So that there SHOULD NOT be any grumbling....the rules for VAR
What will the VAR review?
- Goal/no goal
- Penalty/no penalty
- Direct red card (not second yellow card/caution)
- Mistaken identity (when the referee cautions or sends off the wrong player)
What will it not review?
- Any yellow card (including second yellow card leading to red)
- Any free kick offence outside the box (other than red card offence)
Can a player or manager request a review?
No, all incidents are automatically checked by the VAR.
That VAR even bothered to accommodate Liverpool players for the "foul" leading to the goal should be viewed as a bonus to them
