I don't understand why the ref decided to consult the var official after he'd blown for half time.
TMO can offer advice on the matter of foul play or the scoring of a try
They don’t get it right all the time and there’s often still those who disagree but on the whole Rugby has made work
Football however seems to want it right and right now
Me I prefer to have it than not
The system works well in MLS.
Referee doesn't instigate a review; they have people watch all the footage. IF there is clear and obvious footage that a mistake was made, then the review team notify the referee asking him to take a look at the footage.
One example was a goal that was given; real time looked ok, the footage however showed striker deliberately handled the ball. The decision was overturned and striker booked in less than 2 minutes.
Yup, time was added on.
Again, this isn't something in MLS that happens 6, 7 times a game - it's the case there where the external officials can see there's evidence the wrong decision was made then they notify the official. If referees are the ones who call for a review then there runs the risk of them using it as a crutch to either defend their decision or giving them a get out of jail free card.
It’s all about helping the ref get decisions right! Surely that’s good for the game to have no howlers due to human error?
With this VAR decision in mind, what about this scenario:----
Full time whistle goes, crowd start leaving, VAR states that there was a handball and a pelanty in the last minute !
Crowd starts panicking, some trying to get out, some trying to get back in.
People getting trampled, kids squashed and crying.
UTTER CHAOS
Please don't say it couldn't happen, because the above scenario says it could.
