The ref has a few seconds to react to the "incident" and decide. If he thinks its a pen, he has to blow the whistle. Anything else would be mental and confusing for all involved. ok fair enough but why is the drop ball uncontested? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rules are adapted all the time in football, such as a foul in the area might get you a red whereas anywhere else it'd be a yellow etc. so not buying that for a second Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pj owl Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I haven’t got a major problem with the actual VAR decisions - but if it had been at Hillsborough would be 1-1 probably. Ask Everton if they think it’s fair. if it is to be used in the competition it should be used at all games otherwise it’s not a level playing field.

MysticOwl Posted January 27, 2019 Author Share Posted January 27, 2019 Nobody is saying VAR was wrong here....we are asking why we didnt get a corner and why was it an uncontested drop ball? Both went against us....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snaykz Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Surely has to be either a corner or a contested drop ball. Why have Wednesday been penalised for the referee making the wrong decision? Even with a contested drop ball, there’s every chance that Chelsea wouldn’t have gone straight down our end and won a penalty. That restart has completely changed the game.

StudentOwl Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) The issue, as I see it, is if the referee doesn't blow there, VAR would check it and conclude it's a corner. What happens, however, if the referee makes a mistake which results in a drop ball. Seems bizarre to me that with the rules as they currently stand that we pay for the referee's error when there was such a natural break and continuation in how the play was developing (corner).

Thats exactly what I’m saying mate We did nothing wrong, the ref made the wrong call We should have got a corner or a penalty... we had neither and Chelsea got the advantage The only way that could have been fair would be Chelsea to give the ball back to us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owl Be Back Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, MysticOwl said: Why was it a drop ball instead of a corner to us? Its in the rules. Ref blew for penalty before ball went out for a corner, therefore its a drop ball. If a VAR review determines that play should not have been stopped, such as reversing a decision to award a penalty, play is restarted with a drop ball at the point of the incorrect call. Not sure why we didn't contest it. Perhaps the players didn't understand the rule either! Edited January 27, 2019 by Owl Be Back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
