Penalty Portugal.
VAR decision
Saved by the keeper. CR7 is human
Never a penalty , VAR is not meant for football. Cricket needs the technologyQuote:

I wish Mark Lawrenson would get sent off. Annoying pr!ck.
Iran 1-1 Portugal
penalty after VAR again
Portugal could go out if they concede again
1 min of added time to go
Bang on.Quote:

Portugal look like they now have a next round game 10x harder because of two VAR decisions and one certainly, in this game, that beggars belief.

Surely it is the implementation that is to blame, how a room full of ref's consider not giving that penalty to be a 'clear and obvious mistake' is beyond me.Quote:

Do not enjoy that mock cards being handed out is being replaced by greedy players drawing imaginary boxes?Quote:

It doesn't get rid of controversy, it may generally reduce it but it might also simply change the nature of it.
Lawrenson is a total tw@t. Offers nothing , unfunny sarky comments all game.
BBC need to employ someone else.
What a ****ing horrendous decision that Iran penalty was. What the **** is the point in VAR
Agree, that decision was beyond a joke. No matter how many times you view that no professional referee can call that a deliberate handball.Quote:

He was appalling tonight with his 'not for me' and other smart arse comments.Quote:
