I didn't see match of the day, what did the monkeys in the studio think?
No ofcourse there are! But put it this way. That foul by Jags last night in Championship is a yellow card and stays a yellow card. The ref saw the situation and gave it as he saw fit. Someone 200 miles away in a box in a room full of monitors decides actually I think it is a red card. So the match official, the man given the game, goes to a monitor with his finger in his ear listening to this other official and decides that the images, which were still frames, not slow mo, not full speed, show clearly that El Ghazi would have gone on to get a clean shot away. Therefore its a red card. Its BS of the highest order. The decision is subjective and not clear and obvious. VAR is re-refereeing games. Might as well have the man in Stockley Park ref the game and tell the pitch official which way to point.
"Only benefit"
Not as bad as in the prem.I did warn our fans before we had kicked a ball what to expect in this bent league and the officials have not let me down.Evan with VAR they still get it wrong but the further you go up table the more they seem to get it right apart from when we were up there of course.The shocking farse at Villa last season was a good example (the goal that never was) which would have sent villa down but for some remarkable reason all three safe gaurds involving goal recornignition failed all at the same time even though tv cameras showed clearly it was a goal but we can't have us helping sending villa down can we.We had maybe the worst or in the top 6 total of negative calls with VAR in europe.Not as bad as the famous liverpool one though when they were awarded a penalty because our defender THOUGHT about fouling Gerrard and of course there was the West Ham fiddle .It is not just the officials it is the all set up that is suspect.The bigger the club the more you can get away with.The smaller the club the least you can get away with and if you are so good you should be wearing a halo they will event something to keep you down like awarding penalties for nothing to the opposition.
Your comments sound a little 'chip on the shoulder' but interesting point re the conversation being private. In cricket the dialogue between 12th umpire and onfield umpire is audible so completely transparent process. In horse racing the transcript of a stewards' enquiry is in the public domain, so again no smoke and mirrors. Football should follow suit fast.
They said “no red card”. I don’t think anyone anywhere has said it should have been a red?
After the match on BT they went to their resident ex-PL ref (Walton?) who said it was a red, when they went back to the the two pundits talking about it they then both dodged the question of whether it was red or not, which I thought was very poor from both of them as it was fairly clear they didn't think it was.
Yes there were and are bad refereeing decisions in the championship just like the premier league
There are no good VAR decisions because it disrupts the game dear me disrupts the flow of play ridiculous measurements to the millimetre. Goal line technology only oh hang on a minute that doesn’t work either does it
The very fact that in international matches involving national teams from all over the world british refs taking on these games are virtually non existent compared to years ago speaks volumes .We must have the poorest set of officials in Europe some seem to make the rules up as the game goes on .Complete farce every week when watching match of the day every Sat night when you see one ref making different judgements to the next ref in the next match .What fans want is consistency ,they need to know that no matter WHO is playing in each match they are ALL playing to the same rules and judgments no matter how big or wealthy the clubs are from the smallest club to the biggest clubs .
