We should have got penalties against Georgia away in 2007 (McFadden fouled in the box) and Macedonia away in 2008 (Maloney fouled in the box). Yeah, and in the Georgia and Macedonia examples we most likely would have qualified as a result of a correct decision. Although the Georgia one may have been countered by the France example you gave.

ErsatzThistle Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Forgot to add Steven Naismith had a goal wrongly disallowed for offside against the Netherlands's at Hampden in 2009. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Return of Yermaw Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 Lithuania away (one of the dozen or so times). Lost 1-0 (if I recall correctly) to a penalty that no one saw - not even the ref but he appeared to claim that he "heard" the foul/contact. think it was Jackie McNamara who was the "culprit". Later in the same game their 6ft 8" sub launched himself head first straight into Pressley's head (who was heading the ball away). a red card/jail sentence any day of the week an don't even think a foul was given. i don't think VAR would have been used for that though......

exile Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 I awoke in the night with a fever and the sky was the darkest blue (blue sky) And a still voice was calling - to me - "your country is needing you" Aye just like that. And away in the distance i can just make out this ball, coming in from the left,and i'm starting to run, to run like hell and the voices are getting louder and louder and louder, crying, "Hey big yin, gaun yersel'" (Sung) I have a dream (we have a dream) If dreams come true (If dreams come true) then bonny Scotland (then bonny Scotland) I will play for you. (we'll play for you) Now i hope and i pray (we hope and pray) that if, if I do (that if we do) Then bonny Scotland we'll play for you (spoken) Now the next thing I know, someones gaun and tripped me and i've fallen just inside the box (thats a penalty) Now ref he looks to his linesman and he's pointing right at the spot! (thats brilliant) Now John Robertson, who normally takes them, is handing the ball to me (you dont say) and then it goes to VAR, and it turns out it's not a penalty after all, and the dream is over.

KirkieRobRoy Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 This thing where VAR judges if a keeper microscopically goes off his/her line nanoseconds before a penaty, and orders a retake if so and books the keeper. I reckon that around 90% of all penalties saved in any grade of men's or women's football in the history of the game would probably fall foul of this utterly stupid practice.

UpTheSlope Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 I’d be more interested in how we would have faired qualifying for France 98 as group winners if we had quite rightly been awarded a 3-0 bye for the one team in Tallinn game Would we have put up a better showing against Cameroon and Chile than we did against Morocco and Norway. Brazil were a far better outfit than Italy and it took an own goal for Brazil to beat us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErsatzThistle Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Remember our 3-0 defeat away to the Netherlands in 2009 ? Wasn't one of the Dutch goals scored only after one of our players was clearly fouled ? The referee never noticed it. Coincidently, Gary Caldwell went onto score from a header but it was disallowed because he had fouled one of their players in their box whilst heading it. The referee noticed that alright !

Slovakia away, Fletcher was fouled not too far from their penalty area. Not given, they broke up the pitch and scored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd Posted June 27, 2019 Author Share Posted June 27, 2019 Its probably just my selective memory but it seems to me that generally decisions go against us far more than for us.

stocky Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 No Joe Jordan penalty v Wales therefore perhaps no Argentina, therefore no Archie Gemmells goal,therefore my son ( Archie) would be called something else... No Argentina therefore probably no national embarrassment and humiliation and self loathing and therefore leading to a (proper) YES vote in the 79 Referendum, leading us to no Thatcher and Independence late in the 1990's, No Blair, No Iraq War, No Cameron, No May and no Jonhson.. so in my alternative universe VAR in 77 would have , in the long term been a better thing..... But would I swap all that for Archie's Goal............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Dark_Knight Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) Anyone who has watched VAR being used in the Woman's World Cup would know that nothing will ever change. The big teams will get the decisions and the small teams won't. Simple as that. Against England, a Scotland defender stuck out a leg in order to stop the cross, the ball then hit the arm that the defender was using to balance her body. Penalty given. Last night against Norway, the ball ricochet off an England player's thigh onto her arm. Penalty not given. Not even reviewed.
