Chaos erupted after the arbitration of Irrati who in Lazio-Fiorentina did not expel Bastos for a bad entrance on Ghezzal and granted a very doubtful penalty to Caicedo for Dragowski’s alleged foul. “But why didn’t the Var intervene?” many wondered. The episode had a development for which the protocol does not provide for the intervention of the Var. FREE PROTOCOL – On the penalty of Caicedo, the discriminant is all in the lip captured by the cameras of the race director of Ravenna, “He touched it, touched it”, in describing the clash between the attacker and Dragowski: this is the element that prevents the Var from taking part and signaling how the Lazio player lets himself fall well before being unbalanced by the Polish goalkeeper. If the Var was conceived to resolve dubious situations but with an obvious error by the referee, Why are there distinctions about cases to be analyzed within the penalty area? Definitely more guilty is the attitude of Fabbri and Mazzoleni in the circumstances that could have led to the expulsions of Bastos, Radu and Parolo in the Lazio home: in particular, the first two were punished with a warning and in cases like these the Var can and must intervene in the face of an evaluation error.-
