I think it's completely fair to wonder if "clear and obvious" should be the stanard of review and if it is, if the way it has been interpreted and applied is right.
But the standard is "clear and obvious" and it's a fair question to wonder if something that takes 5 minutes is in fact clear and obvious.
(FWIW, I'd rather they get it right, even if it take more time. But the standard is what it is.) Previous Message
especially when it could very well be the call that decides who wins the league. Previous Message
but I have major issues with the fact that it took so long to sort out, and that there is so much fuckery allowed on every corner kick. Arsenal is the worst in this regard. Rice had his hands completely around the waist of an offensive player. Previous MessagePrevious Message
so which one do you call? Previous Message
"completely rethink how they use VAR or dump it"
BECAUSE THEY GOT THE CALL RIGHT.
Meanwhile on Saturday, City should have had a red on Silva AND two other penalties against them with none of it called and no one said shit.
It's insanity. Previous Message
The inconsistency is the problem. They need to either completely rethink how they use VAR or dump it. Previous Message
but it's too bad they didn't allow the goal so we could see Arsenal fans suddenly complaining about goalkeeper interference after not saying a word when they scored plenty of set piece goals interfering as much as possible with goalkeepers throughout the season.
