Som jeg læser Dale Johnson, burde VAR ikke have ændret på Taylors vurdering af frisparket på Fabinho.
“ If referees are officiating games to a higher threshold, allowing the game to flow more and not giving so-called soft free kicks, then the VAR should be trying to officiate that way too.
Referee Anthony Taylor saw the incident and, as he had done so in the rest of the game, decided there wasn´t enough in the challenge to warrant a free kick; he is seen to gesture at Fabinho to get up.
The VAR, Darren England, is effectively re-refereeing the game by intervening and making a judgement on an individual incident to a different standard. Once Taylor is sent to the monitor and shown the pull on the shirt, he has little option than to go with the advice of the VAR. Perhaps Taylor didn´t see the tug, but the fact remains that disallowing the goal for this went against the way the game was being officiated.”
Så når en dommer vælger, at der ikke skal dømmes så klare og tydelige frispark, som blev tilladt kampen igennem mod særligt Salah, så er det næsten som et lotteri, hvem der kan få mål i kampen.
Jeg er enig i, at der ikke skal dømmes tynde frispark, men det der blev accepteret igår var langt over grænsen synes jeg.
Edit: Målet ville dog være blevet annuleret på frisparket mod Alisson, som havde bolden under kontrol, da Haaland sparkede til den.
