Premier League have just announced the shocking VAR Error By referees of Manchester United vs FULL HAM- PGMOL under scrutiny over surprising VAR mistake made by The Referee during the Man U vs Full match ruling the goal
In the seventh minute of the match between Manchester United and Fulham, it appeared that Scott McTominay had given his team the lead by tapping the ball into the net.
However, the joy was short-lived as VAR intervened and disallowed the goal due to an offside position held by Harry Maguire. The VAR official had observed Maguire’s offside position when Christian Eriksen delivered a free kick into the box.
The contentious issue was whether Maguire’s presence interfered with the play. Opinions on this varied among the commentary team. Leon Osman and Conor Coady disagreed, with Osman suggesting that Maguire’s interference was significant while Coady believed otherwise. The subjective nature of this call was evident.
On social media, fans expressed their frustration with the decision, with some considering it “ridiculous” and a “joke.” Others argued that it did not meet the criteria for a “clear and obvious” error.
Jermaine Jenas, part of TNT Sports’ commentary team, offered his perspective, suggesting that Maguire’s attempt to make contact with the ball justified the offside call. Rio Ferdinand added that the on-field decision and VAR’s involvement demonstrated a lack of clarity, ultimately making the right decision.
For Fulham, the VAR ruling came as a significant relief. Dean Smith, the former Aston Villa manager, expressed disappointment, highlighting McTominay’s recent goal-scoring form and the standard nature of the free kick that led to the disallowed goal. The decision showcased the ongoing debates surrounding VAR and its impact on the game..
