Every terrible VAR decision of 2024 in 18 minutes

[@moxictasculinity]

The worst VAR decision is when they didn’t give a 5 match ban to the defender who gave you the knee injury.

[@yr14863]

Utter woke nonsense

[@ninjalectualx]

Nirans community think of a new joke challenge Difficulty: IMPOSSIBLE

[@moxictasculinity]

@ you wouldn’t understand because you never had a knee injury 😔

[@ninjalectualx]

As a professional ski racer I guarantee my knees can take more abuse than any football player can imagine

[@mlg_dog420]

with lewandowski they accidentally used the defenders foot as the reference point for the 3d graphics, which is what caused the mistake. but as always in spain, the league didnt even apologize lol

[@_Xypes_]

Not only that, but they doubled down on the clown shoe accusations

[@Nando_Lorris_04]

11:27 I don’t know if you realise, but the semi-auto offside technology messed up here. It effectively swapped Lewa’s boot with the defender’s, and rotated the further forward boot to be facing the same way as Lewa then put it on his leg, so although Lewa was onside it read him as offside

[@ItsGeoff]

I still don't understand to this day why Coventry City did not put a complaint because that was daylight robbery at it's finest..

[@BengShwallock]

Because if their 92nd minute pen also got looked at theyd see the handball shouldnt have stood either, they knew what went on

[@Pacman-rf7ro]

Easiest thing to do is get one of those cameras that they use for the last 100m of a track race and put it on the sideline so that it follows the last man. That way they always have a camera angle in line with the defense

[@JimTheFly]

Or the wirecam they use in Formula 1 that they'll string up above pit lane at some tracks so it can stay with the cars as they're heading down the main straight?

[@LazarouDave]

I've thought this exact thing for years, but a simple and effective solution in Football? Never gonna happen, the people running the show are too brain-dead

[@asherraines491]

I love how everyone complains about the FA cup offsides against Coventry but at the same time, they were telling every United fan that “offsides is offsides” when United got a goal called off against Arsenal in the same way. Hypocrites

[@pratosaurusrex1128]

It’s because one decision is against Man Utd and the other is for them. That’s the criteria in their minds.

[@yngwievandenbrand8116]

In the Netherlands a corner was taken short and the play led to a goal. Later the goal was called as offside, which if you don't know the first recipient of the ball after a corner has been taken can never be offside.

[@ryancheung2399]

Coventry's penalty against Man United is perfect representation of VAR. Inconsistencies (especially in hand ball occasions). And people ignoring decisions against United just to focus on decisions in favour of United. I've seen many people talk about that offside decision but many people just conveniently ignore that dodgy penalty decision (which is the reason why Coventry made it into extra time).

[@pratosaurusrex1128]

It’s because the rest of the league’s teams love to dunk on Man Utd. We don’t help ourselves with our performances but you will always get bias against Utd from fans of every other team. Especially FNG as he is Liverpool.

[@Bryan_Me]

I think VAR is fine, it’s just very VERY misused.

[@HelloEdits613]

How Cucurella's handball in the Euros wasn't given as a penalty is still beyond me

[@Fcb_dgl]

Offside I think before

[@shashwatrathore9897]

same way joelinton handball not given against spurs. "Natural position", a very vague criteria

[@antlereddruid8359]

​@@Fcb_dgl actually it wasn't. It was never even checked, the call was "no handball" and there was no further check.

[@imatallmidget7881]

The offside on Isak was wrong in a different way, the line shown at 10:51, yes he is offside. But When that line was drawn was the moment GYÖKERES recieved the ball. in his own half. And they said offside on Isak who wasn't near at all during that time..

[@lawrencearthur7829]

You forgot to mention taa’s terrible tackle on sancho that didn’t even get looked at by far when it was Liverpool vs Chelsea earlier this season

[@mksgaming211]

The goal that was disallowed in the last minute of aston villa vs chelsea 2-2 is literally matchmaking

[@predatorx8081]

[@preachingamigo]

Not included, likely because it was too recent, but Joao Pedro not getting sent off for trying to clean Yarmolyuk's head off with an elbow simply because he missed was an actual disgrace

[@Bawg3341]

and John durans red card against Newcastle

[@BonoImFaded]

Chelsea vs villa late 23/24 season I still have no idea why the would have been winner was disallowed, not nearly enough contact to disallow

[@TakerKaneanite619]

Here's the thing that I feel like they keep forgetting about. It's the phrase "clear and obvious." I don't think they know what that phrase actually means. Not every single thing needs to be micromanaged

[@jackyoung3390]

not mentioning the joao pedro elbow is criminal

[@josephrumney-sx5jz]

Suprised this video aint 5 hours long

[@adelia-m6x]

You’re a beacon of positivity in a busy world. Thanks for this.

[@levanderblue]

I'm so glad someone else was really confused by the commentators in that Manchester Derby. Like... That is a clear yellow card if it happened literally ANYWHERE else on the pitch. It's just so idiotic. And while I agree that there is a certain respect to be given to the frustration involved in rivalry matches when it comes to awarding yellow cards or red cards, a foul is a foul. Do I think Dias deserves to be reprimanded for the challenge given the context of the rivalry game? Personally, I don't think it's important. But is it a penalty? Always.

[@levanderblue]

It's also especially frustrating because it demerits the players. Hojlund has underperformed stat wise this season, but he is undoubtedly a phenomenal player and in this instance he shows that by doing everything right. And yet after the game the talk is that his performance was just meh because he didn't win that penalty.

[@MrCatters.]

Diaz?🧐🧐 Who's this Diaz you're talking about? The only one that comes to mind is liverpool's Luís Diaz, but he wasn't in that game, so i dont know who this Diaz guy is.

[@just_a_fellow_aussie3980]

Melb Victory vs Sydney 28th December - ref had it correct and VAR suggested a red then went to the review board and they still didnt overturn it. Even the commentators said it wasnt a red

[@kayodeogundele5293]

15:47 Tell that to Onana, mate

[@Combatwombat-sn7ng]

The thing about marginal decisions when it seems a bit ridiculous as only the tiniest bit is offside is where do you draw the line otherwise? You have to have an objective point and stick to it, even if you end up with a toe being offside because otherwise it brings in objectivity

[@harubutjojo]

That Isak offside has to be the single worst decision I've ever seen in football.

[@qBeYcarpet]

Joao Pedro most obviously trying to elbow an opponent in the face called not violent conduct because he missed but Schär getting sent off for breathing too close to an opponent

[@alesknoll7059]

Bruno against Spurs is the worst I have ever seen

[@mattk4110]

This year already has a few good ones. Nunez trying to hospitalise De Ligt, Pedro trying out his WWE moves at Brighton, etc

[@donyiiovanni]

I'll never forget the Doku-MacAllister incident...but the United-City game justified that..."they're not given in games like this"

[@Esseeja]

You mentioned the second yellows not being intefered with, so Phillips getting sent off against Leicester when, 8 seconds earlier, Chaplin was about to shoot after cutting inside, but getting absolutely destroyed inside the box, and it not being given a penalty. Worst decision of the year for me.

[@el-magnifico4423]

Where is our FTW??! Two weeks now. It’s one of the things I look forward to on a Friday night

[@TheBetaChad.]

Martinez was channeling his inner Eagle I think he was signaling he wanted to be transferred to Crystal Palace.

[@reverendroar]

I’d agree with you about keepers but in a penalty situation they are less than 20% chance likely to save a shot when the chance should 50/50. I’m not staying they shouldn’t be restricted to their line but seems like the striker gets a lot more benefits than the keeper does in that situation

[@Youb11]

The biggest desicion where it was given to one player and not to another was Saliba red card vs Bournemouth and the next day tosin did the same thing against Diogo jota and it was one of those “it was to early in the game” type arguments

[@laser__unicorn]

I keep saying this, VAR works just fine in Rugby for years now, its only sht in Football because of corruption, they DON'T WANT IT TO WORK WELL, so corruption and match fixing can still happen. If that wasn't the case, there wouldn't be so much protection of refs for so much as complaining about their sht job. Coaches and players get punished for complaining about being literally robbed and refs get no punishment for it.

[@elijahtchilembe-mpovie2715]

Real!

[@Electrifyyy]

VAR when used correctly is one of the best things in football because it can fairly overturn wrong decisions that can happen on the pitch. The problem is the people who use it are not competent enough to make the right decisions despite having a wall of screens and any angle they could dream of. If there's a tight call then let VAR have the time to come to the objectively correct decision and just have a timer on exactly how long it takes and make sure that time is added on at the end of the half. The problems are so obvious but the refs are just untouchable (until they snort some lines) that no one can actually do anything. The whole Forest press release led to absolutely no change despite being a huge thing for the club to do

[@louisgoelen1645]

in the euros when Openda's hand got pushed into the ball, they had to bring up a sensor in the ball to claim it was a handball. it could have meant Belgium topped their group

[@YanalFanio]

Wow, I’m really amazed! Keep up the great work.

[@LazarouDave]

4:57 - "All 3 being stonewall" Idk about that one, Chief Reyna proper milked that love tap Unnatural position, yes, but very much ball to hand, so debatable Only the 3rd shout was stonewall

[@rawndellwilliams9667]

man like ade niran

[@JimTheFly]

The description of goalkeepers makes me think that they must have been learning from Tom Brady, because DEAR GOD that guy would SCREAM at refs if he got even slightly brushed against sometimes.... in a sport where one of the main defensive goals is to take the make with the ball and drive him to the ground.

[@damianwerring17]

Speaking about Var decisions at the Euros: That pen from Dumfries on Kane was NOT a pen. Dumfries stuck his foot out for the ball and Kane just managed to coincidentally fall over it 2 seconds after Dumfries stuck his foot out Disgraceful decision

[@Nando_Lorris_04]

12:28 I fully get and somewhat agree with this point, but let’s say you book Caicedo for that and give a free kick. You then have 2 future options: every single tackle and card/no card call gets reviewed, or they stick to only red card checks. If they do the latter, then you’d have free kicks getting given by VAR if they checked for a red, but not if it was just a normal foul that the ref missed. This would cause a huge inconsistency, which tbf refs don’t seem to be against

[@allayx.6974]

Martinez always catching strays

[@terry9819]

The worst decision in the Man U v Cov game was the penalty for (not) a handball. In the Everton v Forest game, VAR got it right. Not a great start. Bad one from the Euros was Kane kicking a defender and winning a penalty in the England v Netherlands match.

[@JM20056]

the fact this video is 18mins says enough about VAR to me😭😭

[@keithjordanmatsiko3819]

So he wants them to follow the rules no matter the occasion 9:58 but then he also wants them to take into account the footballing moment allowing a wrong decision might create 2:46 . Right good process lad😂

[@kumalala5238]

Every week in Laliga you can almost always find a horror VAR call.

[@elijahtchilembe-mpovie2715]

But tbh it’s better than the PL’s VAR…

[@DenDave_]

Its always been an issue with the way VAR is told to work. They can only intervene when the ref makes a ''clear and obvious'' error. This makes every decision subjective, and will inherently make them reluctant to change the decision. What VAR should instead be doing is ensure that referees maintain more consistency across different games throughout a season, thats literally all the change thats needed to improve the system

Yip obviously 1st one is about united.. Even tho they robbed us of a pen the very same game

Surprised not to see João Pedro swinging his elbow at Yehor Yarmolyuk to appear on this list. VAR agrees not red, despite the letter of the law being, he had malicious intent whether there was contact is irrelevant, red card.

14:21 ur editer said nah i dont feel like it

[@RedBullRacingiGP]

the only one i would disagree with is when the ref blew his whistle while real were on the attack. Referees are supposed to blow when the time has passed, its just common that referees don't until the ball is in a unthreatening position. It is not a mistake, nor is it a dodgy decision.

[@rejguon2378]

The first one was literally offside

[@micayahritchie7158]

Im gonna say this again like i say everytime something like this happens. I feel like everyone cimplaining about how bad VAR is simply dowsnt watch enough football without VAR and doesn't remember how much worse everything was before VAR. Edit: And the arguement that "referees on the pitch cant see every angle" doesn't hold any water. The VAR is also a person. They're just as fallaible as the on field referee and everyone and their mom complains that VAR takes too long. The one tangible improvement I'd give to VAR is that they dhould put tolerances on offside calls and say its too close to call and go with the on field decision.

At 6:07, while I accept this is kind of irrelevant as it wasn’t the reason given anyway, I still think this should’ve been offside. The defender marking him gets dragged across by the offside attacker’s attempt to play the ball. At that point for me he has affected the play
