Former referee Casarin comes down hard on goal disallowed to Cabral

Reached by RadioRai’s microphones, former referee Paolo Casarin came back on Cabral’s goal in the Conference League. The Fiorentina player’s mark was validated by technology, then the referee reviewed the incident at VAR and annulled the goal.

“What happened in Florence during the week is not only dangerous, but it calls into question all decisions by inches. I simply want to say that, these tools, both goal-line technology and everything else, must be used knowing their accuracy.”

“Every technological system has its own value that depends on how it was built and its complexity. Not all clocks exactly mark the second together, because there are those of one type and those of another. I think we are still unclear about the uncertainty of goal-line technology, that is, whether it sees the half-inch or not and all that VAR then entails,” the former referee concluded.
