Sexton Hardcastle Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 How they don’t fully review the Roma shout at the end is why VAR will never work well. Absolutely no consistency in these calls.

Remember years ago Larsson getting a goal chalked off in Europe. May have been against Barca. Keeper clears a pass back heading straight towards Larsson's face. Option 1 - Larsson put hands up to protect face which he did. Ball bounces kindly and he rolls ball past keeper to score. Option 2 - duck, no chance of goal. Option 3 - let the ball smack him in the face, unlikely he woyls be the player to score, albeit ball may have broken to a team mate Ref chalked off goal for deliberate hand ball. Tic went mental. Sure they were beaten. It's subjective, but Larsson gained an advantage. And goes back to it's not just what the laws say, but how the refs are trained to interpret them.

jamie1874 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I think they need to consider if the ball doesn’t hit his arm is it stopped by his body anyway. In the PSG game his ability to block the ball was made bigger by his arm position. It it doesn’t hit his arm it continues moving in the same direction the shot was hit. Harsh, probably, but would have been screaming for it if it was us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzas right boot Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 A defender at that level should never turn his back. School boy stuff. If you turn your back and raise your hands then you're in a unnatural position due to spinning around and turning your back. He should be face it up and letting him hit him, or in this case let it go over the bar. Turn your back like a big Jessie, arm out, penalty for me. Turning your back is awful defending, at Ucl level it's particularly poor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is also deliberate. Or you argue nothing is deliberate unless say handle on line to stop goal. McGhee at Aberdeen in that definition wasn't deliberate.
