VAR 21:57 - Jun 19 with 1406 viewsbraveblue

Just watched Scotland women game. What a complete shambles. Comical. Team of people could not decide on a late penalty. Inexperienced ref looked at it umpteen times then saw a headline. Penalty saved and now a couple of inches off the line is a retake and yellow card. This is going to kill football. Ref then blew up about 5 mins early to get off the pitch. Unbelievable.

Totally agree, absolute joke at the end, even the commentators had no idea what was happening when the game finished early.

Absurd.

Equally absurd that the last 8 minutes of the England game was accompanied by commentary on the Scotland game. No reference to game being shown at all. Wasnt even obvious it was full time. Awful coverage.

FIFA must surely look into that ending. Complete farce. How can you be deprived of that amount of time...could have made all the difference. Mind you....what were the Scots doing 3-0 up and mucking it up....very naïve of them.

Sorry but that was comedy gold.

I just wish this wasn't the lasses, feel sorry for them.

I wish this happened just like that to the Scottish men's team. 3-0 up and minutes away from qualifying then choke like that.

The VAR, penalty retake and ref not adding on any extra time just added to the hilarity.

3-0, it's the new 2-0

I don't understand why a yellow card is necessary, if you move early and save it your save is chalked off, if you move early and it goes in, it's a goal. What is the reason for further punishment? Are we going to have yellow cards for offside next season?

The penalty shoot outs will be interesting. Any misses will be reviewed for about a minute with possible retakes and keepers getting sent off.

Changes to the laws of the game are made by the British (with FIFA approval). We only have ourselves to blame.

Yep absolute farce, albeit each decision was correct. Surely a better option would be to allow Captains 2 opportunities to appeal, and only then go to VAR, rather than have a team pawing over every incident and disrupting and ruining games.

The other rule change that can do one, is the delay of offside flag. In the England game tonight the flag only briefly went up (for offside against Japan) not when their attack broke down, but when England had won it back and quickly lost it again. The lino put the flag straight back down as it had become completely irrelevant by the time it was raised.

Usually enjoy seeing the Scots knocked out, but that was beyond harsh.

Don't know how the keeper kept her cool.

VAR should not be used to check if a keeper is a millimetre off the line.
