PGMOL apologise to Forest

[Ned Land]

There should be a VAR jury of 5 people and the majority decision is relayed to the ref.

1x Former player, 2x qualified referees, a half vote each for gaz Neville and Micah Richards, and 1 total vote for the SKY soccer Saturday studio panel.

At least when refs made mistakes it was because they saw it once.

They’ve now got unlimited replays and unlimited time to view those replays, and they still can’t get it right.

That’s pure incompetence.

Or something more sinister imho. Corruption.

Just shows that he doesn’t know the rules of the game he’s overseeing. It’s pathetic.

humph, stuck at work, can't see that.

No he won't, goverments can't influence rules no matter what he says.

How can a pro ref not see that the ball has hit his arm there man.

It’s every week with Man Utd. Imagine Man Utd played Celtic, the refs and VAR wouldn’t have a clue what to do.

too little too late

good job there wasn't much riding on it other than the few millions quid forest would get for finishing higher in the league

 

[Lawrenceslongthrowin]

For not ruling out Cunha’s goal after Mbuemo’s hand ball.

It’s just ridiculous isn’t it? How can the ref miss it in real time, have his mate say “you might want to look at this”, watch a replay, and still get it wrong?

If the people refereeing the game don’t know the rules, what are they doing there in the first place?

I saw it for 10 seconds while in pub and said handball immediately , ridiculous decision

 

[tunstallhill]

I saw it for 10 seconds while in pub and said handball immediately , ridiculous decision

so did millions of others.

it would have taken 10 seconds for the VAR to say to the ref 'that goal is ruled out because of handball, free kick to nottingham forest in their own box, get on with the game, thanks'

and it would have been over with, nobody would have battered an eyelid

 

[Eric gates hair]

How can you even have the audacity to call that a misjudgement !!!!!!!!


It’s just a complete fuck up.

 

[Gene Hunt]

Might as well have a coin toss to decide the decision. Heads handball, tails no handball. Captains go to the centre circle with the referee to call. Imagine the suspense in the stadium

 

[PJH]

Surprised they've apologised as surely it's just down to a subjective opinion of if his arm is in an unnatural position or not. Obviously hits the arm, doesn't seem deliberate as the ball is deflected to him and then is coming off his stomach area.

But the rules seem a mess as if he'd scored himself in that moment instead of his shot being blocked it would have been ruled out no question. But because he didn't it's subjective opinion handball again. Which is a bit silly anyway that because he didn't score it's not a clear cut absolute decision despite the handball being the same.

 

[dangermows]

Accidental tbf. It's come off another body part first and his arm is in a natural position.

 

[jcrossan]

Maybe the ref thought it was a game of rugby and Man Utd were looking to score a try.
