Please give a legit explanation why team Thailand lost two points and does not allow substitutions s

referee unjustified,biased to japan

Not allowing Thailand substitution twice in the match and giving 2 points to Japan as a penalty to Thailand because Thai coach argues about the disallowed subsitutions and that constitutes poor sportsmanship? And since when referee has got the rights to reject substitution? If the game is rigged, why should we still watch it? I wonder if FIVB would look into this match?

This game is unfair.

Just watched Japan - Thailand, women Volleyball Q for Rio. What a disgrace to see that Thailand is not allowed to switch a player at the end of 4 set cause the "Technology" did not work ... I call it CHEATING.

In 5 set Thai coach get 2 cards = 2 free points for Japan cause Thailand was leading too much ... ?

Seems like FIVB support these corrupt referees that was a disaster to watch - hope we dont have to see these idiots in any more games or I will def not be watching ...

Shame on FIVB

Volleyball is sport.
We need Fair Play for every game.
No Pride for unfair victory.

Unfair game !

Very bad game. I hope has new petition

Wrongdoing of referee by giving 2 unfair red cards to Thailand team during Japan vs Thailand match. The starting point was the problem with newly-introduced electronic system, touch screen tablet. Thai team found that the system was unstable when only Thai team pressed "Challenge", "Change" (substitution) buttons. Then, according to the rules, Thai team used traditional process. BUT many attempts were rejected by referee, Mr. Luis Gerardo Macias. Please see the game during 4th and 5th sets, there were clear errors that had evidence that referee and his asst. can clearly see (Jspan setter's body crossed the half court line for feets while ball in play. Thailand coach, Mr. Kiatipong Ratchatakriengkrai pushed "Challenge" button but no response. He and Captain Pluemjit Tinkaow then approached referee for explanation. BUT referee saw that as "time wasting" and gave 2 red cards to Thai team in late Set 5. Thai team led 9:3 in set 5 but Japan came back. Thai coach again pushed "Change" button for changing players, and again no response. He then used the traditional way but referee rejected the substitution request claiming the e-system difnt show the request on his screen. It was right for Thailand to approach referee to explain that the e-system was mslfunction. The penalties caused Thai players to lost concentration and poor morale while boosting confidence to Japan team. The last penalty point gave Japan the matchpoint. Thai team didnt fiercely protest or did tactical protest for time wasting. Just want to play fair game and protect the right against referee's wrong judgments. Why the system problem never happen to Japan team. We can suspect that there was a conspiracy or corruption there. Thai team deserves to win that game.

I love thailand.

No spiriit:( ,japan

You are tricky ( japan)

1. The technology is controlled by Japanese Officer.
2.The Mexican is idiot and make wrong decision.

IT is not fare

The referee is too serious and refused to listen the delayed problem created by the computer system. When the request to either challenge the previous played or exchange player, the computer system was so slow to send the signal to referee.

And to give the RED cards plus to favor Japan team with additional 2 points because of this system malfunctions were NOT fair.

Japan no spirit

I think japan is cheat

not fair. !!!!!!!

I don't really watch the match, but I demand to know the truth about what happened during the game. If comittee won't allow both team to change player then announce before the game start.

Why Team Thailand Lost Two Points

cheater Japan

I accept defeat if is fair play. But I am sure it is not for thai volleyball in this match.

On fair games, at least they should accept the protest or to hear the comments from either side.
