GWT: PL Matchweek Catch-Up into (mostly) MW18 & MW19

[hatterson]

Maguire extended his arm through the defender. That's why the call is made, whether you agree with it or not.

His arm was never more than 6 inches from his body.

 

[Jussi]

If that was Harry Kane instead of Maguire, it would have counted.

 

[bluesfan94]

You can only go back if it's a red card offense. Which means either Shaw should be off or we should've gotten the free kick off the counter.

Yeah, I was confused about that, but I don't think it's wrong. You can go back on a goal if there's a foul earlier. That's essentially what you're checking if you're looking at DOGSO

 

[Gecklund]

Is Kevin Friend the one that Nuno told he hopes he never sees again because he’s an awful ref? If so I agree.

 

[bluesfan94]

I mean, sure, you're counting it connecting to his shoulder. His left arm extends pretty obviously

 

[hatterson]

Because the challenge was deemed to be a straight red (I assume), you can look back for fouls in the buildup.

The thing I didn't think you could do is award a yellow for a foul in the buildup.

 

[Halladay]

VAR made another bad calling, so shocking.

What is the call?

Seems Kevin Friend is no one's friend.

You cannot. They are just making shit up. That should be a yellow on Wood now for kicking the ball after the whistle. Twice.

Even if he got it "right" on VAR, the fact that he thought the tackle was only a yellow live is hilariously awful. If it's a foul, it's a clear as day dogso red so either you think he got the ball or you think it's a red. A yellow is completely indefensible.

I guess it's because it was a "potential red".

 

[hatterson]

I guess it's because it was a "potential red".

Right, but even then VAR is only supposed to award yellows in the situations that a referee awards a red and then it's lowered.

 

[bluesfan94]

Ah those saves are so much fun to make

 

[bluesfan94]

Right, but even then VAR is only supposed to award yellows in the situations that a referee awards a red and then it's lowered.

Just spitballing here....was the yellow for the foul itself or could Shaw have said something after the decision?

Foul itself.

 

[Aladyyn]

Shaw has been fantastic in recent weeks

 

[hatterson]

A VAR stoppage takes literally five and a half minutes so Friend adds on four minutes of stoppage time. A+ job there.

 

[Halladay]

What is the call?

The one they are discussing involved discussing Shaw. Shaw had a rough tackle (potential red card worthy), then United counters and Cavani is fouled. They go to VAR and Shaw gets a yellow for his tackle. It took about 6 minutes too.

Friend is putting on a reffing clinic. Just a clinic on how not to ref.

 

[bluesfan94]

Foul itself.

Yeah then I have no idea.

 

[Gecklund]

Yeah then I have no idea.

It’s just a god damn clown show from this asshole. There should have been nothing on Shaw. He got the ball. It wasn’t a red card EVER. You can check if it was on the monitor, but if it’s not a red then it’s nothing. You can’t change that. The one of Cavani should have been a clear red. The Maguire goal should not have been ruled out unless we are now penalizing players for someone backing up into them and them being stronger. United should be up 1-0 and up a man.

Potential red card worthy? What?

 

[Jersey Fresh]

I don't really care how they got there, for me, that's a foul on Shaw. Okay he got a bit of the ball, but he went shin high with his studs on the follow through.

That's a foul 10 times out of 10.

The Maguire goal should have stood, though.

I mean, it was a clear foul. It wasn't a red ever, but it's definitely a foul. Getting the ball doesn't absolve you. And the one on Cavani should be a red, but in looking at a red, VAR is allowed to look to see if there's a foul in the buildup. And there was. It shouldn't have been a yellow.

We're going to disagree on Maguire, but I think you can't push someone in the back and expect not to get called. He clearly extends his left arm
