Marc Albrighton Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 No matter how obvious the decision you still get the few who disagree, not having a go but you can see why VAR will always be problematic when even the most seemingly obvious decisions can be interpreted in a different way.

Late tackles are results of incompetence. Handballs like this are due to natural movements; it's not like Suárez preventing a goal with his hand four years ago. We're playing football. We shouldn't expect players to control every movement of every part of their body. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't expect players to control every movement of every part of their body. I'd agree if his arm was just above his body, but it was bloody vertical. Haven't seen that in a while. If they allowed situations like this, how long would it be before defenders try to exploit it? What about shots that are clearly headed on target but stopped by non-deliberate handballs where arm isn't close to the body? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
