In the game when Chelsea lost to Brighton 1-3 at home, the penalty of the referees Simon Hooper and VAR became the focus, causing huge controversy. Former Watford captain Dee Ni was confused about the referee’s performance in two key events and lashed out at the time of serving as a commentator.
How do you view Charoba's red card and the referee's penalty process?
It's been three or four minutes, and then they're calling him to the screen now. It took him another two or three minutes because he watched the same picture 67 times. Brother, make a decision! When they say it's a 'intentional scoring opportunity', if that's so obvious, why don't you judge in the beginning? Why does VAR ask you to watch the screen? You looked at the screen 27 times before you said it was intentional. To be honest, these referees need to cheer up. I like Simon (Hopper), but you have to cheer up.
Should Gusto be awarded a penalty in the end of the game?
That has to be a penalty kick, see how high his foot is. Gusto has been awful since he was on the court.
(In the 87th minute of the game, Chelsea defender Gusto lifted his foot too high in the penalty area and was suspected to have kicked Minter. However, after VAR review, Hooper did not award a penalty.)
This is crazy. Can you explain it to me? If this action happens outside the penalty area, he will definitely be awarded a foul and show a yellow card because it is a dangerous action.
