Var

[greenlex]

Chelsea v Norwich. Tonight. Ref books Willian for diving. There was contact and it could have been a pen. VAR reckoned it wasn’t a clear mistake by the ref (ie it’s the refs interpretation of the incident) so no pen. The booking was harsh I thought.

Ps they’re into extra time after a well deserved 94th minute equaliser from. Norwich.
Angus Gunn is having a very good game tonight. A chip of the old block?

I thought it was a penalty first time I saw it and wasn’t sure if they had been to VAR or not - by not telling everyone they’re checking it seems a bit confusing for everyone.

I thought it was one of those where there is contact but it's not a foul. Could have been given though and the yellow was a bit harsh.

Unlike Pedro's yellow earlier in the match which was fully deserved. Cheating *******.

I don’t think the VAR gets involved unless it’s a clear cock up or if the ref asks for help. I think the ref thought his decision was correct and didn’t need help. It wasn’t 100% a clear pen so var wouldn’t intervene. I think they thought he was going down before the.contact.

On the ball City

I'm not sure how much more blatant it could have been to be honest.

Quite incredible that we can have video evidence in place and a player still gets booked for diving when he should have had a penalty.

I know the technology and the implementation of it is still in the early days but hopefully this kind of thing can be ironed out.

[Mr White]

Haha cheerio Pedro.

That’s the thing tho. Yes there was contact but was it a foul? I think he was already stumbling down and the contact didn’t initiate it. In that case it’s not a clear mistake from the ref and it’s definitely down to interpretation of the incident. In that case the ref gets the final say (as it should be). I actually think the ref has had a decent game other than the yellow for that incident.
He’s sent Pedro off so it’s even better from him.

The night would be topped off with both Hazard and sideshow bob missing pens.

[Mr White]

Another yellow for simulation and subsequent red... Morata

[The Spaceman]

Morata now off! This is priceless they have the technology but aren't using it!

Come on Norwich.

I think he's got it spot on without video assistance. "Entitled to go down" is a truly horrible phrase. Chucking yourself to the ground under little or no contact should be punished so well done to tonight's ref.

Until refs start giving free kicks and penalties for fouls when a player does stay on his feet it will keep happening.

Anyway it's good to see this VAR put an end to refereeing controversy.

they might’ve used it and decided it was a dive.

It’ll be interesting to see what they say they never gave the penalty for.

Mon the boys. Gunn to save three in a row.

I personally thought it was a blatant foul and penalty. One thing he absolutely didn't do was dive but I know VAR can't be used for yellow cards.

I still can't understand how a penalty wasn't given.

Re the Morata incident, I don't think he dived either but I think a penalty would have been soft.

[Pretty Boy]

Some save by Caballero

[Danderhall Hibs]

Did Linekar not say it was the ABBA penalty system?

Looked pretty bad from the far side angle IMO.

[Pretty Boy]

Chelseas penalties have all been top notch so far.

If everyone fell down the way footballers do at the slightest touch Princes Street would be littered with bodies.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Some cracking penalties. Even the one that was saved was a decent strike.

He did but he’s a jug eared fool.
