Because the protocol specifically says that's not how it works.
Yes. Wasn't really my point. My point was that if, as people have said, once you look at it, it has to be a penalty then really it has to be sent for review as a serious missed incident.
Only the referee can change their decision.
If the VAR said have another look, serious missed incident. And then she she looks at it and sees something she didn't originally see AND as people have said above she probably has to give it on video then the referee is going to see that as clearly wrong.
I dont think the protocol is particularly clear, nor clear cut as you say, around what is and isn't reviewed.
It specifically says, as above:
The categories of decision/incident which may be reviewed in the event of a
potential ‘clear and obvious error’ or ‘
serious missed incident’ are:
......
• penalty kick offence not penalised
It repeatedly makes reference to serious missed incident as a separate entity as well as C&O/clearly wrong.
Like I say, if as stated above, once she sees the replay she has to give a penalty, then once a VAR sees the replay they have to send it for review.
If you say no foul has occurred, when in fact a certain foul has and its within the 4 checkable categories then it is going to be sent for a review.
