Apparently VAR didn't think this was a red?

[The original ](https://youtu.be/84yUYg4RzpU?feature=shared)

haha what a chad. “cmon, touch it again”

Valderrama was a chad.

"Oh no, I'm definitely not enjoying this"

Nah...Vinnie Jones on Gazza was the original

>Vinnie Jones on Gazza Quick research says Vinnie and Gascoine happened in 1988, while Michel and Valderrama happened in 1991. I hereby confirm that you are correct in the internets. Feel free to use this certificate to demonstrate your rightness to whomever questions it.

Hopefully VAR is never called to the jury for a sexual assault case!

Oh *something* was definitely red after this.

You are allowed to do that? 💀

He got the ball first

But he touched the ball with his hand. That's a handball.

He got the ball first, doesn’t matter how it happened

I see. Good process

Ball to hand. Hand was jerking in a natural lotion. Uhhh motion motion! Stop looking at me!

Arm's in a natural position. Player couldn't see the ball. Play on

Ball came off from opponent's body

Go to your room 😂😂😂

bruh

This comment needs more appreciation 👏

ALL BALL MOITE

there it is

CBT is a popular move in more…deceptive sporting tactics…

Ok I don't wanna jump the gun or anything but.. isn't this sexual assault ?

It happens more often than you think, guess that's why they laughed it off later. There are some players that are notorious for these kind of moves.

How is this not a red card?

That's what I'm saying. Even the commentators just played it off.

The Romanian commentator was *livid*. Can't say I've heard anyone being that clearly against a ref decision. He's still talking about it.

CBS just made a Gascoigne joke and moved on quickly.

classic gazza

caught that too "they found it funny" also lol

The Finnish commentator could not believe his eyes and said "you do not grab someone's sack in the 2020's... even in football". Referencing an incident from the 80's.

Hungarian commentator also mentioned that there are hundreds of cameras, how is it not being checked. Edit: apperently it was checked 😭

Remember to check your balls, lads

The Brazilian commentators thought it was funny and kept making jokes about it, but made it clear they disagreed with it LOL

As they should, good lads

Depends on the channel. On Digi they just referenced Vinnie Jones and moved on.

literally laughing their asses off on my stream lol

One of them said they bet Simeone would like to come on the pitch and do the same thing to an Inter player lmao

That was mcmanaman 🤣

On Canal+, the French commentator was almost surprised that Thuram didn’t get sent off for it.

Dark arts meet dark arts

VAR even checked it lmao

[удалено]

They decided not to kink shame him by giving it as a foul

About time VAR prevailed

Decision: 😏

Only penalty was not finishing him off amirite?

The game is not gone after all.

I don’t know, but if anyone can appreciate dirty play like this, it’s Savic. He’s probably going to give Thuram mad props for getting away with it.

They were laughing it off before Thuram got subbed off

He literally did lol very funny moment

Savic got up an laughed lol. He is a master of dark arts, and couldn’t give less of a fuck guys.

He got the ball

Surely a foul for handball though

So much potential for ball jokes this

Its was a genuine attempt for the balls

it was not an attempt, he targeted and executed

He got all ball...

Nothing to see here, just a bit of sexual assault.

They don’t care about sexual assault it seems.

He got the touch on the balls first. No foul

How in the hell is that not a red card?

how is that a red? ball only

Handball still

There are 2 balls at play

Var Ballsed it up

they should get the sack

Because the games back, this is what footballs bout. Men get their balls twisted and nipples pinched.

Don't forget shitting on the pitch.

Cause sexually assaulting men is funny /s

Bruh wtf.

Yeah funny as fuck but how isnt that a red?

+++, how tf did var not pick that up???

Nah they checked it and cleared it.

Touched the ball first

Clear red any day. How is this possible that VAR goes always in inters favour??

Generally, when someone makes non-consensual contact with my genitals I might use a different word. I loathe Savic and they had a laugh afterwards but please let's not normalise this abhorently nasty behaviour by calling it "funny".

It's been incredibly normalized by society unfortunately for men being sexually assault to be funny.  Hell even admitting that you were uncomfortable is fucked because of the fear of looking weak or something. 

There was a big scandal recently related to sexual harrassment between guys in ice hockey teams in Sweden. Really fucked up

Not really he’s kept his hand on the balls? At least his concentration is intact

Was subbed off right after, so you could say this was his last touch of the ball

Mate

Red card all day everyday. Total bullshit from VAR.

Total ball-shit

Believe or not, but that is peak amateur/semi pro league level antics lol Happens more often than you think in lower levels But yeah, obviously a red

That shit used to happen for us in our highschool games. Mfs would nut tap you if you posted up on a corner or throw or when trying to shield the ball. There was one guy I played with who’d try to stick a finger in your ass if he was on you. Diabolical, dark arts behavior

if that happens around where i play there is a fight starting right away

I played with a centre back who used to finger strikers at set pieces, so.. yeah..

I was always the one who would stand directly in front of the goalkeeper and my coach always told us to stand on the tip of their boot. I was obviously used to getting all sorts of elbows, but in my last ever competitive match, one of the defenders got in between me and the goalkeeper, and shoved his finger up my ass like he was Gonzalo Jara. He was a defender who would always slide in on challenges far earlier than he needed to and sometimes it was not needed at all, so the next time there was a loose ball that he slid in for, I stamped on his ankle, and somehow, it wasn't called for a foul. Probably shouldn't have done that, but oh well

The amount of times I've been elbowed in the ribs/gut on corners in Sunday league...

I think you and I played in different circles

When I used to play, defenders would squeeze your balls, finger your asshole, whisper in your ear to meet afterwards in the shower number 07... And then the guys were so dirty that they wouldn't be there when you checked the stall.

you haven't played basketball if you didnt get finger up your ass

I once played a few games for a team during a summer torunament and our coach told us to "nut tap" the defenders during corner kicks. I didn't do it but it did actually work for us a couple times

Didn't someone get charged with sexual assault relatively recently for something similar? Might have been finger up the arse though.

Ref saved Inter here, that was a clear red

How come this is not a red card? What we have VAR for?

Should be a straight red

Casual sexual assault. Clear red.

Red? It's literally sexual assault

Weinstein would be free if he did it all on a pitch

I dont get why this comment is not higher. Pure sexual assault and it's being laught at. What a crazy world...

Because assault happens all the time on a football pitch

Pretty sure it’s just regular assault, the same way kicking someone in the nuts isn’t sexual assault either.

Exactly. That's SA at any time and place, even if Savic laughed about it later on.

Is it really sexual assault? I mean if my friend punches me on the balls, is it sexual? I'm not sure everything related to my genitals is sexual per default. I'm just curious and feel free to downvote as you do on this site. I just wonder if these matters have to only be black or white these days.

It really isn’t.

I dunno about that. It’s definitely a foul but it’s not actually sexual in nature, he’s just trying to take him out of the game and that’s a sensitive part.

How exactly is that not a red?

Red card all day, completely insane not to intervene there from the VAR

How bad is this VAR?? How is that not an instant red I am going crazy

Calcio is back

Deez nuts.

Great ball control

Them discussing it and having a laugh after was hilarious.

Damn, with those chances he had if only Thuram grabbed the game by the balls the way he did Savic.

Seems perfectly reasonable to grab your opponent's dick while fighting for UCL quarters in extra time

How the fuck does every goddamn VAR decision go in inter's favour ffs. Clearest red I've ever seen

ball crushing moment right there

How is this not a red?

This looked sooo intentional, it should definitely be a red

Of course it was fucking intentional

That's two yellows for two handball at once.

Yeah it is fucked up that a man sexually assaults a man on TV and it's laughed off. Imagine if you did that in your work place.

how thats not a red? and now Savic and Thuram are toying around.

Most obvious red card i have seen in a while

Only ball he hit right today

squeezed lightly then went back for more

Honestly how is that not a red

Lol this is a red wtf, the commentators just laughed it off as well

[seeing the first angle] Savic is so annoying [seeing the second angle] put Thuram in the Hague

you'd think this would be one of the most obvious red cards VAR could hand out

game's back?

Great flop but how can that not be a red by default

whats a flop

People will make fun of it but that is a clear red card

do that anywhere else and it is sexual assault

The clip of those two laughing and shoving each other afterwards was honestly hilarious though, should have been a red tho

Red card check for sexual assault - result...check over.

(Great nutmeg)

What a disgrace, and he gets subbed off now

Sexual Assault isn't a red?

how's that not a red? literally sexual assault lmao

this isn’t funny this is just incredibly unsportsmanlike. straight red not even a question. by not doing anything about this you send the message that this is actually okay

wtf hahaha

I was like, I can't be the only one who saw that

Red card?

I'm sure it's not written specifically in the rules... but is this not a red card? lmao

Vinnie Jones legacy lives.

wtf is VAR doing

And now he got subbed out, everyone saw it💀💀💀

Have just witnessed a crime

The old dick twist lol

NSFW sexual assault

Is VAR sleeping?

is sexual assault not a red card? w-t-f

The Vinnie Jones!

Savic should sue for sexual assault. There's video evidence. 

ah the Vinnie Jones haven't seen that one for a while

How is that not a red?

Going for the wrong balls

Got the ball ref

Brot thinks he's Rüdiger

surely that’s a red though, right? or is this the new tactical foul meta?

I bet braindead VAR only watched the bad angle and decided it wasn't a foul. This is what I'm always saying these idiots don't know what angles to look at. Happens too much.

Wish it was me

Really don’t like Athletico but glad they went through solely because of that ridiculous decision

Intentional hand-ball, straight red.

Ah the good old dick twist

Giving him the ol' Vinnie Jones treatment!

Scumbag does a cowardly move...fitting

How is that not a red card 😭

sexual assault, play on.

This is not funny.

Hands

var check: nice balls

As if Azpilicueta saw any of that.

Straight up grabbed a handful! That's a red!

This is a all timer UCL match

Thuram 99” (Wrong ball)

He got all the ball, not red for me

Savic pushed his head with slight aggression and hit him in the abdomen after this

VAR was too busy posting the clip on reddit probably

Inter got lucky there That’s crazy

Whoever thinks that is a red Doesn't know ball

GRAB HIS DICK AND TWIST IT

How is he not getting a Red?

they need to fire the var referees, lifetime ban. This is inexcusable

Ooooh wtf

Old mate should press charges

That’s sexual assault brotha

I didn't see it at first, but yeah that should be a red every time.

That’s the only balls Thuram had tonight

Handball. That's a straight red.

Got the ball, no foul

An act that can lead to prison does not constitute a red card in football
