Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

[Orikoru]

the bit where you moaned about VAR not working as youre not getting pens for diving or before that?

*sigh*
No.

 

[Kellfire]

Which whistle because the video replays show his whistle nowhere near his mouth

Use your ears, man.

 

[Tashyboy]

There have got the still of him with whistle in mouth before the shot

Awful officiating in any circumstance, but once the whistle had stopped the game there's nothing more than can be done.

Every days a Skool day, am sure they mentioned it on MOTD, but never showed a piccie of him blowing his whistle. VAR showing ref blowing whistle would help 😁

Have you never heard a whistle in the crowd?

It was shown on MOTD - it was clearly the ref’s whistle.


Because if he hasn’t blown it, he wouldn’t have given a dive against Grealish...

It was MOTD on Saturday that queried it.
JJ said “it was the worst reffing decision he has ever seen”
They showed footage to show he didn’t put his whistle to his mouth.
Nowhere have I seen any video/ photo to show he did.
It might be out there ,I havnt seen it though ,

I have been at the match with knobs with whistles.

Pretty sure it was MOTD where they played the audio to prove it. Sorry if you can't tell the difference and just believe Jermaine Jenas.

I stand corrected.

Youre right though in MOTD got it wrong. Lineker was still bleating on about it when this pick was going around until Le Tiss tweeted him. He quickly went quiet!

Read what I said .
You are confusing seeing with hearing.
Motd said they didn’t see his arm go up to his mouth.
But they did listen to the audio.
Sorry if you can’t see the difference.

I can tell the difference between players AND the referee reacting to a whistle blown by the referee.

Cheers 👍

Interesting that he didn’t blow for the first foul but then blew for the “simulation” - it was shocking refereeing from him and not the first time from Friend. The question is if he didn’t dive then it’s a foul there somewhere and VAR should have overruled the “free kick” for the simulation

...The question is if he didn’t dive then it’s a foul there somewhere and VAR should have overruled the “free kick” for the simulation

Is it though? That's one of those instances for me that's just contact. It's not a dive, it's not a free kick or a pen. It's just contact. Either way, it's terrible officiating.

But instructions to the VAR officials do not permit them to review every decision, only those where there is thought be a "clear and obvious error".

All goals are reviewed but otherwise, no matter how much we may think they should be, decisions are not automatically reviewed.

How do you know if it's a clear and obvious error until you've reviewed it? It's classic FA and their stupid wording of things muddying the waters really.

As I understand it all matches are being viewed by VAR in real time and it is only taken to full scrutiny if the VAR officials think there may have been a "clear and obvious error" based upon that one real time viewing.

Just convinces me that I was right in never wanting VAR in the first place

This is what I thought they said, the bit i cannot get my head a round is this. If we are following Rugby to an extent with VAR. The ref would of let that play continue, goal scored it goes to VAR. REF can ask to see if Grealish dived or not, or any other reason why the goal should not stand. But coz ref allegadly blew the whistle. It don't go to VAR.
Again the similarities between the Grealish decision and the City goal cancelled v Spurs. Not one player complained re the goals. It was a goal in both instances. Every player on the pitches knew it. But VAR and refs screwed up.
This is another of my griefs, the refs until VAR were getting decisions wrong. Var has come along, yet the same people that were getting decisions wrong then, are in charge of VAR and still getting them wrong.
I was all for VAR, but qiute frankly it's getting on me tits now. Another thing, if telly is seeing the VAR decisions, show the same decisions at the grounds so the rioting can begin.

It would be reviewed by VAR who would be watching every incident and it was clear and obvious to every one that there was contact so should have been changed but then it’s just the same poor referees making the same poor decisions either with the whistle or in front of a screen
