It’s a marginal call, the ref doesn’t have a great view and the context of the match and when it happens, means it’s understandable that the ref didn’t make an on-field decision, and hoped that VAR would help him. I’d place a lot of the blame on the VAR room 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Aus Fox Posted 27 February 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 27 February 2022 The big problem I have with VAR, is the pitch side monitor and it’s lack of use. No we don’t want everything looked at, and if it’s straight forwards it should be over turned immediately. Now a decision like yesterday and the Dawson goal against us, if the on field ref had disallowed the Dawson goal or given an Everton penalty the VAR wouldn’t have overturned either decision. So, if you’re going to go with the on field decision, you need to make sure the ref has all the facts to make his call. Anything 50/50 should be viewed again, otherwise what’s the point in the pitch side monitor. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lako42 Posted 27 February 2022 Share Posted 27 February 2022 They play suicide football. The defensive shape yesterday made us look like arsenal in the 90s. They will at least be much more organised against us now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However their players will be well up for it next weekend- i’m sure there will be plenty of their players trying to show the manager why they should be in the team. New manager doesn’t always guarantee results, but their players will want to prove a point- both to their fans, but also to impress the new manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather go back to plain old on pitch cunty referee's. I want VAR to stay. At least when they made howlers there is clear visual evidence of it now, rather than just the referees shaking their head and waving stuff away like we had before. 3 hours ago, ttfn said: The handball rule never needed changing in the first instance. It all seemed to come about from this, which some people seemed adamant wasn’t a penalty: Of course this is a penalty, he’s played the ball deliberately with part of his arm. The fact that it also touches his shoulder doesn’t matter, he’s gained an advantage from playing the ball deliberately with his arm. Wow, I thought that pic was gonna be an example of a penalty given that clearly shouldn't have been. That's one of the most obvious cases of shoulder and not arm I've ever seen. Clear non pen. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobyfox Posted 27 February 2022 Share Posted 27 February 2022 Bielsa sacked!! I’m a bit shocked by that as the whole identity of this Leeds side is built around Bielsa’s philosophy.

The line literally has to be drawn somewhere so the question you’ve got to ask is whether it’s better that Mings gets punished and Rodri and Dawson get away with it or vice versa. I’d be surprised if many people thought that yesterday’s handball shouldn’t be a penalty. My personal opinion is that the Mings one should be punished, yours is the opposite, but clearly there’s a debate to be had there whereas yesterday’s one goes against everything we’ve understood handball to be since day dot. Agree with you about VAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bielsa was another who broke his players, you can be one of the most pioneering coaches out there but if your players can't cope then it's futile. We're in the same boat, absolutely no point plotting and planning anything, we're always good for half a dozen injuries if not more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
