It was a clear and obvious error and VAR should have shown it to the ref to make his own mind on it.
I still don’t understand this whole clear and obvious error requirement. If the ref misses something, then VAR should intervene and inform the referee to relook at the incident. If he deems his original decision correct, then we move on.
The fact that it’s an error but VAR doesn’t see it as clear and obvious and opts not to direct the ref to the monitor is so weird.
VAR worked perfectly well in the Bundesliga. Just like you said. Then suddenly this new requirement comes from PL which is absolutely dumb.
The only explanation for me is match fixing.
Was with you in the first half, completely lost me in the second.
I'd be shocked if this was match fixing. I think the most likely outcome is the old "don't attribute to Malice what can be explained via incompetency". The UK VAR team have come in with grand plans to improve the system, and they just don't work.
