What are you even saying? did you even watch the said match? that was a neat goal and it was disallowed. why? like my brother above rightly said. its a scenario of Match fixing gone wrong. shikena.

Joysticks:
The linesman saw the goal.

No, he did not...
Neither was it a “neat” goal (even the Portuguese continued playing after the clearance).

I watched the game and even the commentators didn’t realize the ball crossed the goal line.
Even after the television replays, the commentators were wondering why Ronaldo was so mad.

Although I initially suspected it crossed the line...
Refs have to make a split-second decision (with goal-line technology here) if the ENTIRE ball did.

The yellow will most likely be rescinded...
And the ref might even be punished/sanctioned.

But the result cannot be changed post-match...
Ref mistakes are a PART of the game of football.

If it is discovered the ref was on the take...
The match would then most likely be replayed.

How can the yellow card be rescinded?
Can his rant and indiscipline against the referee be rescinded?

Even if a ref makes a mistake, is s a player allowed to behave badly?
The way you guys reason sef ehn!

Every decision stands; this year alone I believe over 100 bad decisions have been made in football.

What all the noise about this?

The CONTEXT of the player’s actions is taken into consideration in these reviews...
That’s why (for example) cards have been rescinded when it is discovered a player was reacting to racial insults.

The referee is a racist

The referee was lucky it wasn't Suarez!

Cti28:
Lol, I nearly bite my tongue. Pionel

u self reason am ba?

Apology is not enough. FIFA should award full three points to Portugal and cancel the yellow card issued against Ronaldo. That Referee's decision was dubious ; a daylight robbery !

Masonkaycares:
Or UEFA should start thinking straight and have goal line technology. Even Netherlands use it but a whol UEFA can't not to talk of VAR. Naija league better pass that one be dat nah.

nairalee:
Var would have solved this.

And for completions that have VAR already, referees should be punished for obvious errors cos I don't know why we still have lots of controversies despite VAR

oloyedewaris:
These are the people making sense, we are all human, we can't be 100% accurate, but when machines are used, errors are reduced

Reduced, I agree, but not likely to be ever completely eliminated...
Let’s not forget that the failure of goal-line technology was the reason Aston Villa was not relegated last season.

othermen:
Why can't the goal be awarded then and the yellow card- rescinded?

Not possible after the final whistle . Referee error is part of the game

When he scored two offside goals against Bayern, it wasn't rescinded

Epl is useless, nothing stopped them from combining var and goal line technology to judge the incident

pquaver:

His own sweet me for ear ooo. Chai give me Spezia, give me parma, give Hellas or a Penaltee..

Tank u jawe. U dey reason well. Chop Knuckle.

Reference:


Then you open a Pandoras box of endless litigations and a slippery slope of reawarded trophies and withdrawn medals perhaps going back to the 50's.

You will certainly need to wake the great Diego Armando Maradona from the grave to 'unpunch' the ball into net that set Argentina on its way to the Mexixo 86 cup.

FIFA is not the IOC. They don't do retro. What they can do is to make VAR mandatory for all and develop technology that is affordable to all.

Nice one.

its uefa that's faulty for not providing VAR, the refs are humans, can do error, so many goals have been denied/awarded wrongly b4 VAR , now that there's opportunity to minimize the error, why not go for it since majority of the fields can be equipped. The ref was not certain it crossed d line so he yellow carded CR7 for the way he reacted, many players blamed CR7 for the way he reacted also, he's also been given goals at a time that VAR would disallow now after all.

Will the fvcking apology give Portugal the 3points?




Nonsense!

majamajic:


There's goal line technologies

Did you watch the match? and why wasn't it applied?

Abeg,poor officiating
has helped Ronaldo many times especially in Real Madrid,why e con dey pain am?

This is where VAR becomes relevant.
