Was thinking this. The reverse angle looked so different, like his toe made contact with the shin. The shown angle made it look like he was stamping on his ankle. VAR was very very selective and showed a still that was easily the “most red”. Is this how re-refereeing is supposed to work?Has the VAR protocol changed? We saw a camera angle from behind the referee and at no point was he shown the Jones challenge at full speed?
If he only saw what we saw not sure why the decision changed as the angle would be no helpHas the VAR protocol changed? We saw a camera angle from behind the referee and at no point was he shown the Jones challenge at full speed?
It was off close but could see he was in front so weren’t neededNo lines for the Diaz goal?
Could you? Romeros back foot was a long way back and Diaz looked "more offside" than he was because his arm was ahead of any ball-playing body part. Well worth a moment to put the lines in just to be sure.It was off close but could see he was in front so weren’t needed
As shown above to my naked eye he looked a long way ONside. This looks like a horrible VAR mistake and I look forward to Webb explaining this one!It was off close but could see he was in front so weren’t needed
It was a really quick check too, right? VAR had to miss the other defender and only focused on the Spurs defender closest to Diaz.As shown above to my naked eye he looked a long way ONside. This looks like a horrible VAR mistake and I look forward to Webb explaining this one!
Could also be that the broadcast still was not the same moment of the pass used by VAR. We’d need the Sky editors to check and cue it up again.It was a really quick check too, right? VAR had to miss the other defender and only focused on the Spurs defender closest to Diaz.
…Well the Sky studio again shows Diaz looking way onside… WTF?
I am happy if an AR gets a close decision right or not. I will not be happy if the VAR show got that wrong.
It was clearly signalled as offside on the pitch - if they do try to blame something else, that will have been decided retroactively not at the time!It’s either a really poor VAR call or something has been seen in the build up (but I’ve no idea what)
Skys limited focus on it is a tad confusing……..
Clipped his ankle!Jota booking out of thin air!
