If you needed proof that VAR referees are just there to protect their mates, this is it. Incomprehensible.
“No clear action by the defender”
LOLOLOLOL
What a joke.. how could anyone, let alone a referee, not watch that and immediately see it’s a penalty!
What a joke Howard Webb and the referee’s are. Not worth watching anymore!!
So that is how this bald idiot sounds like
All VAR has done is highlight the sheer incompetence at the highest level.
‘Degree of normal contact’ wow! What a joke!
So once again, VAR isn’t the problem, it’s the people in charge of VAR. I know we shouldn’t discriminate against people with disabilities, but is VAR really the right job for blind people?
Takes out the forest player . Naaah it’s fine
The refs need to shut up and not influence the VAR
Oliver did this with the Doku kick on macca, they scream no pen to Var
This is some dumb level of shit.
Just confirms what we all knew.
Ref needs to stfu… the whole point of VAR is to spot something the ref misses. And the VAR officials, are so spineless they’d make excellent politicians
The defender went through the player from the back… What drugs are they taking?
Now show the VAR refs in the booth to prove they are actually looking at the replay screen instead of wanking each other off in the opposite corner.
Attwell is gaslighting. It’s like he’s describing a completely different clip.
The reality is that it is crystal clear that Attwell has already decided it isn’t going to be a penalty before he even replays it. At the point where he looks at the replay there is absolutely nothing that could ever be on that video that would have persuaded him to follow a course of action leading to a penalty for Forest.
Had Young pulled a gun and shot Hudson-Odoi in the back, Attwell would probably have claimed “Forest player falls over, minimal contact”.
I think our club were spot on; I think there was clear cognitive bias from Attwell in this game. Whether that is related to him being a Luton fan, a dislike or our club (certainly not our first run in with Attwell), “loyalty” to “Taylz” or just the way he was feeling that day, it was there.
Fair play to Forest. Atwell gives that zero consideration
Please don’t crucify me for saying this because I know this is a very unpopular opinion. But I really don’t see much in that to warrant a penalty.
That being said, it does seem to me that the VAR protocol wasn’t followed properly because it seems VAR refs already made up their minds about it not being a penalty and didn’t take their time.
I believe they should have called the ref to decide for himself.
Genuinely think us getting to hear what these morons say is going to wind us fans up even more.
People used to put refs on such a pedestal it was so annoying, hopefully it can improve now they are getting exposed after having to explain their logic. They are absurdly stupid it’s obvious the only requirement to reach the top is to stick up to their mates that are at that level too
They all need to be sent back to basic training. The state of these officials.
Release the audio of the first two as well. You just know it was the same level of quality. I simply do not believe professional refs in that var room cannot see the obvious. Whether it’s corruption, bias, protecting their own I don’t know . But the individuals are not fit for purpose. Webb and pigmol refuse to take action so they are not fit for purpose either.
This is basically exactly what was expected though right?
We knew that it was essentially going to fall back to , “did the referee necessarily make a mistake?”, “no they were both tussling for the ball so get on with the game”.
It’s annoying that they got it wrong and didn’t send him to the screen to look again, but it’s just simply not a massive conspiracy. It’s not even anywhere near the worst of the mistakes this season.
To me, and I think most of us here, they still haven’t got the balance right between flow of the game and getting things right. At one point everything was checked to such detail that it was just none stop waiting and decisions being overruled, now we at the other extreme where they just don’t look at it properly.
Honestly, don’t let him (VAR prick) ever work at the top level until he can referee at an *acceptable* level.
I hate to labour the point I’ve moaned about since VAR was introduced, but yeah it’s his job. If he can’t see that it’s a penalty he shouldn’t work in this field, he’s not good enough.
‘no clear action made by the defender’
It’s inexcusable ineptitude.
I still think a referee should be able to see that’s a penalty in real time, but the blame shouldn’t go on him as much. He gets one chance to see it and make a snap decision, but VAR sees it tens of times with loads of angles and still are this shit.
If we can say that players are shit and should be sold, we should definitely be able to say refs are shit and should be sacked.
Looking at the first shot, the defender has superior position the whole way. He’s closest to the ball the entire time. Then in the second shot, their feet are practically glued together when the ball gets there. Just because the forward sticks his leg in front by a hair, everyone here thinks it’s a penalty? The defender had ball side the entire time and didn’t move on the forward at all.
