PGMOL Main questions about VAR Procedure over Man UTD Punishment of Controversy in Everton Drawing
The head of PGMOL’s Howard Webb defended the decision to cancel Everton’s penalty kick in their draw 2-2 with Manchester United last month, but asked why the judge on the ground did not get a better view of the VAR incident.
At a time of stop eventAshley Young threw himself on the ground under pressure by Harry Maguire and Matthijs de Ligt. Andy Madley’s clerk awarded the sentence, but after advising him to reconsider the incident, he eventually canceled the decision.
It was an extremely controversial call because repetitions undoubtedly showed that the young shirt was pulled but The Premier League quickly confirmed The officials did not believe that the offense had been committed, to the great surprise of many who watched from the house who thought Madley had not seen enough corners of the incident to make a decision.
Webb, speaking on Match the Mic’d Up officialsHe agreed that Madley was not secured by an appropriate number of corners, but insisted that the decision to exaggerate the sentence would continue to be rendered no matter.
“The judge clearly punished Maguire in this situation,” Webb explained. “He believed that Maguire pulled young with his left hand and described it. Var knew that and that would be the starting point of the check.
“When Var looks at him, Maguire does not do what the judge thinks he has done in real time. He sees a touch, but not Maguire.
“Maguire is not a misdemeanor. The award of punishment is obvious and obviously wrong in our opinion, and from VAR.
“They ask the judge on the screen to consider the De Ligta proceedings, but I absolutely accept that the angles that are present at that moment do not show a clear enough view of what De Ligt does.
“They have to show him angles earlier on the screen. I’m not saying that De Ligt’s procedures are offenses, but they need to show another angle to decide on the screen. Some of these angles are shown on broadcasting and I suppose that some criticisms from how this process took place.
“We talked about not all contacts bad contact – just because you have a small tug no means that this is something you punish. We try to look for the influence of that action and the way young people fall forward, it spreads your feet, in my opinion, does not affect the amount of contact you see from De Ligta.
“We do not think that this in itself fills the threshold of punishment. It was a view of the judge on the screen and for a moment the angle behind the goal was shown.
“I’m pretty sure it would come to the same decision anyway, but people can see that he saw full information.”
