Denayer in the corner and VAR

[Coopertrueblue]

VAR looks at clear and obvious errors.

Denayer clearly dived, why is that not reviewed and a free kick and booking given?

 

[SuperAlly1990]

Because if they reviewed that they would be reviewing every single foul in a game.

Imagine VAR looked at every foul.

A game would take 6 hours.

 

[104Bear]

It’s not a game changing moment, that’s the only reason I can think of how he got away with it. Right in front of the linesman as well.

We'd still be playing the 1st half if they reviewed every little thing

 

[Thomas Vallance]

Needs to be ‘game changing’ decision

The asst ref with the flag shouldn’t have needed a replay.

 

[DavieCooper on the wing]

He was even laughing when he went down.

Wasn't a foul though

It's not a foul lol.

 

[Boab4]

Well it was. They got a free kick didn't they.

 

[Davieblue1977]

Cheat

 

[Rangersnumberfour]

Would have been better VAR being used for the elbow on Balogan!

 

[WDYGH]

Sorry but is VAR being used in the groups this season? Wasn’t previously.

 

[yermawsyerda]

Clever

Blatant dive but other than that, he was solid it pains me to say

Was right in front of me. And the linesman. Didn't need var.

 

[aayjay]

I hope the linesman is seriously embarrassed if/when he sees that back again. Doesn't help us though.

 

[insanicdrunk]

He cheated, it should have been reviewed.

 

[Aaritalo]

He's a diving bastard but don't want to go down that road with Var for me. Dislike the thing enough as it is.

 

[Giffnock bear]

Why wasn't var used when Balogan was elbowed in the box our manager was screaming for a pen.

 

[Glasgow Rangers (Sco)]

Thought he was man of the match tonight

 

[Der Berliner]

Lundstram was shoved off the ball in the first half in the area ... which might have been harsh, but we have seen them given. Balogun was clearly elbowed in the face in the second half and got to the ball first too. But hey, why would the VAR guy be any better than the ref, who made Willie Collum look like a top grade international referee with his decisions in the 2nd half, buying any shit from the French.

 

[Barba Roja]

The officials gave us nothing tonight, Boateng on a yellow wiped out Kent (I think) and should have had a second yellow

He then gets taken off minutes later, where is the justice?

 

[devilman]

They can't allow blatant and obvious diving like that go. That was a shocker. Wright was nowhere near him and he threw himself to the ground. He should have been booked at the very least.

Just google what var is used for,
that doesn’t come into it

Shouldn’t need VAR when the official is five yards away and has an absolutely unrestricted view.

 

[Professor Yaffle]

The officials were utter shite tonight

 

[Swordfish1872]

There's a difference between reviewing potential fouls and blatant cheating. It was horrific, and that linesman must have shat himself when the crowd erupted.

 

[RangersLad1983]

Because if they reviewed that they would be reviewing every single foul in a game.

Yep if they reviewed every single Dive they carried out tonight the game would still be on now, I have watched euro games for years but tonight's level of diving by them was a new low which only happened because they had the ref sussed early on, roll over a few times and punch the ground as if your leg is broken and boy did it work.

 

[RWB92]

VAR doesn’t look at bookings, even second bookings. It only looks at red cards, offsides or off the ball incidents

 

[Stuart pid]

VAR looks at clear and obvious errors.

Hopefully he'll get a retrospective yellow but I doubt it. Also the Balugan elbow and Kent being tripped should've been reviewed. The 4th official or even a 5th can be watching that whilst play carries on. For most instances where VAR is used play is already stopped so doesn't affect the game much.

 

[dt17]

Linesman needs a slap for that decision. Absolute howler and it was right in front of him.

 

[Burnbrae]

If VAR looked at every incident, the game would last three days.

 

[Portals_Bear_Blue]

VAR is used for game changing moments…red cards, penalties etc

should also be used for cheating such as blatant diving

 

[Partickger]

Shouldn’t need VAR for such a blatant dive when the linesman is 5 yards away.

 

[John MacKenzie]

Should have been used for what should have been a penalty for us first half.

 

[Grigo Yossarian]

The officials gave us nothing tonight, Boateng on a yellow wiped out Kent (I think) and should have had a second yellow

He then gets taken off minutes later, where is the justice?

I agree, a clear professional foul by him. Again.

Their manager was probably protecting him after him escaping that.

 

[Tailwind]

“Oh my god I can’t believe people don’t know who Jason Denayer is”!
Well, we all f’n know now.

Is it only me that sees Wrights left boot clipping Denayers left calf, a bit theatrical from Denayer, but the linesman got it right in my opinion.
Although without the slow motion replay I would have but my life on it that there wasn't any contact.

 

[ChildOfGoth]

Think it is Aye

 

[David Edgar]

The ref tonight was awful. Some of the fouls he bought from Lyon were embarrassing.

I felt in the 2H it was political tonight . Just didn’t feel right .

 

[ChildOfGoth]

That Denayer foul was off the ball there was an obvious gap between him and the nearest player .

I’d like to see that and the balogun incidents again

Yes it’s just you. He’s a good centre half who knew he was on a hiding to nothing so dived and did a big girly scream as he went down to sell it.

 

[Necorneragain]

Do you think we are getting refereed differently because of brexit? Never thought of that before - %^*& sake.

 

[Boab4]

That doesn't make it a foul you fucking idiot. There's absolutely no chance you are one of us.

I'm not one of us because they got a free kick?

Aye that makes sense

On your own there, how many times did you rewind that back and forth to see something that never happened?

 

[YorkshireBlue]

Not VAR, just need a linesman watching the game properly and not buying blatant dives.

Alfie did a similar tackle to the Lundstram one in the centre circle and was penalised for it. I thought the officials tonight were some of the worst we've had in Europe. It's hard enough beating Lyon without having to contend with their cheating as well.
