Nigeria vs South Africa

[Rowls]

1-1 currently 112th minute.

Referee has failed to give a stonewall foul because the player tried to play on.

A perfect example of bad refereeing failing to give decisions to players who play according to the spirit of the law.

[Rowls]

Ref has just been sent to see the footage on the VAR screen

[Rowls]

The footage doesn't show clearly if the foul (which is indisputable) occurs inside or outside the box.

But if it's outside, he can't reverse the original incorrect decision.

[Tricky Trevor]

Best VAR decision ever. Clear pen not given Nigeria break and score at the other end. VAR tells ref about the pen. The ref corrects after review. 0-2 becomes 1-1.

[Rowls]

Ahhhh, because it's a red card offence he can actually alter the decision.

Think it was a penalty though. He tripped him outside the box but followed through on him inside the box so that decision isn't easy in mitigation for the referee.

Well, this game hasn't been short of incident.

Looked like a pen to me.

I'm sure he made the decision to bring him down outside, but it actually happened inside.

[Rowls]

Just seen the other thread on the exact same subject.

*facepalm*

Sorry mods. Please forgive me.
