France VAR penalty

What's the consensus on that penalty.

The aussie defender got his toe to the ball which knocked it against the attackers foot. The attacker after that was never going to get the ball but the defenders follow through swiped his legs away.

For me it was never a penalty. It wasnt from behind it was from the side. He got the ball first and the force of the challenge was not too great to make it reckless or dangerous.

The annoying thing for me was 1. it seemed like the wrong decision and 2. they didnt consult VAR until the ball was out of play which was quite some time after the incident. Really do not like VAR.

just saying its a bit difficult to win the ball from a oppo player and win it in a way to not bring them down when your sliding,
=-======
The key here is that the defender didn't win the ball. The oppo player still collected the pass.

You said "there's no such thing it being clear to var"
Of course there is. The VAR is the person who tells the ref to review his decision. Why would he do that if he wasn't clear?
------------
the "var" tell him to look at it as it "may" be incorrect, the ref makes the decision, again he tells the person to review it as it might be a error not that there definitely is is

I don't need to read up on it, I am very clear on it.

The VAR was clear and let the ref know he should review it.

You should read up on it, because it is clear from your earlier comment you don't understand it.

I got there a long time ago. Explain how the defender won the ball from the opponent, even the opponent got the ball after the defenders slight touch.

are you seriously implying every decision referred by var is clear? because that's what that sentence is implying, if every decision stopped by var is clear then I guess we wont see anything not overturned then?


anyway good debating I've got be off now, roll on the eng game

Great tackle, even though it didn't intercept the pass or stop the attacker getting the ball.

Oh, you are a Liverpool fan - yeah, was great comparatively speaking...

Not a pen for me, the defender did enough to achieve what you set out to achieve when slide tackling. He won the ball first which forced a miscontrol by the opposition which went to safety of the keepers hands no chance of him getting there before the keeper. You can't punish him for a follow through milliseconds after winning the ball and in mid slide simple as that for me.
