2-0 Salzburg....

[Guest]

I haven't seen a second of RB Salzburg this season, but in the past I have and they have a proper history of producing players and these days import them to Germany. Seeing how good Leipzig have become, its no surprise they are performing this well.

[RandoEFC 4,895]

Not again surely...

Heard really good things from Hwang Hee Chan and he's no bluff. He's been quality here.

Berisha has also been good.

[Stan 11,524]

Extra time as it's 2-0 to Salzburg at FT. 

[Stan 11,524]

GOAL MARSEILLE!!!! 

Corner given that should have been a goal-kick and Marseille score from it 

[El Profesor 1,089]

Rolando! 2-1 now.

[Stan 11,524]

Huge blunder from the officials. Gotta defend the corner though. Criminal not to have anyone on the posts!

[Stan 11,524]

Haidara sent off for a 2nd booking. 

From hero to zero for the youngster. 

[The Käiser 62]

Refs suck the hole. Can't believe this is allowed.  

Disgraceful

Disgusting 

but uefa loves France and Spain so why should I be surprised 

also small market Austria would not be uefa worthy for money gathering 

[The Käiser 62]

Red card doesn't matter either way as refs already ensured the final outcome 

 

[The Käiser 62]

Salzburg should tear into each marsielle player as they did not deserve the winning goal

why the players? how about the officials?

[The Käiser 62]

Are officials by goalline there to pick daisies??

 I'm tired of these wrong calls when something so obvious happens.  It happened with the Marcelo handball on Tuesday and now this

[The Käiser 62]

I wonder if that wrong call will be even mentioned in media...

[Guest]

Seeing people on Twitter mentioning VAR after this incident. Shocking given that VAR wouldn't be allowed to call corners. Getting boring hearing VAR at every turn just because someone makes a mistake, even if its still very likely if it was implemented.

Speaking of Marcelo handball, there was also a handball not called as a penalty for Marseille and an offside in the second Salzburg goal. I know two wrongs don´t make a right, my point is officiating was poor all night.

so you moan that VAR wouldn't be allowed to call corners (which would be a lot of times in each game and delay it even more)

Yet you're getting bored hearing about it at every turn? (not to mention that you're the first to mention it in this thread)

It's gonna be implemented - it's the way the game is going with advances in and capabilities of technology these days. So it's gone past the point of 'very likely' considering it's already in the game anyway...

I don't care about its implementation, I just want people to stop mentioning it at every turn. Marseille got a wrongly given corner, we get it but VAR wouldn't have called that anyways, so why call for it? Fucking tiring man.

[The Käiser 62]

I'm calling  for var lol

 

a ref doesn't need to be on the field anymore.  Just watch the game via tv and make the calls that way. We see replays pretty quick on tv

Besides, how is it the referee's fault that Salzburg conceded?

Sick of complaints about "human error" when in particular, a call for a corner can be easily rectified by clearing it out. Its not a penalty ffs.

I´m for the implementation of VAR, but I think Brian is right in this case. VAR wouldn´t be of help in that corner call.

VAR can only be used in 4 situations: goals, penalties, red cards and mistaken identity in awarding a card.

did you even see it?

The referee was right in front of the shot from a Marseille player that hit his own team-mate.

It was human error ffs.

I know. I get the point he was making. I get how VAR works.

I did see it, I want you to answer me this though: how was the goal the referee's fault? If it was a penalty I would give you the benefit of the doubt. It was a corner, something that takes concentration and focus to get out. It was their own fault they conceded, not the referee's.

I made the same point as you. But you can't deny the officials made a mistake (you might)?

Answer me this - if the referee gives the correct decision, is a goal scored?

I get the corner should be defended. But Salzburg wouldn't have had a corner to defend if the officials got the decision right.

I didn't see your post, but yeah ultimately Salzburg needs to defend it. Again, if it was a penalty or even a dangerous free kick, then you could make a very strong case that the referee gifted it, but not if it was a corner, regardless of it being a human error or not.

My point was all in all though that its getting boring seeing people on social media ask for VAR everytime a referee makes a decision they don't like. Saw it today for this corner, saw it a few weeks back when Juventus conceded that penalty against Madrid. 

You know well that I'm anti-VAR but I'm not actually complaining about the system. I'm complaining about the people who look for excuses just to implement it. I don't want it, but I have accepted it WILL be added to most leagues in the game by this point. There's no stopping it and there isn't much else for me to do other than suck it up.

I saw the high lights as I missed most the game. I saw a handball on Salzburgs 2nd. Thanks for pointing it out. Makes the loss more bearable 🙂
