Arsenal gets the tieing goal on a ******** call
for a corner when ball clearly went off Arsenal defender, should have been a goal kick. VAR can be used to determine offfsides by the width of an ant’s a**crack, but can’t be used for this? WTF??!!!
The Laws of the Game 24/25 don't permit VAR to be used for a goal kick/corner kick determination.
From the Laws:
Video assistant referee (VAR) protocol
Protocol -- principles, practicalities and procedures
The VAR protocol, as far as possible, conforms to the principles and philosophy of the Laws of the Game.
The use of video assistant referees (VARs) is only permitted where the match/ competition organiser has fulfilled all the Implementation Assistance and Approval Programme (IAAP) requirements as set out in FIFA’s IAAP documents, and has received written permission from FIFA.
The use of VARs in football matches is based on a number of principles, all of which must apply in every match using VARs.
1. Principles
A video assistant referee (VAR) is a match official, with independent access to match footage, who may assist the referee only in the event of a
‘clear and obvious error’ or
‘serious missed incident’ in relation to:
a. Goal/no goal
b. Penalty/no penalty
c. Direct red card (not second yellow card/caution)
d. Mistaken identity (when the referee cautions or sends off the wrong player of the offending team)
The professional leagues have some leeway in terms of experimenting with things, but it has to be within the guidelines of the Laws of the Game.
