[QUOTE="weasel, post: 550283, member: 14"] Agreed, initially I though it was a joke that it was disallowed. I thought Ramsey had been penalised for obstructing Cavanni, which he had. Since when do you have to get out of another players way? If I'm a striker can I just run straight at goal and get a free/pen if the defender doesn't get out of my way!? APPARENTLY it was disallowed cos Ramsey was stood offside initially and thus becomes active when he blocks Cavanni. That does make a little more sense. But I still struggle with two parts of that, as well as not being sure that obstruction/not getting out of someone's way is really a foul. 1) Was Cavanni getting the ball, or going to be close enough to have an affect on whoever played it? I'm not sure he was. 2) Is that REALLY a 'clear and obvious' error? The fact it took VAR 4 minutes to find it (and I agree with Edd it did look like they were trying to find a reason not to allow it) would imply that it wasn't. I would be pissed off if I was a Villa fan. If I was a Utd fan (shudder), I would feel like we got away with one. If I was a football fan, I would be looking at VAR [I]AGAIN[/I] and wondering just why we bother having it given they **** more things up than they solve/fix/correct. [/QUOTE]
