Disallowed goal...

Would have made very little difference of course, but makes a mockery of clear and obvious. They spent 3-4 minutes and even when the ref went over to the monitor he took some convincing, but bottled going against the voice in his ear.

VAR should not be searching for opportunities to disallow goals, not one Forrest player including the keeper appealed for it. Ref was shite all night, for both teams as well.

The keeper was appealing straight away and went all the way to the half way line to have his say to the referee.

Was a shocking decision to disallow it though by the referee & VAR.

How come it took 5 minutes and 15 seconds to decide that then?

Would you be happy if VAR allowed a goal where Roefs had his jumping leg taken out from under him, stopping him from being able to dive?

Bollocks - he went for the ball and there was contact. Not a foul in a million years; what’s he meant to do?

The slide that stopped their keeper from putting his jumping foot down wasn’t ‘going for the ball’, it was the follow through after challenging, and it impeded the keeper

It was a foul and it characterised his showing last night.

However, from a VAR perspective, it was nonsense.

The keeper went nuts and was screaming on the half way line in the referees face

It wasn't a foul for me.

If you win the ball and absolutely clatter into the keeper high and dangerously it's an obvious foul.

If you win the ball and slide into the keeper and barely touch him at slow speed it isn't a foul. If that happens anywhere else on the pitch I don't think it would be given a foul. It's ridiculously soft.
 
Not that we were going to fight back from 4 down but it completely killed the momentum we had going by pissing about for so long with it. If they referee's were not so shit we might have grabbed one or two back if we kept the pressure on.
 
I think if that's against us we're saying the GK couldn't launch properly. Annoying but I'd agree correct decision.
 
Another example of VARs weakness. Things look completely different watching in slowmo. You could see in real time the keepers momentum was going backwards and was never getting anywhere near the ball. But then you slow it down and watch over and over again and then you have to disallow it because you can see the contact even though common sense tells you it’s not a foul.

Regardless of whether people thought it was a foul or not, it really shouldn't be taking the best part of 5 minutes for them to actually come to a decision. The introduction of VAR has been one of the worst things to have ever happened to the sport.

Ideal piss break though. Just wait until they figure they can use that time for adverts.
