[Albion] Denamrk v Maty Ryan

[Willow]

I'm not arguing about this one, as I'm not sure whether it's a fair decision or not, but in general, having your hands out or up etc is enough.

No need to argue, just check the rule in post #37.

 

[zeemeeuw]

If that Danish lad deliberately got his hand to that ball in that manner then he is playing in the wrong position because he would be the greatest Goalie ever.

 

[Billy the Fish]

Have it down nearer his side?

Impossible if you're challenging for a header, you can't jump like that.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Dislocated shoulder and he stayed on his feet. Take note all you ****ing weak ******** who fake injuries on the ground when nothing happened.

 

[Easy 10]

Denmark player clearly pulled to the floor inside the box by an Aus player tugging him down by his shirt. No review.

Its a mess.

 

[Deadly Danson]

And that shirt tug was far more of a penalty. Why was that not referred if you want consistency? The answer really should be neither should have been referred as neither was clear and obvious. Just let the ref get on with it unless it's an absolute clanger.

 

[Napper]

VAR is crap. Has taken the edge out of that electric moment the ball hits the back of the net.

Exactly. But this was always going to be the problem - one persons "blatant" is another ones "nah".

We've got even more inconsistencies now than before we ever had VAR.

This was always going to be the issue with video decisions

It was indeed.

It'd be interesting to see a montage at the end of the tournament of all the penalty shouts. It'll be fun to go through them and guess or try to remember whether the pens were given or not, to compare them.

 

[Official Old Man]

Ausie number 17 the new wonder kid. He's not bad. Availability

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Delaney looks shit.

Nothing changes with VAR, it just moves the goalposts. Without VAR the football pundits would be talking long and hard about the Iran goal, how a clear offside was allowed to stand. Instead, with VAR we're talking about slight handballs, whether England should have got a penalty for Kane being wrestled. Without VAR there wouldn't have been more than passing comment about either of these incidents.

The end result though remains the same, discussion on controversial decisions that might have changed the result, together withadded time-wasting, loss of spontaneity about goals, and so on. Its a no from me.

 

[Jim D]

Was someone saying that we should get Delaney?

Arzani. Looks really good.

Really? You think people would have dismissed the challenges on Kane with VAR? Just like the goal that wasn't for Lampard. That discussion didn't last long.

It started outside the box, so VAR can't review it.

I'm with you on that.

BTW, as mentioned earlier, the Iran goal wouldn't have stood anyway. The lino had already clocked the offside and flagged for it.

 

[Is it PotG?]

Doesn't look good for the Aussies, France win today then rest the big boys v Denmark.

 

[Seaber]

Need Peru to at least draw with France to blow this group wide open.
