birch-chorley Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Been great up until tonight Ref was out of his depth with all the cunts giving him the run around, he ended up completely losing the plot with it all How he blew for full time as well, was barely into 6 minutes, they should still be playing now with all that VAR The players fucked that game up, the ref wasn’t good enough to control them or the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marple whites Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 The ref last night was totally out of his depth - and ruined the game. 1st penalty - Ronaldo - really close to it, either penalty or booked for diving - gave nothing 2nd penalty - really close to it, never handball - didn't give it initially Conduct in general - he was getting shoved, players in his face etc - should have been multiple yellow and red cards He was complained about, after the first game he did - send him home, never to referee at that level again.

L/H White Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 does anyone think Ronaldo should have been sent off? I think it would have been very very harsh imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marple whites Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 does anyone think Ronaldo should have been sent off? I think it would have been very very harsh imo Not for me - bit of intent to get their player back and perhaps fortunate he didn't really connect. But he was getting dogs abuse from most of their team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madthatter Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 (edited) does anyone think Ronaldo should have been sent off? I think it would have been very very harsh imo No but given what constitutes a sending off these days he probably should have gone. I'd say it was deliberate and worse than Beckham's fanny tap against the Argies . . . Edited June 26, 2018 by madthatter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiggyStardust Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 We needed VAR because at times the referees and assistants were often poor, inconsistant, and prone to influence. We put VAR in the hands of the same people, and are somehow surprised that we are still seeing poor, inconsistant & potentialy influenced decisions. Scrap it after the group games, keep GLT and re-think VAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrap it after the group games, keep GLT and re-think VAR. This with massive bells on I'm not 100% sure how it should be working but I always liked the idea of only a captain being able to challenge decisions (say 3 a half) and then have them referred, a bit like tennis. I think VAR is showing that football is played and ref'd by humans and we make mistakes and have differing opinions - even with 5 different camera angles Edited June 27, 2018 by madthatter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if he's lying on the floor after doing a triple salchow with toe loop following an innocuous challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I beg to differ that its been a success, it has corrected some wrongs, overrulled some rights and added uncertainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
