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.
You are completely wrong. If your approach was adopted you’d have extraordinary amounts of VAR stoppages way above what we already have now. Imagine every VAR review the ref has to go to the screen and deliberate after the time VAR has taken to decide he’s missed it and get the footage and explanation ready.
You’re describing an approach that kills football as a sport.
I think we’d be better with a review system, honestly. Give teams a chance to challenge decisions whenever they like (limited to a number of incorrect challenges) and have no VAR pro activity at all.
