World Cup Discussion Thread - Day 3 (16 June)

[Gbspurs]

Can't say i'm convinced by that.

 

[hughy]

Initial thought was no penalty but I've watched that 20 times and still can't make my mind up. Fuck being a ref.

 

[kaz Hirai]

Looked a pen to me. Soft but I'd want that if it was spurs

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Great decision.

He gets fient touch on the ball, but then Griezmann takes a touch and the defender subsequently fouls him

 

[yankspurs]

Can't say i'm convinced by that.

I see nothing there. VAR continues to be a disaster area

 

[tobi]

VAR needs new camera angles.

 

[thinktank]

Regardless if right or wrong, that's the amount of time it should take.

 

[King of Otters]

Fucking hate VAR.

 

[theShiznit]

Good to see VAR is starting where it left off in the FA cup last season... (Ie shit)

 

[spursfan77]

Great pen that. He had to wait an age to take it.

I think it is a penalty because if the player doesn’t follow through on griezmann he doesn’t fall over and can make a shot at goal.

 

[Gb160]

He got the ball, farce imo.

 

[Phomesy]

VAR a joke. What a fucking disaster

 

[gilzeantheking]

I thought it was a pen on first look.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Shut up Lawrenson you t**t. Touching the ball doesn’t mean it can’t be a foul

 

[thinktank]

No keeper in the world saves that.

 

[Gb160]

Great pen that. He had to wait an age to take it.

I think it is a penalty because if the player doesn’t follow through on griezmann he doesn’t fall over and can make a shot at goal.

Its a contact sport mate.

 

[aliyid]

That’s such a hard call, certainly not clear enough for my liking but in a back to front way I like how they handled the VAR (play carried on and he got a call to review from the video team - minimal interruption)

 

[THFCSPURS19]

I think it was a pen but the problem is that even with VAR, some decisions are still subjective.

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

Terrible decision, nowhere near clear enough to bring it back

 

[hughy]

Great decision.

He gets fient touch on the ball, but then Griezmann takes a touch and the defender subsequently fouls him

Don't 100% agree with this, but I can see your point. I'm not sure the defender can avoid the "subsequent foul" as he's already committed to the initial successful tackle.

You might be right, but it's fucking harsh if that's the case.
