Jose Mourinho will be furious with referees again, as the lack of VAR in the Europa Conference League denied Roma two penalties against Bodo/Glimt.
The first incident occurred when the Norwegians were 1-0 up at the Stadio Olimpico.
Stephan El Shaarawy went to head a cross, but it was taken away from him by Brede Moe’s arm.
It would’ve been a penalty if VAR had been called upon, but there is no Video Assistant Referee in the Europa Conference League group phase.
The second happened when the Norwegians were 2-1 up.
Mourinho had already been protesting at referees and decisions that went against Roma in Serie A over the last few weeks.
He complained the officials showed a ‘lack of respect’ towards the Giallorossi and their supporters after the defeat to Juventus, feeling the Jordan Veretout penalty should’ve been retaken due to encroachment.
He then protested at the 2-1 home defeat to Milan, with penalty decisions at both ends causing controversy in the final stages.

Well at least Roma got the offside equalizer in the end due to the lack of VAR, haha
Lack of VAR saved Roma after offside equalizer
Look at the last two tweets, they still didn’t decide this teams’ name. One says Glimt(Scot) the other Bodo(Jacopo).
And they lost 6-1 to them to than draw after going down, twice, home, with the 1st team now. VAR or not, Mourinho is dead. He will try the oldest card, again: take the attention from how bad they are.
That is what is.
And what about that offside….?
Burky… zzzz
Gaz 😥
2-2 was offside as well. Mourinho should count his stars he didn’t lose again!
The article failed to mention that the last goal scored by Roma should have been annulled due to offside. This surly would have happened if VAR was used.
Lol norweigans coms here just to gloat
If that’s true, then the 2 penalties would have offset the “offside” Roma goal.
Roma looks a like team 😳 of serie B . What a disgrace guys. Roma deserves better. No offence to serie B teams.
