That's the other issue. Other sports where it works well are much more stop/start.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Surely you could only challenge decisions? That was a non decision and would require stopping the game in open play. As much as I think it was a foul they’re never going to allow a manager to stop the game in open play.

You challenge when there is a break in play.

I’d rather just get adequate officials really. And if they insist on keeping VAR adequate people running that as well.

It is inherent to VAR in this country. I’ve attended live events in other sports where this kind of nonsense does not happen.

I don’t understand. They can simply show the replay in the stadium and inform the crowd properly. How is that inherently impossible?

They are scared it will cause crowd disorder

That is the line they give, yes. And I understand the history of hooliganism. But that argument seems kind of ridiculous to me (from them, less so you).

If that’s a truly legitimate concern then fair enough I guess. Pretty hard for me to accept out of hand, though.

They are using the spectre of hooliganism as a barrier for their incompetence to hide behind

That’s how it feels to me, too.

The could but they won’t. It’s utterly disgraceful we are treated like this, but we are. They prioritise manufactured suspense and drama for tv viewers overseas above fans in the ground.

Couldn't agree with your last sentence anymore. So wrong.

Whether the late 'goal' should or should not have been disallowed Vs CP. Decision was made by the ref. in his judgement. Was it a 'clear and obvious error?.NO. So why did VAf**kingR get involved. 'we're not going to re referee the game!" the high bar is slipping already

 

[The Bear]

So why did VAf**kingR get involved.

It didn't "get involved". It was checked, the same as every other goal that goes in in any game.

 

[Stan Hullis]

Yeah of all the VAR related things to get wound up by. This doesn’t seem one.

 

[Tyrannosaurus Dan]

He sounds like he gets wound up by most things tbf.

He's big and bad, what do you expect?

Absolutely incedible from Dermot Gallagher, if his view is representative of how referee's view the game then there's no wonder refereeing and VAR is so poor.

That is absolutely baffling

He's just trying to defend the ref, that's all he's doing. He's talking utter rubbish if he doesn't think that's a foul

Just covering for his pals. I thought it was a pen in real time.

Warnock’s reaction to Gallagher saying he doesn’t think it’s a penalty is brilliant.
