I’m hoping someone got him a ticket to watch it in Russia
Croatia can still do it. They look very good. Just need the referee to shut the fuck up.
The VAR referees job according to the rules are to correct/let the ref know when A OBVIOUS mistake has been made on a call. This wasn’t that obvious and different refs would judge this penalty different. In this case the VAR referees should have supported the refs initial decision.
Fuck referees who want to be the centre of attention.
The ref went to VAR though, he didn’t have to.
So what are the 3 guys up in the video room there to do if the ref on the field just goes over to a video screen and makes the final decision?
Yes and the VAR refs job is to point out a OBVIOUS mistake.
Why you asking me to defend VAR?
Goal of the tournament has to be Quaresma :giroud3:
Watch the time wasting from the French. There is no justice when you expect it.
Xhaka’s goal was better than Lingard’s but the BBC got to shove an English goal in there
Right, come on Croatia get one back and no more nonsense from this ref.
Thats fine but the ref went to them, there clearly wasnt agreement so he watched it himself. Can’t see how you can take issue with the VAR lads here.
Jumping like frogs they usually eat :mustafi:
If anything it would have to be checked beforehand and not afterwards. Taking free kicks just to undo them a minute afterwards isn’t really much of a great solution either.
What we need is more technology. If Griezmann was wearing a helmet plugged into the deceit centre of his brain we’d have known it was a dive.
Agreed it’s not a great solution. But these things only matter if a goal gets scored so they could at least try starting there and showing that that sort if cheating will be undone even if you profit from it initially.
The french signing about freedom in a country they had colonized.
No shame
He’s French though and they are dirty, sneaky, slimey fuckers. :laca:
Then he is to blame, because the VAR job is to point out when they think the ref should have a look. Not interfere first when the ref asks for their opinion. If the ref asked himself they should have said no to a video check.
