I thought you would bring that one up.But the point is that they have VAR. And they are refereeing to having VAR. Nothing has been re-refereed.
Criticism stems from lack of understanding from what occurred. Lack of understanding of how to use VAR properly, and lack of understanding of its remit and limitations
He's backdated a decision 7 seconds, its less time than the Lawrence foul for 2-2 the other week and somehow it's less understandable and more contentious....
Incredible
Theres more than a time gap between the two incidents so why compare the two?
Beaton was happy to award the goal then VAR intervened and asked him to review the goal which he subsequently disallowed.
Robertson could have awarded a penalty but didn't to allow the attack to progress.
Why do that if he saw a blatant foul ( in his eyes) from the outset?
He shouldn't be refereeing a game thinking VAR will eventually get to a decision.
' That was a foul ' but I'll not stop the game because if anything happens I can pull the play back because I can or VAR will be my friend should anything seriously game changing
occurs
Or
' Not a foul' but I've now got the power to backtrack in a couple of ways if anything goes to shit.
