Panel backs VAR call to cancel Everton penalty vs Man Utd

Did we expect anything else. Corrupt as F.

This is like asking the Police to investigate their own mistakes. The conclusion will never find fault with them or their officials.

They've admitted discriminating against the player fouled based presumably on past misdemeanours.

Clearly they're not familiar with the work of Mo Salah, Bruno and Son. If they were, there should be some retrospective reviews happening...

And just to show how wrong VAR was they've got it wrong again while making no mention of reaching a decision which means they think one of their own got it wrong in the first place, and all based not on the foul but the fall.

Its all rather simple. If that pull on shirt was done ANYWHERE else on the pitch, the player would have been booked for the pull.
Young exagrarated the fall clearly, but that doesn't expunge the offence. If anything Young could have been booked for trying to do so, but it was clearly an offence which occurred first.
Should we expect shirt pulls all over the pitch to be ignored now? I don't think so. How any panel or individual could argue that no offence had been committed is disgraceful.
If I can follow it up, at corners we see defenders impeding by holding, grabbing or pulling attackers and not being pulled up for it. Unless you are Everton of course, because if a goal is scored by the boys in blue, we have already seen that "impeding" a defender is not allowed, hypocrisy? Yet it is the biggest offence thats never penalised and defenders are getting away with it all the time. Yet if an attacker pushes them off or tries to untangle himself, he is adjudged to have fouled the defender.
Every time its done, give a penalty. It will soon stop.

Christine #4, that is not up to the referees. The league referee supervisors (it's everywhere, not just in the PL) provide the guidance that tells the refs what to call and what to ignore.

For anything to change, the PL and PGMOL would have to decide to change it. The PL would put out a memo to the clubs, probably over the summer, that holding in the box on set pieces will be called as it would be during open play. The coaches would change their tactics, the refs would get their instructions, there would probably be a burst of pens in the first few weeks, and then everybody would adjust.

And then maybe, just maybe, a corner would go back to being the true threat it is supposed to be, instead of a rugby scrum with a pathetic 3% goal success rate.

As far as I know, apart from Arsenal Vs Sheffield United in 1999...which technically not the Reffs fault, or was it?

Not many games get replayed because the Referee made a mistake.

Cue avalanche of examples.

That said; VAR is a total dog's breakfast.

Further more, it can be argued that the Premier League / PGMOL are in breach of FIFA rules, which state - gist...The Referee controls the game assisted by the Assistant Referees and the Video Assistant Referee(s).

Assistant! - the clue is in the name.

Not the VAR tail wagging the Referee dog.

Follow the money, who gets paid by who(m?)??

Andrew@2, your first paragraph explains everything imo, and it just shows you how good they have been because it shows that there wasn’t a single VAR mistake, in February.

The nameless person who questioned why VAR intervened calls it 100 correct imo, because it didn’t look like a clear and obvious error, which is not something you can say about the footage that was shown to the match official, when he was sent to watch the incident again on the television.

There’s been enough arguments about this incident and there will be a load more in the next few weeks over incidents that are yet to happen, because a lot of these VAR calls are very subjective (hence why there are so many arguments) and until these people are forced to explain why they reached certain decisions, then football simply won’t have consistent refereeing. (More subjectivity!)

Mike 5# Yes, its clear its not the referees decision but the advice given to them as you say telling them what to allow, thats the problem. The extent of the offences committed in the box are ridiculous, hilariously bad because they are ignored. I wonder if the attackers actually grabbed hold of the defenders in the same way would fouls be given? I would love to see that one, you can bet your life the advice would be in by 5pm the same day...

Var doesn’t work. Last nights game in Paris proved that once more.
