       I take your point about the impression its creates and I find it
       hard to disagree with you. At the same time though it's
       difficult isn't it as they are so often criticised for looking
       at the screen for too long.
       Personally as I agree with the call its probably easier for me
       to defend his actions at the screen, but as a general principle
       I do think that if the referee is happy with what he sees it
       shouldn't matter how long he looks. He was in a good position
       live and obviously didn't see anything at the screen that looked
       at all different from what he was expecting, he's in charge and
       if he's happy then I think you have to accept that . Minimum
       time for an accurate call I guess is the goal, so I can see why
       many will have an issue with this as it seems I'm in the
       minority for feeling he was correct.

       Firstly, I agree absolutely that the final decision rests with
       the on field referee.  However, if a colleague as VAR advises to
       take another look at an incident, I think a referee ought to at
       least consider the possibility, however remote in his view, that
       he's missed something and got it wrong.  It needn't take ages
       but I just felt Kavanagh was making a point -"why are you
       bothering me with this" and to my mind doesn't reflect well on
       him.
       I've not studied it in as much detail as some but I tend to
       agree the penalty was justified.
       I see in the meantime Readingfan has posted a similar view about
       Kavavagh spending so little time at the monitor.

       Fair point about the VAR essentially deserving the respect of
       the referee giving proper consideration of the clips they chose
       to show him, I actually hadn't thought of that and the
       perception a very quick review can create. It is more of an
       aesthetic thing IMO but you are probably right, he should've
       taken an extra moment to consider what the VAR wanted to show
       him.

       Read thro the posts before only now seeing the incident
       The defender has, wittingly or otherwise, tripped the striker by
       being where he was, grounded or not
       Thats a penalty kick, clear as day.   The only issue i see is
       VAR even suggesting the referee reviewed it
       I too would concur with the apparent bewilderment as referee
       being advised to have another look at what is in reality a
       straightforward call.
       A similar clip was doing rounds on a UEFA coaching course around
       ten years ago,
       Does it look. Fair?   Prob not,
       Is it the attacker who is tripped by the defender, in the box?
       Yes.   Penalty kick

       BAFRA . I meant that the VAR process is in disrepute. When a
       respected, experienced VAR suggests a clear and obvious error,
       which I assume is why Kavanagh was asked to look at the screen,
       then that review should be thorough. Your final comments are not
       worthy of this site, IMO.

       There obviously speaks a Liverpool supporter!! I do not support
       either team, just a neutral seeing as it is.

       I absolutely agree with Beryl.
       Trent didn’t win the ball...
       He was tripped, albeit by his Trents head
       In the penalty area
       Only outcome: Penalty.
       Not sure why people are disputing this! The biggest issue here
       is: why has Kavanagh been sent across, there is contact in the
       box without winning the ball. Perhaps this is why Kavanagh spent
       so little time at the monitor as it’s simply a penalty kick.

       You may want to study the statistics for which club has had most
       VAR decisions go against them before you display your bias. This
       forum is for discussion of refereeing, not for criticism of
       clubs you dislike.

       Yes and Liverpool are nowhere near the top for decisions
       against... 😉🙄

       The thing I can’t get my head round here... people scream and
       shout for the referee to “have another look” at the monitor all
       the time regarding big onfield calls, saying we’re not using VAR
       right in this country etc etc.
       The VAR then sends the ref to have another look and he’s happy
       enough to stick with his on field decision having clearly had a
       conversation with the VAR prior to getting to the screen. I
       don’t see the big deal about the lack of time he spends. They’ve
       clearly communicated prior to getting to the screen so why delay
       the game further just to appease every Tom, dick and Harry who
       believe he should spend more time there so as to avoid coming
       across arrogant?!
       What do you actually want? People look for reasons to be
       offended on here and across social media platforms. I fear that
       officials in this country really can’t win most of the time as
       someone is always feeling hard done by whether they get it right
       or check the monitor or not.

       I was initially a bit baffled, but if you watch it after the
       initial contact TAA raises his leg and sweeps it around, and
       that brings down Calvert-Lewin.  I get the argument that he was
       already on the way down, but it looked to me like he was trying
       to stay on his feet and that final action took him out.
       Regardless of what we all think though, there is no way on earth
       it could be described as a clear and obvious error.
