Saw that. Just find it amazing and ridiculous that be VAR would see the initial shove/backing into as a red card offence. | |

How many times have we seen players kick the ball away at free-kicks in our games without censure? |  | | |

All VAR has done is add layers to human inconsistency - the spurs keeper handling outside the box yesterday, the two penalty incidents in our game at the Etihad etc all show why it’s not fit for purpose.
When Haaland committed a far worse foul and jumped in on someone with no censure, you have to question how the Trossard foul warranted one. Even before we get into the afters.
Ref might have cost Arsenal the title here |  |

VAR couldn't look at the Spurs keep handaball because it didn't deny a goal scoring opportunity. It's not in their remit. |  |

But that’s my point. The city penalty was, but Leif being hauled down wasn’t. A goalkeeper controlling the ball away from an attacker when it would have left him out of goal isn’t deemed one. But it’s a massive game changing moment.
What’s the point of it if the bloke watching it can’t say to the ref you’ve made a mistake? The implementation needs an overhaul because as it is, it’s ruining the game more. | |

VAR has nothing to do with it. They have no input on yellow cards, even a 2nd yellow so not sure what the TV commentators are on about. |  | | |

I’m aware of that. But the TV folks have access to VAR audio in real time and reported that the VAR considered Trossard’s “foul” was worthy of a red.
I mention it to highlight what a terrible take that is from the VAR and another reason why the whole thing needs blowing up. | |

What does blowing it up even mean? It's just another ref who views the foul differently to the on field ref, and that's really the issue. The law is open to interpretation and refs are making hundreds of decisions a game. We are going to have to just deal with it, at some point and acknowledge it's now basically impossible for them to get everything right.
On Trossard, I think the kicking the ball away was intentional given he absolutely would not have kicked it like that if he knew play was continuing, but also his foul before hand probably would've got him a yellow. Basically he was a bit of an idiot kicking it away given what happened to Rice last week. [Post edited 22 Sep 2024 20:22]
