The FA CUP Third Round ** Spoilers ** [5th - 8th January 2018] + Replays

Ok, so we're not using VAR for what reason?

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Exactly. What's the point in having VAR if the referee can choose whether or not to use it depending on how dumb they are.

 

[Jokester]

Willian has made a pigs **** of going down there, can understand why the ref might book him.

 

[BaZ87]

This is bonkers, they should scrap VAR. So VAR was used for the Willian incident but didn't overturn it and now we've got Morata appealing with the TV gesture!

edit: so the argument was that the Willian decision wasn't a clear an obvious error. Hypothetically, if Willian had already been booked he'd have been sent off there. So they'll use VAR, see that the decision was wrong, if not a complete howler and Chelsea would not only not get the pen they should have but the attacker could still be sent off. Yea, I can't see this causing any controversy.

I'm looking forward to players playing charades trying to suggest to refs to use VAR

 

[robfosters]

Conte’s going to have a stroke in a minute.

 

[The_One]

Is mike dean on VAR duty tonight?

 

[BaZ87]

And now the ref's stopped the game for cramp? :/

Fair to say Chelsea fans aren't going to be impressed with this ref.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Stopping a game for cramp? Really? This ref is garbage.

[Jokester]

Just no need to have your hands on a player like that.

Morata is such a terrible diver, he constantly throws himself to the ground, like all game long every game. He didn't see to do this at Real that I remember, during his last period with Real they were so dominant though and he was scoring freely so maybe he didn't feel the need. Maybe as his form has gone and Chelsea have struggled scoring he's felt like diving is a good option so does it so much more?
