Insane decision. If that isn't a "clear and obvious" error by the referee then what is?
But its okay, UEFA will issue an apology and that will be that.

Well that's the problem with it isn't it, it's not the system , it's the idiots making the call that is the issue.

Got to ask the question about corruption in football.

What happened? they ruled out that for handball? Even after looking at it on VAR? Did the ref go to the monitor as well?

There's nothing wrong with VAR. It's always going to be the human element as the weak link.

Celtic go to Uefa over ghost goal as brutal reason why sparks fresh anger

Kelechi Iheancho though he had the Premiership champions level in the second half but it was chalked off

Dear me
The incompetence of some of these refereeing teams is staggering.

Terrible decision, And people thought when VAR was introduced, it would be the end of poor decisions.

As others have said, while VAR was supposed to end the most obviously poor decisions, we didn't take into account it was the same people currently making those mistakes that would be running VAR.

I don't envy referees, they have a tough job and are surrounded by players who are experts at conning them, plus managers and fans who give them heaps of abuse, sometimes fairly, often not. But the officials running VAR need to start being separate from the other officials. They don't have to be trained referees, they need to have a thorough understanding of the rules and some common sense. Stop the VAR officials from making decisions that sometimes seem to be all about not embarrassing their on-field colleagues.
