VAR-Ashley Young

Does anyone know what happened to the Ashley Young handball? I think Oliver went to VAR so why was no pen given? obvious move of his hand to the ball?

Also chucked in a couple dives. I can see why Jones was not sent off, correct decision for me, but I don't think young even got a yellow card on Saturday which is baffling. Definite Handball agreed on by chelsea AND utd fans which is weird so not sure how Oliver got to the decision of no penalty?

Apparently they didn't go to VAR in the end. Hence the original question in the article selbstger
----------------------------------------------------------------------

They didn't? Who was the ref talking to for 30 seconds then?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Exactly, it's weird, the articles on a quick google search are stating he didn't go to VAR.

He was about 2ft from the ball, how was he supposed to move his hand away?

Jones should've been sent off though.

Nickasaurus I can't believe this is even a debate.

IMO I thought it wasn't a big deal because it's a stonewall penalty and that was settled.

No Love

Indeed, the debate is not about the decision as it was so clear cut. The debate is why Oliver went to his ear piece and then according to sources did not actually use VAR.

Now we need guidelines for using VAR and when not to use it, accompanied by an explanation made over the public sound system????

Maybe managers could have ability to request the referee for ONE VAR review per half if desired. I believe that Baseball and Football in USA permits coaches on sidelines to become involved?

Technology is well-intentioned, implementation is being managed by human beings who are not perfect.

maybe the rule has changed but im sure the rule on tackling from behind is still the same as always- red card every time. Youngs arm was outstretched and even he thought it was a penalty, ref bottled it again.

Moses intentionally hit the ball at Young's arm and the rules state that if there's intent, it has to be a penalty.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Moses was probably trying to shoot lol

Moses was aiming for yet another cross that goes to one of our players.

Perhaps teams get to ask for it via appeals? That's open to abuse/loopholes though

I thought it was a fine volleyball shot myself Nick!

Brum. It does beggar belief how some people don't see the obvious intent from young. But c'est la vie. They need to improve and streamline it like in rugby and cricket.
