VAR decisions

[stomalomalus]

Is there anything that can be done?

Last season was characterised by us being on the wrong end out countless VAR decisions. And then today.

I totally understand the ref not giving it. On first viewing, it could be seen as making the most out of minimal contact. But on replay it is absolutely 100% a penalty. I can't see how the decision is come to. It makes absolutely zero sense.

IF there was no VAR, you can take that decision as just one of those things, but VAR is there to stop decisions like that from happening. Decisions where the ref makes the wrong call, for whatever reason.

And that it hurts us yet again...

Is there anything that can be done? Should Keith come out and talk about it?

 

[Edmundo]

I've absolutely no idea how that wasn't given as a penalty by VAR.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

There are none.

 

[teesbee]

Yeah, don't worry. They'll come out again in two months and say it should have been a penalty. So that'll be nice.

Maybe they've discontinued VAR without telling anyone? Kind of what it feels like - last season every decision was micro-managed, this season we're not seeing any offsides on the screen and they're seemingly not getting involved in any decisions. Mysterious.

That was a shocking decision.

I’m fairly sure we enjoy a reasonable relationship with ProRef and someone will be on the phone to Howard asking for an explanation.

Let’s see what Ref Watch, Dale Johnson and the KMI Panel say.

Would have been given if we had Leeds shirts on.

Do we need another thread ripping to shreds every decision which goes against us?

If standing on a player's foot is a foul, then there's no excuse for not overturning that decision. In a game of football feet are quite important so I would assume it is a foul but I just don't know anymore.

When its as clear cut as that, yes

 

[jlove]

Perhaps Bees United should go all Marinakis?

Referee Watch 2026/7 also available. Perhaps we should have a “We got away with one there” thread

 

[Les Beeavinu]

I agree, I think there are enough threads available so we don't need a new one.
