🟢⚽ Welcome to VAR 4 YOU!
Here, we analyze and discuss the most controversial and non-controversial decisions in current football. Our mission is to promote understanding of refereeing decisions and healthy discussion about the sport we love. 📺📋⬇️
🏴 Arsenal - Burnley | Premier League
📢 Kai Havertz fails to get the ball and catches Ugochukwu on the left leg with his studs. A reckless challenge that warranted a red card. Poor decision by VAR not to call Paul Tierney over for a review. #VAR4YOU
🏴 West Ham - Arsenal | Premier League
📢 Pablo makes contact with Raya using his left arm, preventing the keeper from catching the ball. It’s a foul. What can be questioned here is the consistency, as we’ve seen similar incidents allowed to stand throughout the season. #VAR4YOU
🇪🇺 Bayern - PSG | Champions League
📢 According to IFAB: It's not a handball offence if the ball touches a player’s hand/arm directly from a team-mate. #VAR4YOU
📢 After reviewing the latest images, yes — Benjamin Sesko does make contact with the ball with his hand. The goal should have been disallowed. #VAR4YOU
🏴 Man United - Liverpool | Premier League
📢 Did Sesko touch the ball with his hand? We can’t be 100% certain, which may be why VAR didn’t intervene. With no clear evidence, it’s a good decision to stick with the on-field call and allow the goal. #VAR4YOU
🏴 Man United - Liverpool | Premier League
📢 Did Sesko touch the ball with his hand? We can’t be 100% certain, which may be why VAR didn’t intervene. With no clear evidence, it’s a good decision to stick with the on-field call and allow the goal. #VAR4YOU
🇪🇺 Atletico - Arsenal | Champions League
📢 Finally a good VAR decision. Hancko arrives late but never makes contact with Eberechi Eze. It’s the englishman who dives and tries to initiate the contact with the Atletico defender. Good call by VAR. #VAR4YOU
🇪🇺 Atletico - Arsenal | Champions League
📢 A similar incident to yesterday’s PSG vs Bayern involving Alphonso Davies. Does Ben White have his arm out in an unnatural position? Yes. But Llorente’s shot hits his leg first and only then deflects onto his arm. #VAR4YOU
🇪🇺 Atletico - Arsenal | Champions League
📢 Tough call. Gyökeres gets ahead of Hancko and there’s contact. In our view, it’s not enough - the swede goes down too easily. With contact there, it was always going to be difficult for VAR to overturn the decision. #VAR4YOU
🇪🇺 PSG - Bayern | Champions League
📢 Alphonso Davies has his arm out, but the ball takes a deflection off his torso before hitting it. Dembélé’s cross wasn’t heading straight for the arm. Deflection is the key word. We don’t agree with the decision to award a penalty. #VAR4YOU
🇪🇺 Bayern - Real Madrid | Champions League
📢 An eventful night for Slavko Vinčić. Let’s break it down. Madrid’s second goal comes from a non-existent foul. There is no foul by Rudiger on Stanišić in Mbappé’s goal. And finally, the red for Camavinga seems harsh to us. #VAR4YOU
🏴 Man United - Leeds | Premier League
📢 Lisandro Martínez is sent off for pulling Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s hair. It doesn’t seem the right call to us. The argentine doesn’t do it in an aggressive or violent manner at all. In our view, it was a very harsh decision. #VAR4YOU
🇪🇺 Barcelona - Atletico Madrid | Champions League
📢 Good call by VAR to bring the referee over. Cubarsí takes Simeone down outside the box when the argentine was clean through on goal against Joan García. A straight red card is the correct decision. #VAR4YOU
🇪🇸 Atletico Madrid - Barcelona | La Liga
📢 Gerard Martin makes a very aggressive challenge on Thiago Almada. The spaniard catches Almada’s ankle with excessive force. A red card should have been shown — no doubt about it. #VAR4YOU
🏴 Bournemouth - Man United | Premier League
📢 It’s a foul and a red. There’s no doubt about it. Maguire denies Evanilson a goalscoring opportunity. The english defender sees red as he doesn’t even attempt to play the ball. Another good decision by Stuart Attwell. #VAR4YOU
🏴 Bournemouth - Man United | Premier League
📢 There is contact on Amad Diallo, but it’s not enough for a penalty. Too soft. Good decision by the referee. #VAR4YOU
🏴 Man United - Crystal Palace | Premier League
📢 Penalty and a red card for Lacroix. It’s far too soft to award a penalty kick. Matheus Cunha makes the most of it and sells the foul. A very harsh decision in our view. #VAR4YOU
🏴 Nottingham Forest - Liverpool | Premier League
📢 Goal correctly disallowed. The ball strikes Mac Allister's arm and goes straight into Ortega’s net. It is an offence if a player scores in the opponents’ goal directly from their hand/arm, even if accidental. #VAR4YOU
🇪🇸 Atletico - Barcelona | Copa del Rey
📢 The infringement occurs when Lewandowski touches the ball. Although Cubarsi is positioned behind his teammate, he's ahead of the line of the ball and slightly ahead of Atletico’s last defender. Correct offside decision. #VAR4YOU
🏴 Liverpool - Man City | Premier League
📢 Haaland commits a foul on Szoboszlai, which immediately rules out the goal. But beforehand, it's Szoboszlai who grabs Haaland, preventing him from scoring. Good decision and great communication by Craig Pawson. #VAR4YOU
