The VAR review for a Uruguay penalty was not rejected for handball. It was because the referee felt Daniel Amartey got the ball. If it had been rejected for handball, play would have restarted with a free kick to Ghana in their penalty area. It didn't. #GHAURU #FIFAWorldCup

The sign of utter Referee confidence is when you send a player off in the semi final of a cup, then pick him up off the floor...Such a class referee #LIVARS

100% in favour of a sin bin for that kind of challenge from Tanganga.

Here's your Monday VAR thread. Not actually much to cover this time. Though a few incidents you might say were high profile.... - The mess that was WBA v Brighton - The great handball mystery and what happens next

I can’t believe that the commentator and summariser don’t know the laws of the game after Welbeck hit the post. Fishing around at offside. Absolutely staggering. #WBABHA

Referees have such a tough job, but VAR and consistency in decision making is spoiling the game. Loads of situations this week have highlighted this very clearly.
Linesman gets to show off his skills 👏

Law 12 H/B irrespective of where arm/hand is positioned doesn’t necessarily mean an offence has been committed there has to be a deliberate movement of arm/hand towards the ball, imo VAR should have never got involved,referee has to be strong and stick with his original decision

You are the ref: what is your decision, do you agree with the red card shown?

We thought it was a penalty for Iran...

This pic from @keyincident shows clearly how the defender's knee gets into the back of the attacker and gets him out of balance. Foul to me and very brave call by referee Michael Oliver.

It's about time dissent is punished. Too many times it's ignored and then young players pick this up and try and get away with it during games. Good job referee!.
