The fans were booing.
The stadium: Empty
Stadium empty reminds me of anfeild

@@IZ4DAYZ_ If you've ever been to Anfield to watch a match, which I have, you will realise how untrue your comment is 👍
@@ItzJam727 mate your stadium attendences are so low plus the crowd only makes noise when a goal goes in, there is no atmosphere and you can always hear the opposition fans in the lfc V city game all I hear was city chants until you guys scores your team is quiet

Dude? DUDE?????
So didn't you heard V.E.R too 😂😂😂
So out off the dozen or so "Worst VAR Decisions" at least 3 were correct, makes it totally worth it.
Yeah, it was a penalty to Portugal and Griezeman was offside, Kane was booked so VAR could not intervene whereas the ref took no action for Christies lunge on Saka today.
@@SirAntoniousBlock also he was lost for words when jones rightfully got sent off also the west 5am vs chelsea game was a red
@@OboOboGaming2024 Yep studs up.
Even though there was an offside decision before Pickford took out Van Dyck, the referee could have booked/sent off Pickford or dangerous conduct and overruled VAR. Let's say Pickford had deliberately punched Van Dyck, do you think the ref would have done nothing because there was an offside decision?
@@pimeye True, the ref can make whatever decision he wants.
Bowen's disallowed goal vs Chelsea when he scraped the top of his boot over Mendy's arm when jumping over him is by far the worst I've seen when West Ham's involved.
Agree and I am a Chelseafan
You’re not wrong but also in West Ham vs chelsea soucek hand balled it and saved a shot which should’ve been a penalty
@@georgechadwick1214 A lot of poor decisions that game
"It was rigged that handball was called"
Also VAR: *clearly meets the handball requirement*😂
I love it when he said the crowd were booing. No crowds during covid at West ham match
In Germany's Bundesliga there was a match where the ref took half of the halftimebreak to evaluate VAR, then had both teams enter the pitch mid halftimebreak to perform the penalty he gave after reviewing VAR and after that sent them back to continue the break. According ot experts this was within the rules as written, but at the same time everybody watching it just knew this was wrong.
That was Mainz vs Freiburg, I believe.

@@DimitriOnZolZA you are stupid, he never said that.
@@DimitriOnZolZAok, ball played but whatever suits
That balbuena stamp on chilwell deserved a redcard and var got it spot on
The only call I agree with is the one for Pickford not getting punished. The challenge occurred during a time where play should have been cancelled due to the offside.
If the players is offside and gets fouled it doesn't matter its offside
@@ArthurHouse exactly
What? He still fouled him. If I throw a punch at an approaching attacker does it get ruled out just bc it is offside?
@@Grain90 yeah but in situations of offside. The play after the call should have been made is not counted.
@@Grain90 and there’s a difference between assaulting someone than committing a foul that shouldn’t have occurred.
Referee of 10 years now... I figured I'd make this comment to explain most of these calls, since people have a tendency to favor their opinions rather than the rules. Whoever wrote and approved the script for this really needs to learn the Laws Of The Game (LOTG) and also work on their wording. Also, I'd like to mention that I do not necessarily "agree" with the way the systems work but, in situations where rules exist for a sport, they must be upheld 100% of the way and I am simply explaining them. Some of these were good. Some were not. Let's touch on every call in this video and see which ones were correct and which were incorrect:
1. Robert Jones red. You showed the cleats on an almost straight-legged tackle catch Bissouma in the shin, with force. You can argue it's the ankle which receives some "leniency" from fans (why is beyond me). But the nature of this tackle is both reckless and dangerous. The force used was not negligible. No question about it being a red card.
2. Diaz offside goal. This is clearly an error. It was apologized publicly for. The audio for it was released. No matter who say sit, it's a true error. It was not "clear and obvious" but that does not matter for offsides in the EPL with their use of the lines (so saying it's "obvious" literally means nothing).
3. Pickford tackle on Virgil van Dijk. This one is a matter of understanding the LOTG. Pickford caught van Dijk. Correct. The player he "fouled" was offside, meaning the foul cannot be given. Correct. In that case, what is the red card supposed to be for? If the foul was given, it can be a no card, a yellow card for Unsporting Behavior, or a red card for Serious Foul Play. But with no foul given, the only argument to have is this is Violent Conduct. Here is the Violent Conduct wording:
"Violent conduct is when a player uses or attempts to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball, or against a team-mate, team official, match official, spectator or any other person, regardless of whether contact is made.
In addition, a player who, when not challenging for the ball, deliberately strikes an opponent or any other person on the head or face with the hand or arm, is guilty of violent conduct unless the force used was negligible."
Because he DID challenge for the ball, Violent Conduct is rules out. No card can be given. Very simple. It is very unfortunately to see players get injured, regardless of how. But we do not change the rules subjectively or situationally.
Also from the LOTG:
"In situations where an offence is committed against a player in an offside position who is already playing or attempting to play the ball, or challenging an opponent for the ball, the offside offence is penalized as it has occurred before the foul challenge".
4. Rodri handball. This is a tough one to argue in either way. The review for a handball has to be "clear and obvious" from a replay. In football (soccer), the LOTG states:
"For the purposes of determining handball offences, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit".
There is a diagram online that shows that is not considered for handball is the part that is covered by the sleeve (on a short sleeve shirt). No videos or images that you showed the ball strike below the sleeve of Rodri and in fact, every single video and image show it making contact with the sleeve at least halfway. This is the definition of NOT clear and obvious handling. No handball.
5. Sheffield goal denied. Firstly, this should not be in the video as this has nothing to do with VAR. Yes, this was something that unfortunately occurred and camera angles were there to prove it should have been given. As you mentioned, there was a malfunction with the technology occurred. In the EPL, the use of Goal Line Technology is used, not VAR. They technically cannot intervene to change anything. The best that we can hope for is the Assistant Referee has a clear angle that allows them to call the goal (if they're even allowed to at this point in the EPL) and then play gets stopped to award the goal. I doubt this would happen though because the Goal Line Technology would've been initially used to "disprove" the AR's call. Ultimately, this is extremely unfortunate and I personally hope they can create a method of preventing this in the future.
6. Red card for Balbuena. Balbuena definitely did not mean to stamp onto the leg of Chilwell. Intention is not assessed by referees. We simply look at the facts. Was the a stamp onto the leg? Yes. Was is negligible force? According to the referees and honestly anyone who has a working set of eyes, that's a pretty hard step onto the leg. As I mentioned previously, we do not change the rules subjectively or situationally. It's a red card.
7. Iran penalty. This one I can agree with the protests about. The distance from the ball was very small. The player's arm was in what I personally think is a natural position. In today's world, that wouldn't be given as a penalty. I don't believe the 2018 LOTG rules had any different things stated about handball. Unless they deemed the arm to be in an unnatural position, this appears to be a blunder.
8. Mitoma penalty controversy. This one seems to be a blunder as well (see, I can admit when something seems wrong). Initially it looks like Hojbjerg had a possible touch on the ball. The angle from the players' front (if you watch the slightly longer clip) does not show a clear touch or lack of a touch on the ball. If you slow it down, it appears like there may have been a VERY SLIGHT touch, though I'll be honest that I don't believe there was. In this case, VAR is looking to disprove a no-penalty which would mean clear and obvious no touch by the defender. They couldn't, so the call will stand as is. Personally I believe that this should have been because I don't believe there was a touch by the defender but I also fall into that "subjectively or situationally" category.
9. Kane no red card. First off, do not use the word "intent". Players, fans, and officials cannot truly know intent and cannot base decisions on intent. Now, in terms of the tackle... it is definitely a high boot, studs up, fast and aggressive challenge. I can agree that this should be a red card. The minimal contact made may have saved him in this case but I do believe that in any logical situation, a player would rather avoid getting hit by that than to suffer a potential injury.
10. Estupinan offsides. The lines do not lie. Are they in the right place? That's up to your opinion but I do think they may have put the lines on the wrong defender. As long as they checked both defenders with the lines to determine who was further, they're justified. I believe this one was also addressed in some form publicly. In the end, a better angle would've helped a lot, though.
11. Handball penalty call against Newcastle. A deflection off the side of a player from such a close proximity, into the elbow of their arm in a natural position of the elbow, should not be called a handball. This one was a shocker.
12. Handball against Uruguay. I'm not sure why this was deemed "unnaturally" positioned. A player sliding will break their fall with their arm and I think the position of the arm is in a position that is being used for support and not for the intent of contacting the ball.
13. Griezmann offside. This is a little confusing but it is upheld with some simple wording and understanding. It's tricky though, I will admit.
"A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched by a team-mate is only penalized on becoming involved in active play by gaining an advantage by playing the ball or interfering with an opponent by preventing an opponent from playing or being able to play the ball by clearly obstructing the opponent's line of vision..."
Was Griezmann obstructing the play in any of these ways? No. Did he gain an advantage from a play that occurred while he started in an offside position? Yes. Did the player deliberately play the ball? Well, the wording for what constitutes "deliberate play of the ball" includes "has control of the ball with the possibility of passing the ball to a team-mate, gaining possession of the ball, or clearing the ball". That means you have no pressure and you're playing a controlled play (with the exception that you try to play a controlled play and simply mishit it). The defender had pressure and had to act instinctively rather than deliberately, leading to his offside opponent getting an advantage on his non-deliberate play. Offsides should be awarded.
---
Again, I'd say the wording needs to be very specific when talking about the LOTG since many arguments people put up these days get indirectly proven correct by their arguments themselves! I truly do hope that fans become more aware of various Laws and I also hope they become simpler to understand in the future!
Holy, that was long but I will read it
Are you a leauge manager?

Its recorded sound playing on stadium speakers
That Chelsea vs Barcelona match refree is blind
he said liverpools virgin van dijk as well
Today Lucas Vasquez looking for the contact to get the penalty and the VAR not overturning it or even going to the monitor.
The Liverpool one at the beginning is clearly a red card. That's studs to the shin. It endangers the safety of his opponent
It s no surprise the EPL ones involve Michael Oliver. One of the worst referees in EPL history. He tried to make the game about him rather than the football.
The editing was so on point great video
QATAR VS INDONESIA U23 THAT WAS CRAZY VAR NOT WORK.
0:27 from here, you could’ve seen he could’ve gotten to worse injuries from either twisting, spraining.. even worse. The dislocation or breaking of an ankle
Hard to decide whether it is incompetence or dishonesty or both!
I work in the Gambling Industry one of our key objectives is to be open and honest....VAR needs this the only way VAR could work is if we had live microphone from the VAR as it happens...open and honest
_"I work in the Gambling Industry"_
So it's mostly your fault then.....
Bro said toanhaam😂😂
1:31 who Van Dijk 😂
When was Ancelotti at Everton?
Did you guys see the 2 leg Europa League Qf Roma vs Milan pen check
You are so biased 😂😂😂😂 you are so obviously a Liverpool fan 😂😂😂😂
how is it biased..
U are right cuz the first one was also a mistake with the technology so biased😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
How these are obvious bad var discussions
Liverpool deserve to have more points this season. I don’t know any other team that is hated by refs. I’m a Brighton supporter btw
He is not biased is it just that Liverpool got robbed so many times 😢

The second Liverpool one with the offside was a VAR mistake but they did end up giving Liverpool there points and an apology in the end
Wanna see bad VAR decisions just watch every wolfes games lol
Michael Oliver what a surprise no penalty in Liverpool Derby.
If Sheff Utd's goal had correctly stood, then Villa would have been relegated that season.
Blades v Villa wasn't a relegation scrap. Villa were struggling, but the Blades were closer to Europe than relegation that season
Tottenham vs Liverpool never dissapoints😂
Bro u deserve 700k subs
the crowed booed
THE STADIUM IS EMPTY
you should've mentioned the "Barca comeback" vs PSG where they were awarded 2 penalties where no foul was committed
So sad, they don't have the Aston Villa - Chelsea game here.
Where Chelsea scored in overtime, but VAR reruled it and disallowed the GOAL. the refs blowed for a foul 🤣
a heated meryside derby 1:20
In the first one, the Diaz goal was actually a rob
Nobody cares liVARpool get all the decisions their way just because 1 goes against you does not make you special
like spurs have gotten robbed against liverpool in previous seasons? the jota high boot that wasn’t a red card? they get all the decisions normally but as soon as one decision doesn’t go their way all of a sudden it’s a big deal? 😂
You lost me at Meeareside Derby
4:36
“Oh my bad I accidentally studded you in the knee”
Doesn’t make it not a red
Also at 5:30 I can accidentally leave my arm out and block a goal but it still is a handball
The VAR decision against Newcastle was definitely normal and the ref just stole PSG. A foul on Hakim not sanctioned and the first handball just like this one not sanctioned as well, ref stole PSG's victory that day
8:48 first time volley 😂i dont think he watches football
4:35 clear red card

It just happened yesterday.... El classics match
Personally at the 3:00 it was a good decision by the referee since the keeper was pushed in
Guys i think he may not be a liverpool fan
That rodri handball still p!$$es me off even micah richards was calling it a clear handball, corruption at its fimest
It did not prevent a scoring opportunity or change of possession, so it's fine.
Manchester United fans are just reading the comments
That game with Newcastle versus PSG break my fucking heart I lost 24,000 because of that wrong decision😢🤦🏽♂️
there is one that happened in the chelsea vs mancity fa cup semi final game where grealish did a handball in the box and it was never counted which made chealsea lose the game
Vid was two weeks ago game was yesterday
@@LFCfan94 yeah
Never a penalty, natural position and didn't change the course of the ball
NO, it didn't make Chelsea lose the game. 90 mins of football made Chelsea lose the game.

A liverpool and a CR7 fan,,,,for Portugal vs Iran that's a very clear handball 😂
Curtis Jones deserved that red card. Dirty challenge.
4:30 clearly 2nd movement to damage player for sure red card
The griezmann offside is legit. the same happened 2 times in Germany. A rebound or a touch from the opponent players does not count as a new action if the situation does not change. The ball was a pass and it succeeded even with the opponent hitting it before making it an offside.
Virgin van Dijk😂 1:31
Liverpool v arsenal first leg this season
Absolute screamer? he placed it bottom corner across the keeper
Might have to watch the rest of this video with the volume turned off and closed captions on, the speech pattern, accent and pronunciations are making me want to headbutt hard surfaces
Curtis jones clear red card is a right call what you smoking blud, a foul like that is ALWAYS red,it's literal career ending tackle
VAR favours Spurs. No doubt about it! And being Spurs they still can’t win anything 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Its not a VAR blunder bc offside is offside unless violent conduct is committed if offside is called everything afterward essentially doesn't matter
im getting angry just watching this....and im only 2 minutes in!!
People in the var room has been rubbish for all teams except Man City.
I’m a Liverpool fan , so are you saying the goal at spurs was offside and the tackle on van dyke was ok .? Obviously a spurs fan
bro this man is more of a tottenham hater, than a youtuber💀
Look at today Barcelona vs madrid
Rodri one was not handball,
it didnt hit his hand or arm, the angle was bad, it hit much higher than a arm was.
alan, check your vision. clear handball
It didnt hit his ARM, it hit the STUMP of his arm
That is not handball,
and it was not intenitonal
and did nothing
Why is it evortn in the first half
I watched for about 2 minutes,I just couldn't take it after that.SMH
chelsea west ham how the fuck crowd booed on empty stadium
valbuena did that intentionally ngl
Thank god football history is only written in Premier League! Rest of world VAR works perfectly fine, so no need for you to look beyond! ;)
Spuds always get the decisions!
UEFA Europa league final 2014 in Turin Italy , Benfica vs Sevilha ( 2 vs 4 on penaltis) just watch the Sevilha goalkeeper , Beto, how many steps from the goal line, in every single penalty from Benfica players the biggest robbery on a Europa league final...disgrasefull Michelle Platini....
Was Pickford fined?
Nice one liver fan
Well, I only managed to get 4.5 minutes into this video before I got fed up with it.
Most of these "worst decisions" were actually correct, and the narrator is misleading the viewer into thinking otherwise.
Notes to narrator:
a) Learn the Rules of Football (especially the handball rules)
b) Learn how to pronounce the names of the teams correctly
c) No one EVER says "the score is zero to one", it is "one nil" to whichever team.
d) Learn how VAR works and what is (not) allowed to check for
That man city hand ball wasn't a hand ball
bro's a liverpool fan
Titles altering decisions
I have read some of the laws of the game but don’t have a clear understanding of them. Are the law’s black and white or is there room for interpretation/ judgement? And can embellishment/ diving have enough influence in some decisions to overlook the original questionable situations?
no if your offside and you get fouled its a free kick to the other team cause you were offside in the build up
Most of the premier league refrees are biased
He is correct because he was onside😂
Why do you keep calling it VER ??!
most of these arent even controversial, like a player making contact off his boot when sliding and supporting himself with his arm as he falls is normal and shouldnt be a handball and I hate everything pickford does but anything at all after an offside is found is scrapped and thats just the rule, just a couple of examples
it's becoming fixed nowadays
the west ham players red card is clear as clear can be tho...
You definitely do not know ball lmao.
I'm not quite sure what's greater, your bias towards Liverpool or your hatred of Spurs.
Spurs get a lot of decisions in their favour to be honest
@@VVBthe1no they don’t, in terms of big games, they never get the decisions and also if that was the case they would get every penalty ever but they’ve only gotten 1 so far 😂
