[84883] New claims regarding the disallowance of controversial goals in sports broadcasts
Social media reports claim that goals by the Iranian national team and the player Nemati were unjustly disallowed due to incorrect decisions by the VAR system.
Claims of refereeing errors in VAR systems
In the last day, claims have surfaced on social media from Iranian sports channels that decisive goals were wrongly disallowed by the VAR system, due to a mistaken claim of offside.
According to the channel جام جهانی فوتبال Sport Bad News, it concerns a "wave by the Iranian national team that was wrongly disallowed due to offside" and that according to them, it was a "completely legal goal." This channel focuses on sports reports and criticism of refereeing decisions.
At the same time, the channel کیری مهم اسپورت Kiri Mohem Sport, known for its provocative and critical style, published a similar claim regarding a goal by the player Nemati. The channel went further and claimed that the disallowance of the goal is not merely professional but is related to "US politics." These claims, which combine conspiracy theories with sports reports, constitute a marginal but consistent narrative in channels identified with entities critical of international decisions in the field of sports.
