VAR

I'm sorry, but unless I'm going crazy it's clear as day.

 

Was expecting 6 or 7 minutes. Not quite sure where 10 came from.

 

VAR is just silly isn’t it. Red card all day long

 

Not even a borderline call. Mental!

 

Yh, seen it again now, definite touch.

 

But keepers handle the ball just outside the box half a dozen times every game, it's never pulled up, so why start now.

 

Doesn't matter at least manchester city lost

 

They might as well scrap VAR after the keeper incident as far as I'm concerned, clearly outside the box and Haaland just went to gently knock it gently which would have given him a great opportunity , as clear as you could get in the replay's.
The excuses they came out with for bottling it bore no resemblance to what I saw.
Granted it would have spoilt the game a bit but unfathomable really.

 

All the ex pro footballers in studio saying it’s a sending off but what do they know , Var needs scrapping but unfortunately it’s here to stay.

 

Yellow and a free kick for me
Unless everyone thinks it was a clear goal scoring opportunity.

 

Thought it was marginal that his hand was outside the box to be fair anyway, though I was watching in a pub after a drink or two.
To be honest though, it’s good for football that the decision went Palace’s way. Citeh have had far too many in their favour over the years. Karma….

 

Ball going clean past the goalkeeper with striker heading in a straight line at the ball. How can it be anything but a clear goal scoring opportunity to be running onto a ball with the goalkeeper behind you on his arse?

 

There were defenders getting back. I don't think it's a clear cut red card decision. I do think it should have at least been a yellow, but I don't think VAR reviews can result in the award of a yellow can they?

 

It seems to me var is making its own rules as it goes on

 

Free kick. Sending off. And how far was the flaming linesman in front of the last man. ?

 

The defenders were pulling up. One pretty much came to a stop and the other only started running again after the keeper illegally knocked the ball wide. Without the handball Haaland was through on goal with no defenders between him and the net. It appears that a decision has bizarrely been made based on what happened BECAUSE of the handball, not the situation they were in had he not handled it.

 

No mate, just bin it. All the problems it was meant to address and improve, have actually got worse.

 

Why would they be pulling up if there's a chance of an opponent getting a shot on goal? If they were pulling up surely it's BECAUSE of the GK intervention? Can't have it both ways.

 

Can only go on what the video shows. They were pulling up. Probably because they knew they had no chance of getting back? The main defender starts again when the ball is knocked wide and he realises he's got time to get back.

 

I don't know how to get rid of the control icons, but you can clearly see the defenders, in a position to react. You can't remove the GK from the situation entirely, you've got to think what if everything had happened as it did but his hand didn't touch the ball. Haaland would have needed another touch and been a bit wider, they could have covered.
