The PL should pay whatever it takes to get that ref to England.

Thought VAR was supposed to spot the divers, when it does refs should book them, instead they just wave it away.

The refs aren't allowed to do that after a VAR check though... they can only give the yellow if they see it immediately.

Yep.

In order to preserve the special role of the referees and their right to be the ones making the decision, which is, as everyone knows, the most important thing in football which is all about the referees (who never wanted VAR in the first place and sabotaged it with lengthy delays and that), the scope of the outcome of VAR checks has been severely restricted. VAR can check whether a penalty should have been given if it wasn't. It cannot check whether a yellow card should have been given if the ref hadn't given one. It can however check whether a straight red should have been given, had no card been given (and it wouldn't have done so here because diving is not a straight red offense).

About time.

Delicious. That's made me feel all warm and happy.

Neymar is such a tosser.

An overrated, penalty bottling cheat. I wish he'd f*** off back to Brazil.

 

[A1X]

He’s got the arrogance of Ronaldo without the track record to justify it

Then change the f***in' VAR rules so that maybe, just maybe, VAR can do a little bit of good for the game.

The only clear and obvious error there is PSG's manager playing the cockwomble In the first place.

A Truly marvellous scene

Not just an overrated, penalty bottling cheat, he also left the stadium before the end of the game because he was throwing a tantrum about being sent off.

 

[Springal]

He wanted to spend new year with his sister, obviously

 

[Bodian]

He didn't complain much - he knew...

 

[Braggfan]

There's some pictures online of him being right in the ref's face complaining about it.

Ah, right - wasn't shown in the video! Cheers.

So apart from that you quite like him

Absolutely. Best post on here for a long time. Thank you.

That’s an unusual take on it. The refs don’t make the rules.

He didn't say they make the rules, he said they make the decisions. Subjective laws are all 'in the opinion of the referee', meaning that it is the referee who makes the decision and why VAR can only advise to look again on subjective calls.

 

[Machiavelli]

Well, maybe 2023 might be a good year. Neymar can spend the new year celebrations commiserating with his great mate Bolsonaro, while Ali Mac and Messi have a great party.
