Crystal Palace vs Brighton (VAR: John Brooks)
« on: Sat 11 Feb 2023 23:30 »
Absolute howler from John Brooks, who is down to be VAR on both the Merseyside Derby and the top of the table clash in the coming days. Dear dear, he should be removed. The Premier League have admitted he drew the line to the wrong player. Wonder if this goes down as a KMI against Stuart Burt?

Missing a player when choosing the line to draw the player to. Really bad.

Surely a FIFA assistant in Lee Betts should be able to correct him?

Surely even the Hawkeye replay operator could have told him?


Alexis mcallister also extremely lucky to avoid a RC

Maybe the operator who does the technical side of things made an error, which can happen, but it simply has to be picked up by 2 qualified officials. Webb must be wondering what he’s walked into

I agree Brooks should be removed from his upcoming appointments, presuming he is responsible for this error. There has to be accountability.

Lee Mason has also made far too many mistakes as a VAR this season. And it seems Neil Swarbrick too in recent weeks.

Webb can't just keep appointing the same VARs to games when big mistakes are made as if nothing has happened.

McAllister I think lucky to get away with not being sent off. Oliver caught the tail end of the incident. Had an OFR been called and Oliver changed to red he couldn’t have argued

Once again we are blaming one person in var, however there are quite a few people involved on the game in var. People go on if the var decision takes a long time to review and then complain if they make a quick but wrong call.
I think the assistant var and the technical operator might well be to blame here, admittedly the ref on var might have the final say but i am sure like on field a referee would take an assistants word on an offside unless its a subjective decision.
