They were clearly retaking that corner until they scored... 15:20 - May 10 with 1874 viewsZx1988

Baffling.

Not sure what the moaning is about. No penalty given, Taylor not sent off.

Just can't defend. Reason we are down.

I know that was then, but it could be again..

I’m sitting in the west stand in line with the penalty spot. I’m a referee. In law that was absolutely terrible. You can’t give a yellow card for pushing if the ball is not in play and it’s not reckless.

Both aborted corners saw grappling and fouls committed before the ball came into play, so corner was retaken. Ref’s got that correct.

Set piece defending has been an annoying Achilles heel this year!

I appreciate that. But, if the ball hadn't gone live, there were no grounds for the penalty check against Greaves.

Once that check had failed, the corner should have been considered taken.

Ref had already blown to retake the corner, thinking (correctly) ball hadn’t come into play when the foul was committed. VAR were checking whether ball was in play already when Greaves pulled him down - verified it wasn’t, so original decision stood and corner was retaken.

Until the rules are changed on corner-wrestling we're going to get all this nonsense again and again.

First corner. Ball was 'in play' before Ref blew.

Can't then be another corner at that point.

Either a pen or foul to us.

Ah, fair enough. That makes sense.

It'd be handy if VAR gave a little more information then - I'm not convinced many people in the stadium got the nuance of that particular check.

Ball was not in play at the point the foul occurred, how long until the ref blew his whistle is irrelevant. Always going to be some delay between seeing a foul and raising the whistle to your lips.

Not sure why we’d complain about the first one - if the foul was half a second later it would have been a penalty as it was Greaves that was doing the fouling on that one.

Totally agree with you on this - if they made it clearer what VAR was checking and why they came to the decisions they did, it would make it all a lot easier to understand!

Must admit that the constant wrestling and grappling at corners is spoiling the games for me. It seems it's worse in the Prem. Better coached at it i suppose.

No, the ball was in play and one had even been touched by a player - referee bottled it and the rest of the game was a shambles as a result.

Then surely the ref should blow for a penalty and let VAR check, not signal for another corner which is what he did? I've never seen anything like today to be honest. Either the ref thinks there's a foul or he doesn't but I don't get how the corner comes all the way in and he awards them another corner when the ball hasn't gone out off our player while he then sees whether VAR might be interested.

Foul was before. Hence VAR not giving anything etc etc.

When the ref blows is very important, as if the ball is in play, it would be a bounce ball for the goalkeeper.
