No goal.

So FIFA class that as a clear and obvious error by the assistant? What actually does clear and obvious mean?

So bloody close that.

VAR is a joke. Bits of Cameroon foot the other match, now the end of a tit or something! That's not football.

Used to be a slide rule pass. Now it is a slide rule for offside.

Offside isn't a subjective ruling so i'm not sure the "clear and obvious" principle applies, and if it does it shouldn't. We want the assistants to allow marginal decisions to proceed to reduce the risk of offside calls being made incorrectly. So we can't really complain when a marginal decision is left to proceed and then turn out that it was offside.

This is one aspect of VAR that surely we cal all agree on? The end of assistants having to guess regarding marginal offsides.

Same distance offside that Wood was onside at Watford - did you want VAR then

Perfect illustration of why it will be a nightmare. Fans will have a completely different perception and opinion of VAR decisions depending on if it goes for or against them

Get the point but Wood was way more onside than that was offside....he was about a foot onside

Penalty you tart

Bad miss, or peno?

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:36 pm

Foul!!!

Imploding Turtle · Post by **Imploding Turtle** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:36 pm

That's got to be a foul.

thelaughingclaret · Post by **thelaughingclaret** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:36 pm

Bad miss. She’s been so clinical, should’ve buried it.

Edit: penalty. VAR takes far too long and again I think that’s the wrong decision. Very, very soft but I don’t think the other goal should’ve been ruled out for offside. Justice perhaps? No. Missed penalty. Why didn’t white take it? Why have a centre half take a pen?

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:37 pm

Doubt it.

Claretmatt4 · Post by **Claretmatt4** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:37 pm

Have to give that. Innocuous and unintentional Co tact but it's with her shooting foot, seven yards fro. Goal.

JohnDearyMe · Post by **JohnDearyMe** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:37 pm

Tough call for the officials this one

Inchy · Post by **Inchy** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:37 pm

That should be a pen. Slight touch but it effected her swing

C’mon ref it'd be less obvious if she wacked her with a baseball

Winstonswhite · Post by **Winstonswhite** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:38 pm

That’s not a foul surely.

Imploding Turtle · Post by **Imploding Turtle** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:38 pm

That's definitely a foul. It's minimal contact but it's enough to prevent the shot in that situation.

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:38 pm

I did not expect that.

Imploding Turtle · Post by **Imploding Turtle** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:39 pm

Penalty!

Claretmatt4 · Post by **Claretmatt4** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:39 pm

Cannot see why that isn't a pen. Should have been a red too. Goalscoring opportunity

Inchy · Post by **Inchy** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:39 pm

Dreadful pen

Right decision but how long did that take

What is that?

Darnhill Claret · Post by **Darnhill Claret** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:40 pm

Not sure how we got that. Missed anyway

Winstonswhite · Post by **Winstonswhite** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:40 pm

I thought it was more our player stepping across and kicking back tbh. But hey ho irrelevant as missed anyway.

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:40 pm

Think some of the 'Handball' VAR decisions have been far more dubious than that one.

bobinho · Post by **bobinho** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:40 pm

Awful pen

jrgbfc · Post by **jrgbfc** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:40 pm

Justice done, never a penalty in all this world.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:40 pm

That takes the VAR biscuit!
Speechless.

Two VARs don't make a goal....especially if it's an England penalty!

Weakest penalty takers in the world!

That's a terrible penalty. They've missed three pout of four, FFS.

JohnDearyMe · Post by **JohnDearyMe** » Tue Jul 02, 2019 9:41 pm

Knew as soon as this idiot commentator was talking her up that she'd miss
