Chris Kavanagh - Fulham v Newcastle
« on: Sun 23 May 2021 18:05 »
Two questions about two incidents that had absolutely no bearing on the match/final score

1) How on earth does VAR not ask Kavanagh to overturn the penalty and issue a YC for simulation by the Newcastle player? He clearly pulled his legs up and threw himself to the floor
2) Why only 1 minute of additional time, where there'd been 6 substitutions and some injuries.  Fulham wouldn't have scored had they played an additional hour, but where's the consistency?

Kavanagh has gone off the boil the last few games.... wasn’t particularly impressed this afternoon either.

But now we focus on the dross in SG2 again for next season....

I would rather have the dross than VAR though.

The thing with VAR for me is that it’s wholly subjective, so it’s not an infallible system.
I really feel for the referees as they are totally at the mercy of the VAR.
I feel like Chris has performed very well over the season, but has been let down a lot by his VARs this season.
David Silva olé.

What did you think was terrible about the officiating at the last WC?

I too would be interested to know. I thought aside from the issue of referees at least appearing to be encouraged not to deal strictly with dissent and something of a relaxed line in terms of careless/reckless, VAR operated quite well and there were some very fine performances.

Two examples which I hope might show why people might disagree with this statement -

West Ham v Chelsea red card for balbuena goes over to screen and changes his decision to red card (later overturned).
Merseyside Derby- goes over to screen to check penalty sticks with his decision. It’s that inconsistency
