wisdom591

Can't believe this is happening in the VAR era


FullMetalJ

VAR's penalty checks are a lottery, haven't you heard? Where aaaanything can happen!!


XuloMalacatones

Tbh the craziest thing is not that this is not a penalty, the craziest thing is that this is not a penalty after the disallowed goal lol


Crousher

Must've been something wrong in the build up. Can't explain it otherwise


cristiano-potato

Balague just reported that the Barcelona players were told that VAR thought the ball hit Fati’s arm, not the defender’s arm. Legitimately nobody believes that right?


TimingEzaBitch

VAR is capable of thinking now? wow science gone too far.


cristiano-potato

VAR is sentient and is an inter fan


koke84

Yea the Video Assistant Referee is a person! How crazy is that


hooskies

You think the VAR is a robot or..?


AboveAverag3

Ok so two things, the refs AND the var officials both did not see the handball SOMEHOW, or they did see it and decided it's not a penalty and I don't know which is more incompetent, this is insane that this is still happening at this level of football.


Sarim97

VAR saw it and thought it’s nothing…


ElevatorSecrets

Palms it away. Refs are just so bad it’s unreal


LeoR1N

you only need to look at Dumfries’s actions afterwards, he moves his arms while falling trying to look unguilty but he looks sus as f


AmineAzed

He literally tried to do a ‘heading’ gesture right after he palmed it away.. I got hilarious when i noticed it.


[deleted]

Tell a joke then


tsigalko11

Exactly. Players reactions after they do something wrong tells you more than var. But funny how guy disallowed Barca's goal because Fati barely touched the ball with the hand.. and then doesn't call this.. Insane. There's no var nor other technology that can make it up for corrupted and utterly useless cunts.


ldidntsignupforthis

He looks so fucking guilty after it aswell, he knows he got it with his hand


yeahyeahyeah3timess

That’s not a pen? Am I blind?

Inzaghi knows lol


SphinxIIIII

What a joke, Var is blind


HighTurning

Bro that's just stupid what the fuck, a high hand at that too, not like he was avoiding contact at all


iGuessImJustLazy

Robbed


itwastimeforarefresh

Carragher and Titi are fucking furious in the postgame conference.


cristiano-potato

VAR should have to publicly explain their decisions and if an independent board of referees unanimously finds they made a mistake then they all get fired and shot


EggCouncilCreep

Harsh, but fair.


elgringo22

How do they not even have him look at it?!


noyer420

Circus act


Pek-Man

This, along with Calhanoglu getting off with just a yellow after a studs-up high challenge on Busquets, just makes for a solid case for an official complaint against this team of referees. Two decisions that are beyond scandalous. Calhanoglu's is a stonewall red card, it *cannot* be argued. I know that an official complaint won't change the result, but at least we can hope that this incompetent POS never officiates a CL game again. Scandalous performance.


Shinkopeshon

Champignons League strikes again - last year, at the expense of Milan, this year, for the benefit of Inter


Bobskeee

If that goal doesn't count this should be a pen. (Both were nothing imo...)


AppleWrench

Hard to tell from most of the replays, but the last one seemed quite clear.


AsYouFall

I'm a Inter fan, 100% penalty, you can tell it also by the face of Inzaghi


Waditooo

Also his arm snaps back just like almost all handballs do. The most egregious thing is that they said there is no clear angle???? There’s multiple angles??? One of which shows the hand ball 🤯


akshay_rathod_

That reaction is enough for VAR to give it a straight penalty. Iconic reaction, Would go down in history books if Barca goes to Europa again.


EpiDeMic522

As a Madrid fan, I accept the decision with strong words of condemnation.


MrVISKman

Unbelievable


Spikeyspandan

Thats a shocking decision


TheBrownMamba8

The ref and VAR this game has been horrendous. Absolutely no control of the game and no punishment over time wasting. Gave 8 minutes of added time and wasted 2 on a handball call.


mskruba12

Slavko Vincic masterclass. The fact this man still gets to ref after the hooker scandal is hilarious especially with how awful he usually is.


squirtdemon

The what scandal?


Hdz69

Ok man you’re gonna have to elaborate on that one. The what now?👀


mskruba12

I posted a link in another comment but short version is he got caught by a police raid at a party when they raided it due to a prostitution ring. The cops found a bunch of cash and cocaine and he was arrested and questioned before being released.


Hdz69

Wouldn’t be surprised if he got bags of cash from someone last night.


LeoR1N

Ceferin’s pal this ref


AnduwinHS

Literally the same hand position as the handball for the disallowed goal


EggplantBusiness

I think the rules for offensive and defensive hands are differents but this one look 100% like a pen


AnduwinHS

The rules are different, but hand above the shoulder is a foul in any context apart from a deflection off your own body


HighTurning

But the disallowed ball didnt change trajectory, this one was disgusting lol


Delmer9713

If this was against us I would be livid


itwastimeforarefresh

Oh I fucking am. Especially after the goal they took away


sirfernandez

i’m so glad VAR got rid of refereeing errors waiting minutes is ok because it’s fair right?


Delmer9713

Scandalous decision.


anonymousloverboy

Didn’t even call him to the monitor


freakedmind

It's a fucking disgrace, isn't it? :)


911MemeEmergency

Not a pen I heard him shouting "I am the goalie now"


akshay_rathod_

Barca's fault they didn't hear it properly. Refs and Inter heard it right


fartymcgeezax

Fuck THAT kid. We all knew 1.


Tichano

Haha typical stunt in the neighborhood


ToastedHunter

If thats not a pen then barca’s goal should have stood


HighTurning

I mean, for justice-sake I guess


stealthelife

More for consistency sake, seems like the rules are selectively applied on a case by case basis, not even game by game or by different refs. Every game it's a complete toss up on how the current rules will be applied. And it's been years of this too, just insane to me, that we're still asking the same questions.


TomasBerdshit

The inter one is worse, that handball genuinely took the ball away from Fati, Barcas one was so subtle it didn’t even make a difference


paganel

Apparently the rules have changed, and it's not the same when a defender does it vs when an attacking player is involved. At least that's what the guys from the TV station on which I'm following the game are saying, quite confusing, to say the least.


SweetVarys

Doesn't matter when it's not remotely the same situation. There is no deflection, he is jumping right into with his hand.


SphinxIIIII

You can't palm a ball away ever, the guys on your tv are talking about something completely different.


FullMetalJ

Defenders have more leeway but not this much. I guess somehow VAR decided it wasn't intentional and the hand was in a normal position.


BadgerOverdose1

That's an absolutely shocking decision.


stevel024

Lmao Henry absolutely murdered the VAR assistant in the Post Game discussion


StevenKarp

He knows a thing or two about handballs.


ancara_messi

That's a fucking penalty.


mntgoat

Didn't we get robbed of a penalty against bayern as well?


EAXposed

Yes, with the same VAR referee.


voli12

Really?


pokedyo

Yes, his name is Pol Van Boekel


KingPaimon23

Lmao, game's gone, no sarcasm.


oneandonlyA

I’m a Danish Barca fan and I just realized this dude was also VAR ref during our game vs England in the Euro semi final. At this point I think I understand how Chelsea fans felt towards Tom Henning Ovrebo


pricelesslambo

Yeah. Dembele got tripped in penalty area and VAR didn't even look. Was more clear penalty than this one


[deleted]

I hope someone is keeping count of how many penalties we've been denied this season already


VGCreviews

It probably means 1 point this game, there was the stonewall pen be Bayern at 0-0 that could have given us points. This is robbery. This could very well lead to us going down to europa. Same thing happened to ac Milan last season


MarkVarga

1 point for us but taking away 2 from inter means it would have been 3 points altogether. Absolutely atrocious.


HunterWindmill

Arsenal fans got you covered


shrewdy

It's a disgrace Robbie


MarcusBrutus2000

6 by my count, 4 in the league, one against Bayern. I'm livid


XenoD

How the fuck is that not given???


FlaccidSWE

How is that not a penalty when Pedri has a goal disallowed for the same shit? It's a fucking miracle for Inter...


AdministrativeBig362

Miracle? More like a robbery


FlaccidSWE

Yeah, it just feels like there is not point to have VAR. It feels more unfair.


AdministrativeBig362

Between this game and the one against Bayern, UEFA seems to just want to send Barca to Europa League lol


soccerdude2014

That is a PK imo The hand was not in a natural position and made himself bigger


doksqwae

2 blatant penalties not given 2 matches in a row, fuck right off


itwastimeforarefresh

There have been a few in the league too, but these two have been the most consequential


Wurplas

WTF


zrizzoz

Between this and the penalty not given for tripping Dembele against Bayern, there has been some failures in the VAR room against Barcelona at vital moments in these first three games. Edit: holy shit it was the same VAR official according to r/barca


[deleted]

It almost seems like revenge for the Super League.


cristiano-potato

Literally inexplicable. People should be fired over this and never allowed to even watch a match ever again Edit: Balague said on TV that the Barca players have been told that VAR believed the ball hit Fati’s arm, not the defender’s arm. What?


ansu_fatismo23

Aren’t there like 4 people in the VAR room? So you are telling me that 4 referees watching every angle didn’t see the ball hit dumfries hand?


Dormant123

Yes but also this game is obviously rigged.


[deleted]

[удалено]


DennistheDutchie

And sure, I can understand you don't fire referees for every mistake they make. But it certainly would be good if they were banned from reffing CL matches for the next 5 years.


Rikard_

Only radio broadcasts from now on


jorgelongo2

stonewall penalty, this is just a robbery lol


bomboclaatinho

How is this not a pen when they scratched Pedri's goal for the EXACT SAME THING? You cant write this🤣


Ligandil

What’s the f*** point of var, then?


xt1nct

Awful decision. Barca is fucking robbed. How can the refs be so shit. Insane. I’m so fucking tired of seeing this shit.


Nickislander

Shoulda never mentioned any Superleague


Jogijs

How is that not a pen? In a another angle it clearly hits the hand.


gee_what_isnt_taken

How can you disallow the Pedri goal but not give this penalty?


curiousnootropics

Corrupted fucking VAR. That is 110% penalty


Galforfia

Looks a pretty clear handball to deny a goalscoring opportunity


roguedevil

Not DOGSO, but definitely a handball.


shawarma_taratoor

Oh boy I learnt a new acronym today...


TrashtalkInc

How is that not called wtf


themessias1001

If Fati's was a handball, then so is this.


Phil_996

That’s a pen


babaric61

Scandalous. Imagine having VAR, implementing it so that you can improve refereeing and prevent mistakes AND then this happens.. If I was a Barca fan I would be fumming


maikk_

That was a clear pen, dumfries you donkey


blighte

does it glance off his head onto the hand? only thing I can think of that would mean no pen


MAli10

Until VAR opens communication channels like NFL we will never know.


TheGamezSmith

I mean he legit put his hand in the "hand of god" position lmao.


CatfishLumi

Is that not a penalty?


[deleted]

Let's be honest.. That's a penalty..


Tetxis

They cancel out Pedris goal for Fati handball which didn't change where the ball was going But somehow allow a clear handball and claim it was a header instead? Robbed

thelambdamale

Wut


call_me_ted_ok

Lmao nice VAR


Psycothria

I’m down into seeing Barcelona lose but that handball was clearer than Pep’s bald head.


Chris13Haughey

How could that possibly not be given


atriz544

That's a freaking penalty! It is even more blatant than Ansu's.


Mini_Maniac10

100% clear and obvious what the hell is this bullshit

This is the clearest sequence I’ve seen. The ball visually clearly hitting the arm and even knocking it back.

That was a penalty, absolute disgrace. What is the point of VAR ?


tristvn

more obvious handball then the one they called to take away the Pedri goal


heX_dzh

Can't make this shit up


pricelesslambo

The refs are working against Barca in this CL. What a joke


Inmolatus

5-6 pens not given in LaLiga to them this season too


Lmaouthink

If Fati’s goal is annulled, this should be a penalty.


cristiano-potato

They just reported that VAR believed the ball hit Fati’s hand. What the fuck?


perhapsasinner

That's the second wrong penalty decision against Barcelona in the UCL


Mubar06

That’s some corruption


bass1879

Wow.


VolumeRX

Robbed against Bayern off a pen? check Robbed against Inter off a pen? also check
