“Il VAR on the big screen is one of the many things prohibited by the current regulations but possible in some stadiums, let's say...". The president of Genoa wrote this on his social profile X (the old Twitter), Alberto Zangrillo, accompanying the sentence with a photo of Ciro Immobile pointing out the big screen at the Olimpico to the referee Marinelli.
Zangrillo is referring to an episode that happened yesterday evening during the race won by his Genoa against Lazio with the score at 1-0, when the replay of a challenge in the doubtful area that was being checked by the VAR at the time was shown on the stadium's big screen.
According to the rules, in fact, it is possible to broadcast images of dubious episodes and those checked by VAR only after the referee's final decision. A situation that therefore did not occur at the Olimpico, given the check in progress, sparking the protest of the president of Genoa.
