Following the 2-2 draw between Valladolid and Elche tonight (Tuesday), the main topic of discussion on social media between fans, football fans in Spain and even media people and prominent figures in the field is the matter of the disqualification of Sean Weissman’s goal. The Purple-Whites striker scored a shrinking goal in the 62nd minute before his teammates managed to equalize the double lag, but his goal was examined by the VAR men and the referee, and was eventually disqualified on the grounds of his hand touch.
This created a storm with a host of angry tweets about the constitution in general and the referee’s decision in this game specifically. Some fans even noted that this is the fifth time that the VAR system has been working against Valladolid, and this time the victim was an Israeli.
The main argument was that Weissman’s touch, if there was one at all, only prevented an own goal and prevented the ball from entering the net faster. Prominent tweets written on the subject: “Shame that the goal was disqualified”, “Whoever disqualifies such a goal does not understand football”, “What do you want, that he will tear his hand out?”, “One of the most unforgivable things of the VAR this season. No reason to whistle” , “Conditions for the following acquisition players: to have only one hand”, “The goal was disqualified because Weissman failed to make his hands disappear.”
The VAR is sure to pass the game in the #ValladolidElche Orellana did not pay a penalty that was due to the referee not interpreting as well as Weissman canceling a goal without the power to make his braces disappear. Football is very small and does not exist. # LaCasadelFútbol pic.twitter.com/QaqfRw7bei

Vale que nos han hecho dos goles con faciladad, pero el que nos hayan pitado un penalti y que ahora nos annule el de Weissman xq tiene la mano apoyada en el suuel cuando remata Barragán también nos quita optionen eh?
Requirements for proximity sheets: que sean mancos.

#DATE The goal scored by Weissman is the FIFTY action in which Valladolid is being prosecuted for VAR’s intervention in this League. Sólo el Betis (6) lleva más.

WeQuweiss Weissman’s goal at the marker by mano is not the fault of the VAR Sino of the new regulations created by FIFA through IFAB

Nada Weissman felt that he had arranged the mano for not canceling the goal eh, vaya árbitro

Yes, but this is another theme. This should be something that the Board of Trustees has.
Hoy, with norm in mano, el árbitro ha pitado lo correcto. Although the norm is a murder, because weissman’s mano, no deberia is pitada as mano.

Nos han robado. Ni norma, ni mierdas.
The balloon went to goal Weissman or no. Es gol en propia puerta.– El Deporte Vallisoletano Post COVID-19 (@deportepucela) January 19, 2021
The only one that went to the ball in the 2-2 is weissman. How can I have 9 others who comply with an empathy? Quito a masip por obzias obvias.

We were empathetic because of a balloon that was sitting in front of a judge from Elche he had to pay at least Weissman that he was standing on the couch. Can make a list of cases 19 teams to those that the haberdas below the marker. Viva el VAR
