Yesterday’s episode of Open Var on Dazn generated a lot of discussion for the refereeing evaluations expressed regarding the episodes of the last day of the championship. In particular, the comparison of two similar hand fouls, judged in opposite ways, caused discussion.
The first case concerns the penalty not awarded to Atalanta, a decision deemed correct by the program’s experts. However, in the same episode, it was considered equally correct to award a penalty to Parma against Lecce, despite the fact that the dynamics were very similar. A contradiction that puzzled the pundits present in the studio, including Marco Parolo, Luca Toni and Ciro Ferrara, who appeared incredulous in the face of such evaluations.
Referee interpretations of hand fouls continue to be the subject of controversy, highlighting a lack of uniformity in judging criteria. This fuels doubts and protests from fans and industry insiders, who call for more consistency in Var decisions.
The article Var still at the center of controversy. And Atalanta… comes from CalcioAtalanta.
