Spellczech Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 Kerr is messing this up.

They only passed it sideways because the Japanese where covering the ground and closing down the spaces, as soon as they stopped, the Scots where able to push forward and the space then became available.

Not sure I buy into conspiracy theories, but we were certainly on the wrong end of a string of decisions (or lack of decisions). Our first penalty claim should have gone to VAR, the second didn't need VAR as it was a stonewaller, like you say. Without the misuse of VAR in this tournament, we would have been sitting on played two, drawn two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But sideways is being kind, it was largely backwards. They frequently weren't even looking for a forward ball, so it was irrelevant whether Japan were closing down the spaces. Also I don't believe that Scotland are fitter than Japan, given the history of the two set-ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of conspiracy theories - but yes, they are! Mainly because the Japan penalty was so soft and didn't go to VAR - that set the tone. Our claim when Cuthbert's foot was kicked was a perfect opportunity to use VAR - it somehow wasn't required. Then there was a stonewaller handball - raised arm deliberately moving towards the ball - now even if the ref was afflicted by temporary blindness, what was her excuse for not going to VAR? It leaves a bad taste. The offside decision against us (about 3 yards onside) in the lead up to Japan's first, maybe we could just put down to incompetence.

Snorri1 Posted June 14, 2019 Share Posted June 14, 2019 It's just incredible that that handball incident isn't even checked on VAR. To me , going by what we've seen in the tournament so far and had explained by numerous pundits / commentators, that's a penalty. At least a VAR check. Typical we'd be on the wrong end of it. I imagine we'll need to beat Argentina by 3 goals to go through and we'll be a goal away after an amazing effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
