LiVARpool strike again

HOW is that a clear and obvious error? Sorry I know it’s palace but this is just nonsense now, such over analysis of the game

Because its a clear foul and an obvious error

 

[Grizz]

Pre VAR you'd have said no foul there, good decision to give the pen, but Hughes didn't touch the ball, so has to be a foul and no penalty.

Oh and taking far too long. Far, far too long.

 

[Hendrax]

oh just f*** off VAR. it is so shit

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

Because its a clear foul and an obvious error

The ref saw that clearly in the build up. If he didn't think it was a foul then, why now?

 

[The Wizard]

Referee watches it 20+ times and changes his mind, absolute nonsense.

How can something be a clear and obvious error if it takes 20+ times watching it in slow mo to decide you’re wrong?

 

[Washie]

The ref saw that clearly in the build up. If he didn't think it was a foul then, why now?

Because from that angle, it looks like Hughes gets the ball. I thought that too at the time. However is clear he didn't get the ball

 

[Grizz]

I mean it is the correct decision, it's a foul on Endo, but just takes too long.

 

[Eric the meek]

The foul on Endo wipes out the penalty then. I assume it wipes out the yellow for VVD?

 

[Muzzman]

VAR Ha Ha

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

Because its a clear foul and an obvious error

The only debate should be why it took the ref so long to realise he’d made a mistake in missing the initial foul before the penalty decision.

 

[Coxovi]

Actually for me that is what VAR is for, that would have been a really bad mistake otherwise. Hughes (I think) went right through him and kicked him from behind.

I do agree here, there was no need for it to take so long. It was clear that it was a foul

 

[El Turi]

How did the referee miss that foul by Hughes. Every single referee in this league is appalling.

 

[Washie]

This is why VAR is needed. Unfortunately, it is these same referees who are using VAR.

 

[Eric the meek]

I'll say it very quietly.

VAR enabled the correct decision to be made.

 

[Kalimantan Gull]

I think if it was the critical challenge in a penalty, fine, overrule. But it was just in the buildup, it was hardly a blatant error, it's just VAR intervening where it didn't need to.

 

[Hendrax]

absolutely. its just the way it got there that puzzles me.

It was a blatant error though

 

[The Wizard]

Let’s be honest that’s one of those that because it’s palace it’s correct decision and no arguments, if that’s us we’d say that’s very very soft, especially by the parameters of ‘clear and obvious’ for me if the referee has to watch that many times then by definition it can’t be obvious.
