The story about referees continues to "heat up" after round 13 of V.League. This time, the team mentioned is Dong A Thanh Hoa. In just one half of the match at Thong Nhat Stadium last night (February 14), coach Velizar Popov was given two yellow cards by the referee. The second card was an unjust penalty.
While Mr. Popov was "furious" with his students, the main referee Le Vu Linh... pulled out a card to the astonishment of the Thanh team's coaching staff. They approached to react, explain and do everything they could.
However, this action only led to 2 more yellow cards for technical director Hoang Thanh Tung, within 10 seconds. In the second half, 2 more members of Thanh Hoa's coaching staff received yellow cards for reacting.
Mr. Le Vu Linh created chaos at Thong Nhat Stadium.
In addition to the cards drawn indiscriminately, Mr. Le Vu Linh also caused controversy in many other situations. The FIFA-class "black shirt king" missed many mistakes of Ho Chi Minh City players. In Ho Chi Minh City's equalizer, Vo Huy Toan was in a very sensitive position when he passed to Manh Cuong to finish. Mr. Linh spent 10 minutes just listening to the VAR team's advice without reviewing the video himself.
How to apply VAR is the right of the main referee, but the way to handle it needs to convince the teams. In the 65th minute, Mr. Linh and his colleagues took away Thanh Hoa's penalty. A Mit escaped and passed to Ribamar, the Brazilian striker was kicked straight in the leg by a Ho Chi Minh City player in the penalty area. However, Mr. Linh and his assistant blew for A Mit's offside, so of course Ribamar's foul was not counted. The problem is that A Mit... was not offside, it was the wrong decision.
Referee mistakes have been happening for many years in V.League, and there was even a period when the "referees" became the black spot of the tournament.
Dealing with referees who make mistakes is a vicious cycle. They can resign or not be invited to work, get suspended for a few games, then come back and make mistakes again. This is not a punishment.
A typical case is Mr. Le Vu Linh. At the beginning of the season, he only gave Giap Tuan Duong a yellow card when the defender of the Hanoi Police Club tackled a Binh Duong player. This situation was heavily criticized by the public. The FIFA referee was absent for several matches without being assigned a task, then returned and made another mistake.
The common point in each of these loops is that the teams suffer losses, causing the owners who spend tens of billions of dong to support the teams every year to feel resentful. The result of a past match - even if affected by the referee's wrongful decisions - cannot be overturned. No one will return to the team the points that were unjustly lost.
The most compensation that the affected teams receive is an apology and a promise. However, this is worthless when the scandal repeats itself more than once.
