alanharper Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 VAR means that goals that would otherwise have been awarded can be ruled out because a player's toe was offside. Retrospective action using video evidence means that a player can now be banned for 2 games for diving. But you still can't appeal a ridiculous second yellow card resulting in a player being banned for celebrating a goal, or being sent off for "diving" when being scythed down. And a blatant red card offence can't be later punished if a ref has bottled it and given a yellow card. I'd give the FA/EFL a sarcastic handclap but that's a yellow card offence now as well. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asteener1867 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Worst kind of Refs, the ones that crave attention...They ought to be outed from the game. Sadly the championship seems littered with 'em. Wish they were more like cricket umpires...although....true story Dickie Bird was umpiring a Yorkshire game not long after he had retired from first class cricket, and from his position as Umpire when Yorkshire were bowling appealed along with the fielders for LBW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i used to be sc_owl Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 The game has been broken for years and every change or “improvement” just breaks it further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
