Official confirmation is not a misjudgment! Weber: Pope s defense is clean and has not fouled against Yorke

October 1 News In the new episode of the Premier League referee penalty analysis program, Premier League referee company CEO Weber said that in the last round of Premier League Newcastle vs. Arsenal, Yorke's penalty was cancelled after being knocked down and the penalty kick was cancelled.

Web believes that the referee on duty Gillette failed to discover the fact that Newcastle goalkeeper Pope touched the ball at the first time, and VAR Darren England was correct in intervention and the penalty was cancelled.

Webber's penalty is as follows:

"When running at full speed, this looks like a penalty, right? We can fully understand the penalty made by the referee on the court based on the field sight. He determined that Pope made a trip-man action at the time. VAR then checked the penalty. This obviously falls within the category of retrial, including penalty kicks, goals, etc.

"VAR needs to confirm that there is no obvious misjudgment during the verification process. Through slow-motion replay, you can clearly see that Yorke touched the football first and poked it forward slightly, but the key is that when Pope stepped out his right foot, he also obviously touched the ball and changed the ball's running trajectory.

"The referee failed to notice this on the court. Pope then landed his foot on the ground and did not continue to kick forward towards Yorke.

"After Pope touched the ball, there was a clear gap between the two players, and the subsequent contact was a normal physical collision. Pope's movements conform to the movement rules and are not dangerous. It's just that normal kicking movements lead to changes in the ball path.

"It was only after Pope finished touching the ball that normal physical contact occurred on both sides. Therefore, this does not constitute a foul. VAR's intervention is very necessary. It restores the truth of the incident to the referee. The change in the ball path is very obvious. You can see that Yorke touches the ball first, and then Pope intervenes in touching the ball with his right leg, causing the football to deviate from the original running trajectory.

"When Pope touches the ball and steps on the ground after touching the ball, there is a clear gap between him and Yorke, and no contact occurs at this time. The actual contact only occurs after Pope completes the touch.

"To sum up, Pope's defensive action was clean and neat, and it did not constitute a foul. The key point in this case is that the referee failed to identify Pope's touching action as soon as possible.

"For this reason, when VAR discovered the fact of Pope's touching the ball, it was determined that this was a clear and obvious misjudgment. The referee was able to examine this key detail through the playback screen and make a decision independently. His final judgment was: confirming the fact that Pope touched the ball, so it did not constitute a foul, and the game resumed by falling ball.

"It is crucial that the referee failed to recognize this touch at first, and VAR accurately captured this clear misjudgment. I support VAR's intervention, allowing the referee to see the entire process through the playback sequence, confirming that Pope was just a normal kicking action, and the penalty was correctly cancelled."
