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.
Maybe we should get rid of referees entirely. Just have a virtual ref, whose whistle is blown via a noise in the ground?
I think the argument is, you need to just let the referee, referee the game.
Yeah you didn’t get a man sent off from an off the ball incident, not the end of the world. These things happen in football.
