VAR disaster at the UPower Stadium, same problem as the first leg

Rehabilitated after Inter-Verona and Bastoni’s unseen elbow, referee Fabbri – Rocchi’s choice for Monza-Frosinone, was back in Serie A for Salernitana-Monza a month after the mess at San Siro, and then for Empoli-Bologna, he had been sent to Serie B for the very hot Calabrian derby Cosenza-Catanzaro and had returned well to Serie A in Sassuolo-Udinese before being placed on the bench again due to errors in Napoli-Frosinone two weeks ago. He wasn’t entirely convincing in his last outing at the Gewiss Stadium for Atalanta-Empoli but let’s see how he fared at the U-Power Stadium.

Monza-Frosinone, slow motion cases

These are the dubious episodes. First yellow in the 29th minute for Bondo. In the 33rd minute, tension between Izzo and Harroui after a clash: the referee interrupts the game and only warns the two players verbally. In the second half, Soulè received a yellow card immediately after 3 minutes. In the 56th minute, technical problems for the referee, in particular communication with the VAR room. The game resumes after a 5-minute interruption: it will be played without the possibility of using VAR. Last yellow before the final whistle of Monza-Frosinone for Gelli. The curiosity is that the same thing happened on the first leg to Frosinone. There was a technical problem in the VAR room which prevented the slow motion from following the match as per protocol.

In the end, it was decided to continue with the match “with the lights off” and in the old way, without the temporary contribution of slow motion on the pitch. The help of technology arrived again only around the 40th minute but the slow motion went haywire again even at the start of the second half: new announcement from the speaker but without interruptions while on the pitch. In the 43rd minute, when Monza scored the second goal (2-0), to validate it to the referee Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi a connection with the VAR room via telephone was necessary. The headset didn’t work, so the fourth man Marinelli used a cell phone, making use of the collaboration of a person present on the sidelines.
