theowlsman Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 As I stated in another thread, the only thing that was consistent about the use of VAR was that all the games involving the Premier League’s elite clubs had it. Otherwise it was hit and miss. That’s not right. All games should have it, or none of them. You can’t have inconsistencies in decision making. Something else the FA have got wrong.

robswfc Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Surely the ref should be instructing the players its a contested drop ball?? No chance they would have got a pen 60 seconds later had he done that. Clearly he didn't know the rules. Pathetic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetersfieldOwl Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 So a forward scores a goal and as the ball is just about to go in the ref blows for "offside".VAR shows him "onside",so play should not have been stopped so it's a drop ball!??

punkskaphil Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 11 minutes ago, Owl Be Back said: 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! No he didn't. You can hear the whistle being blown after the ball goes out of play. I wondered if it might be that we hear it late because of the distance the sound has to travel, but it comes from microphones around the edge of the pitch so there's no delay. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/47020999 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, if a mistake was made it certainly wouldn't be the first nor will it be the last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) . I'n not sure on our overruled pen by VAR committee. Only seen it three times and I think there is a case that the Chelski defender deliberately tries to prevent a clean strike at the ball. He hasn't attempted to play the ball and his calf is kicked because of this, consequently his foot is launched into contact with the ball, rather than playing the ball cleanly. If so it should have been a penalty. Have a look, several looks and see what you think once having reflected ?

Freshfish Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 (edited) ... we’re blaming the ref and milliseconds ... The only mistake made was the ref actually blowing for a penalty to us. VAR at all games or none but to feel cheated because of what happened makes us sound like spoiled kids. Rubbish decision, excellent tackle and he took the ball with his toe and steered it away from goal and we were asleep for the drop ball. Very, very good young player.

Onge Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 In real time, I didn't think ours was and I did think theirs was. VAR confirmed my first impressions. It's just so typical that any other season in history we'd have got the decision - and away at Chelsea of all places - but as is the Wednesday way the footballing gods urinated on our bonfire. Not that it would have made a difference - we weren't at the races today - but at least the fans could have had something to cheer about... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sternlad Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Didn’t like the way he was all pally pally with Chelsea players...having banter with Higuain before second half kicked off. Got the feeling he was treating Wednesday like plebs from a lower order...Reyt twohat! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s6 owl Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 Completely the correct decision but VAR will play its part in killing football as we know and love it so please just fooook it off while it is still relatively new. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the penalty can be awarded after the ball has gone out of play, so that part of the process was correct (even if VAR proved the decision to award the penalty was wrong). The point of the drop-ball restart, however, is because if he blows the whistle to award the penalty whilst the ball is still in play, it can affect what the players were doing (i.e. they may play to the whistle and stop instead of trying to intercept the ball). A drop-ball is the only fair way to restart in that case. In tonight's case the ball was out of play already when the whistle was blown, so the correct way to restart would've been with the corner.
