[Football] VAR does not work for England

[Hugo Rune]

Tunisian players allowed to rugby tackle in their own area (although the headlock pull down on Kane would have been a penalty in egg-chasing).

The VAR officials had no interest in alerting the Ref to this.

Will the same pattern continue against Panama?

Yes

VIR - Visually Impaired Referee

 

[Icy Gull]

Corruption, surely?

If VAR was any good, it would have told us to get Sterling off after about 6 minutes.

I hope FIFA are open and honestly analysing the refs and VAR after each game, and adjusting accordingly.

Tonight's performance by both was unacceptable.

Kane wasn't even in a contorted mob of players, as he was assaulted each time. Clear in real time and in reply.

And Young not far behind

and the clothes-line tackle on Alli. really was shocking how much he let go.

In one incident I think two players were brilliantly rugby tackled to the floor and wouldn't have looked out of place at Twickenham.

Think it was Kane and Henderson?

Seems to be a Charter for cheats.

 

[Weststander]

The brilliant Terry Butcher taking apart the standard of tonight's ref and tonight's VAR officials, on Radio5Live just now.

He's said taking it on the chin is bollocks, that this will costs teams injustices.

 

[banjo]

VAR= Vlad against Regina.

 

[timbha]

seems like VAR was switched off after the Tunisia pen. Shouldn't be testing it at World Cup.

Tonight's ref and VAR team should be sent home/back to Scotland

 

[Is it PotG?]

Very imbalanced VAR decisions, love the Danny Baker tweets relating to it.

Nice not to hold back.

 

[Zebedee]

And Young not far behind

Both of them were indeed truly awful.

 

[Seagull1989]

I'm just glad Italy aren't in the world cup otherwise I'd be furious at their play acting and wrestling at corners

People are so one-eyed on this stuff.

Tunisia penalty - Walker is careless and his swinging arm catches him in the face. It’s a penalty all day long.

The first half Kane one, he IS fouled, but there is an earlier MASSIVE push by Stones (they missed both of course)

The second half Kane one, watch it again - Kane grabs the guy’s arm, and pulls him onto him.

(apologies as posted in the match thread but seems appropriate for here too)

Now you've pointed it out I can see where I was wrong



Silly me

If that was a penalty all day long then I am done with watching football.
