@@mh4841Why would anyone choose to be a referee in modern day football? The amount of abuse they take (often deserved) would turn anyone away.

@StupidVideos40 good pay and the implementation of better refereeing standards can change this. Referees in other sports are respected, this can change in football if the model and structure of refereeing was changed. There needs to be a bit more open conversation and less of the boys club vibes. Today's referees are stuck in the old generation of football.

You missed some really important pieces of info for context. First he went into detail how stressed he wld get when he knew he was on VAR. His anxiety was thru the roof which likely led him making an inappropriate emotional decision to help a fellow ref despite the fact that everyone could see the hair pull. He said he was incredibly wrong to do what he did. He eventually took himself off VAR as he could not handle the mental stress.

yeah and that just criminal. Some one does something wrong and you won't call it out cos the poor chap has had a hard time recently. Bloody ridiculous.

Well said Paul it’s not life and death it’s more than that var need to get the right decision in real time what ever it takes full stop

Should be jailed not rewarded with a job

I agree totally. I actually like Mike Dean as a person but couldn't think of many refs less qualified to discuss the merits of VAR because of his comments a few weeks ago. He has zero credibility and is lucky he hasn't been sued or even prosecuted. Whoever has been doing the hiring at Sky Sports the last few years needs firing along with Mike.

Good point. It’s happened before , not recently ! that when the situation is made clear to the opposition they agree to score an ‘own goal’. Sign of the times maybe ?

​@@welldoneboysgoodprocess that is the dumbest logic ive ever heard of.... So i suppose you think slavery should still be allowed because that was within the LAW too...

Couldn’t give him a red card in that room either lol

Because its great TV that's why

I agree, rewarding incompetence; why ask him when he (and they, the refereeing collective) are always keen to defend their mates and the indefensible. Isn't Dean the one who when Chelsea were defending a corner, defender Cucurella had his hair pulled throwing him to the ground, said he'd seen it on the replay but there wasn't a specific law to outlaw pulling of hair therefore nor the resulting goal from the corner. This degree of stupidity is why we are in the mess we are. Does he actually believe that or is he just biased against Chelsea?

I remember a time before VAR. Every weekend there was a debate about whether a goal was offside, about players diving for penalties, fouls, most weeks, in massive games (though let's be fair, it is a game, and no reason for people to be so badly criticised for a mistake)/and somehow the game survived. Go back five years. How many people after a game would say/bloody ref, we were robbed?. All. Var is a glorified linesman. It was a bad decision, explained over and over. An error. It happens. We had referees for 150 years. They were never perfect. The technology worked, the human made an error. Maybe we should all watch football played by robots. Then there will be no mistakes.

Prem refs today are the worst they’ve ever been, and unlike the managers, the players and even the fans, they’re above any scrutiny in the media or in the pitch and avoid punishment for everything, no matter HOW big the mistake is. The league is an absolute farce until we get a complete new set of officials AND rules

@@bareyeelos2417 Pep Guardiola was subtly making that exact point. The league is racking up red cards at more than twice the usual rate averaged over the last several seasons, and over three times what we saw last season. It is not the players whose attitudes are so different.

United got awarded a penalty after the final whistle against Brighton, which fair enough, was a pen. Suddenly we are pretending god himself will smite the ref because he doesn't follow the "law". Ref should've just called the two captains, show on the big VAR screen that it was indeed onside so everyone knows what is going on and let Diaz score a free goal, instead we are having this big drama which could've been resolved in minutes on the pitch.

Shame he clearly doesnt know that var is set out to each football league. The fa has no say on the rules of var

Haha, well put!

Exactly zero common sense applied

its in the law to stop the game bc of a head injury tho

yes, a goal is more important than someone's life. I do know what you mean, however still don't think the ref should go back on the decisions they have made, but something need to be done to eliminate the mistake

@@beatriz-lw2ru And why is that protocol, or rule (not "law" btw lol) there in the first place? Because of common sense. People with common sense sat around a table at a meeting and decided these rules based on common sense, not some fixed unyielding immovable "law". I mean, VAR was created because of supposed "common sense", not because of any pre-existing law that 'thou shalt never be broken or changed'. People spouting this "law" nonsense clearly have zero common sense themselves

like not counting a legitimate goal seems like just about the worst mistake you could have and they're so focused on the laws of the game, isn't there a point where the laws of the game go out the window and it becomes a matter of lessening the negative impact of a mistake? There is no world in which what happened is better then if they violated the laws of the game to stop play and count the goal.

The guys in the VAR room have bosses just like the players, coaches and fans. And they have rules to follow. They can't just bring the game back if that means going against rules. Common sense definitely needs to be brought in, 100% across the board and this is a prime example of it. But in this game, at that moment...they made the mistake, acknowledged it and followed the book after that point.

@@tashrif46 I agree, but on this occasion, the only thing they did incorrectly was get the decision wrong in the first place. They couldn't have done anything else after that mistake.

@@tashrif46 Again, they couldn't. The rules need to be changed to allow for this as it is obvious common sense...but until then...

He doesn't come off well, just saying "it's the law" - better for him to explain WHY it's the law, where I think he's right. The law on VAR is there to prevent decisions being overturned later - imagine the corrosive effect on the game if you create a precedent where any decision could be changed minutes later, that would be disastrous - it's bad enough that we have that ten seconds or so after any goal when we're not sure if it might be overturned. They have to get it right - and a simple change to the communication protocols here will resolve for the future, which they've already done.

Because it was a human error but if you know your wrong and stop the game you have now broken the law yourself as a referee

@@fullydavid yes, but there needs to be some sort of contingency put in place for a mistake of this nature.

😢

@@fullydavid What you call corrosive, most people would regard as corrective. It's natural justice. We aren't talking minutes later, so your slippery slope style argument doesn't work. If a team has legitimately scored a goal (as Liverpool did), the officials know that they have (but have miscommunicated that fact to their colleagues), and they immediately become aware of the error (as happened in this case), the correct thing to do is stop the game and have the goal stand.

an excuse for corruption you mean?

@paulobrien4106 as mark goldbridge said previously, this is a dictatorship

He's 100% right... if they stop the game and reverse the decision, then they make an even shitter show of themselves and undemine the laws of the game, the very thing they're supposed to uphold.

But their incompetence is as process designers, not refs. They can't see the wood for the trees: ten minutes in the ops room of a warship at action stations would show the difference between reliable speech protocols and the haphazardness in the VAR audio.

it was ok for them to "break the law" and chalk off an onside goal though... mike dean talking utter shite its all a cover up.

Yes, it is not for the first, and yes for the second. You said it yourself.

Yup. How is that different from awarding a goal scored from the corner which should have been ruled as a goal kick? The lesser of the two evil?

Clearly your listening skills are lacking. The rules of the game do not permit a goal to be awarded after a wrong decision has been made AND THE GAME HAS RESTARTED. You are not playing a kickabout with your mates. Football cannot made ad hoc in game decisions which are against the laws of the game.

@@Roma_901 I'm baffled that it's so hard for some people to comprehend this. The law is written with no wiggle room for a mistake like what happened. You could tell by the response of the VAR team when the goal was overturned. They knew that was the end of it, despite trying to communicate a legal goal. If the ref blew the whistle mid-play and reversed the decision, the panel would be nearly as combative, claiming that there's nothing in the rulebook that allowed them to do that and the referee is just making it up as he goes.

@Philip_325 but what is more important staying within the bounds or doing the right thing. The VAR ref has made a massive mistake that isn't objective or debatable.. its onside and a goal, not 1 Tottenham fan would argue it. He could of delayed the game to fix his mistake but can't because it'll break protocol, ok but his massive mistake has altered the match. Mike Dean says 2 wrongs dont make a right, but correcting his wrong would make the match right and that's more important than following protocol.

@@irishdude5074 i assume you are a liverpool fan, so, united were awarded the penalty because of a incident that happened 10-20 seconds before the final whistle, the difference is that liverpool scored their goal in the first half with still at least 45 mins to go. if liverpool were winning 3-0 before the own goal, nobody would be making a scene. but because goals or no goal decisions cause a whole different pattern of play then nobody can say what the final score would have been, it's just like when a team is under the cosh and the tv reporter says it could have 4-0 if the chances would have been taken, no it wouldn't because when the first goal goes in, the play re-starts from the centre circle, so as i have pointed out the pattern of play changes as it would have done if dias's goal would have been given, but it doesn't alter the fact that the goal should have been given and the var team should be sacked for such a bad call as you can clearly hear him saying that it wasn't offside. the officials are just making poor excuses and covering their bad decision making.

@davidlancaster4476 If Liverpool go 1 nil up, they could still bet duffed 4-1 this is true, but, Liverpool having the lead wrongfully taken away changes the entire complexity as they still chase the game down a man, much less conceding a goal minutes later. Even at 1 1 they have a fighting chance and if normal play resumed as it did, a 2 2 draw was probably a "more" fair result, not considering the sheer ineptitude of the ref and his bookings.

Spot on

No actually it's all the people who believe they are above the law. The referees know they are not above the law. They didn't make the law, but they know they have to obey it. And if the law is bad, that's for IFAB to fix

@@yoonyulntaeny There was no problem with the law, there was a problem with communication which has nothing to do with the law. VAR created a problem, it was their job to fix it.
