The VAR explanation for the Hwang Hee Chan penalty against Schär is making the Havertz’s penalty review against Man U look like a farce of subjective decisionmaking.
One uses ‘minimal contact’ to justify and defend the ref’s on-field call, and one uses it to overturn.
No standards have been set. No benchmark has been made to work from. No clear and obvious bar to clear. Completely subjective interpretations. And guess who got which one?
The debate about that Hwang one is bizarre. Couldn’t be any more obviously a penalty. But what’s crazy is that no-one is talking about VAR discussing possible contact etc, rather than saying ‘textbook case of jumping in, clear penalty’ or whatever. They just don’t know the rules.
