Dortmund really bottled it didn't they. Just a brilliant season with the most sour ending you could imagine

In bigger stadiums yes, but I visited the Camp Nou and Anoeta (Reale Arena) the past year twice and they didn't show anything on the screen other than "VAR Check". Same in Cyprus where most stadiums don't even have a big screen.

It might be different in each country, but even then the stadiums announcer/producer is who is responsible for that.

Afaik the on screen graphic is from the producer which if Dale Johnson's guess is correct, then they would have gotten the wrong impression as well.

It wasn't, it is a combination of people a) being very emotional after a major decision b) people not knowing the rules and c) a signal mistake from the ref, even though I am not sure about that since I didn't see the refs arm after the decision was made.

It is since interference is not an objective decision by VAR but a subjective call from the ref. See Dale Johnson below:

For what is worth, I think up until the 0-2 Cyprus played much better than usual and I might say that we were unlucky to concede with the manner we conceded. Only chances from Norway were from crosses up until that point, but after that we just couldn't cope with their quality. They were easily better and the score could have been even more.

0 points at this stage is a disgrace and some serious decisions need to be taken. Our players individually should be the best we ever had and they get to play regularly for their teams (some in top leagues in Europe), yet the past 2-3 years have been embarrassment after embarrassment. If they only want to play for the NT because they fulfill contractual targets and/or they are called up because of favours to their agents, there needs to be a complete revamp to how the system works. 0 points and tragic performances against sides such as Scotland and Norway who were always better than us but at least we looked at a close level when playing at home.

I don't know what needs to be done, but this NT is the worst I've ever seen and is on par with NTs like Malta and San Marino. The country's football is being disgraced even though our league is consistently in the top 20.

So you'd prefer if the goal stood even though it shouldn't? Insane...

[–] kampiaorinis@alien.top 1 points 1 year ago

You do if it's an interference because it's something that's subjective and it falls on the ref to say whether it is or not.

The other thread is stupid, the ref gifted Spain a goal because a goal that shouldn't have stood got disallowed on the other end.

And every comment that is literally and factually wrong, is upvoted. Insane stuff
