Clearly Lamptey didn’t mean to hurt the guy and got to the ball first but I’m sure there are refs and VAR’s that would have sent him off for that.

I think the confusion was where we all thought he was pointing to the spot when giving the free kick.

The ball hit the arm of a OM defender but van Hecke was at his back and the ref gave a free-kick to OM for a foul by JPvH.
If I remember rightly OM had won a corner as that sequence played out - I'm sure they were delighted to have to take a free-kick in their own penalty area instead!
The VAR spotted that the ball had brushed the guy’s arm - completely unnoticed by anyone - and called the ref across to take a look.
The ref watched it, and decided (probably rightly) that JPVH had fouled the defender, causing him to handle it.

It was worrying listening to the commentators say what had happened because the initial thought was something had gone wrong up our end.

That's better.
I agree, especially the pansy who was rolling about after Lamptey had crushed his ankle
They're complaining about the ref when we were given a penalty using VAR, then had it taken away? He
gave it, then somehow ended up pulling it back and giving them a free kick, which VAR can't do.
Not to mention the ref letting their gamesmanship (diving, rolling around, timewasting) go unpunished, going so far as to book Veltman for a 'tackle' when he was nowhere near the player. Jesus christ.

I'm pretty sure he didn't. He awarded a free kick. It looked like a penalty decision but wasn't.
VAR can't pull play back for a free kick in that situation, surely?! I've never seen that happen.
It probably was a foul by JPvH and would have been a harsh penalty, but still.

My interpretation is that VAR had checked a number of things. He was called to the screen, but went against the guidance after seeing the foul. Thus the match is re-set to the point at which the decision dictates because play had stopped for him to go to the monitor.
I think.

Let’s face it he was far better than the one who Reffed the match against AEK Athens …..Marseille have obvs got to come up with some excuses as to why they *ucked up a two nil lead …….oh look a bit of blood on his sock…had ten times that on my fingers this afternoon pruning a rose bush.
Anyway I didn’t think we were allowed to talk about refs post match eh BL

Chris Sutton usually deems it taboo too. To paraphrase “Why are we talking about the occasional mistakes of VAR or referees? When we should be looking at the multiple mistakes each game from managers and players,”

On the contrary, I was most disappointed by the lack of the after match thread. Even my attempts at a little troll seem to have failed here. I was hoping my dear sparring partner, the splendid @Icy Gull, would be along. I even took a look at his profile worried about his absence.Let’s face it he was far better than the one who Reffed the match against AEK Athens …..Marseille have obvs got to come up with some excuses as to why they *ucked up a two nil lead …….oh look a bit of blood on his sock…had ten times that on my fingers this afternoon pruning a rose bush.

I'm going to bed feeling unfulfilled. The ref thread has become part of my Albion ritual. I hope we can get back to normal at the weekend.
