Everton have received an apology from Head of Referees Mike Riley, following VAR oversight at the weekend which saw Frank Lampard launch a scathing attack.
Everton’s 1-0 loss to league-leaders Manchester City at the weekend was overshadowed by an oversight from VAR. The referee was not sent to view what looked a clear handball by City’s Rodri.
The incident in question saw the ball appear to strike the Spaniard on the arm, inside the box. However, VAR decided the referee did not need to view the incident on the pitch-side monitor.
The Merseyside outfit have since received an apology from the Professional Game Match Officials Board Head of Referees, Riley, per The Mirror.
Riley is reported to have phoned both Lampard and Everton chairman Bill Kenwright to personally apologise.
It seems Riley is of the belief the wrong decision was made by the match officials.
竟然道歉, 但又唔係公開, 係私底下. 即係點?
明白VAR唔想個個決定都叫球證睇一睇, 但去到咁明顯的一個手球, 睇咗兩分鐘都覺得無足夠證據.
其實我都唔係太明個rule. 係鏟VAR無叫球證去場邊睇一睇? 定係手球/唔手球呢D VAR可以話事, 純鏟佢地做錯判決?
