Match Day Thread Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Yeah I thought that might have been a pen as defo touched his hand and looked like it was going through to the number 7 but this VAR **** is ridiculous. I still think it can work but needs to be removed and trialled again or do whatever they did in the WC
I think it’s because our refs are arrogant - it is no coincidence none of the English refs made it to the previous World Cup. Ours don’t seem to be able to accept they may have been wrong and stubbornly stick to their decision regardless of the footage in front of them.

 

Horrific. As said, reminded me very much of Cisse's at Blackburn some years ago. I'm wondering why VAR didn't tell him Son hadn't done it though: it's a foul, but it's the way he landed that makes it look bad. And the Everton fans (I understand their hysteria having seen one of your player's legs snap in half like that) were also boing Aurier, as I think they believe he was sandwiched. He wasn't. Atkinson is just a ****.

 

^this

 

Can't believe people are actually falling for PGMOL's plan

The referees are inconsistent morons who can't #sorttheirstoryout or #readtherules but instead of sacking them and hiring competent officials people are crying for VAR to be scrapped

Yeah give these bent morons full control of decisions, #thatwentwell in the past didn't it?

 

Once again VAR not favouring the ‘not top two’ sides.

#calledit

 

VAR was worth 3 goals for Villa; our onside goal disallowed, their offside goal allowed, handball penalty not given

 

Who cares, didn’t stop you from a win did it.

Still would have been used to ensure ‘top two win’ even to add more time to ensure it happened.

 

We're playing against 17 men every week but Klopp is good enough to still win

 

Quite a nerve telling us that VAR favours us after our last couple of games

 

its weird there is narrative that VAR is helping us but i can't see anything but VAR is ****e .

 

Until Saturdays game I’d have said it’s fixed the offside goal rule - and the. Atkinson did what he did and it is now officially useless

 

Awful for Gomes and wish him a speedy recovery.

and I agree with the red card for son. He had no chance of winning the ball. It was reckless, and uncontrollable and it LED to the ankle break. There is no place in football for this and we need to protect players better.

the same happened with Salah and that thug Choudhary. Salah wasn’t as bad as Gomes but it COULD have easily have been the same.

Son isn’t that type of player, we all know, but everyone is capable of these reckless challenges. These challenges won’t always end in horrific injuries but they easily could.

 

to do my best MITO impersonation
lads (sigh) i told you this months ago.

 

Because the nailed-on penalties against Leicester and Spurs on Mane were upheld, apparently. And quite rightly, no matter what ****-stirring Shearer gets up to. We didn't get to hear what Brillo-Head had to say about Mane's against Spurs last week, but I strongly suspect that even though the MoTD 2 panel unanimously agreed it was a pen, he wouldn't, on the basis that a) It's Liverpool and b) It's Mane. But this was the prick who somehow reckoned reckoned the one handed touch in the back by Lovren on Calvert Lewin was a pen (I did too), but the two-handed shove in the back on Mane at Palace after that wasn't. One-eyed ****shaft.

 

me & Astro appeared to be the only 2 people in the world who thought that Calvert-Lewin had chucked himself into Lovren. I almost began to doubt myself . Luckily he did it not long after when the cameras and ref were in line to see he was the one instigating the contact.
Pundits i never really hear as i tend to tape MOTD and just fast forward as experience told me they won't say anything useful . Tbh not sure why people get so wound up about them or the endless chatter on social media.

 

I can't get BEIN with Andy Gray (which is a good reason not too, I think), but I have read the reports of how they swear Atkinson simply moved the lines yesterday to show Bobby was offside, in order to support the on-pitch decision. I did suspected as much on the (GOOD) stream I watched it on yesterday. My first reaction, like the commentators was 'Oh he's on, or level at worst'. Then they moved the ****ing line. It was comical. Point is here, they will always support on-field subjective decisions like Mane's pen against Leicester - at least in this country, but isn't offside supposed to be black and white, objective? What ****ing right does VAR have to fiddle about with the optics to suit the on-field decision? Do they think they're an FA Commission or something?

 

It happened exactly as described. My feed which is the middle east and africa showed the initial lines drawn that showed the knee ahead. We were all like that is a goal!! They were then redrawn and then that formed the basis of the offside call. It looked suspect as fack.

The issue was the lino immediately raised his flag and they had to ensure the narrative that he got it right. If he had kept it down VAR gives it. It has become apparent that VAR is being used to cover up rather than help assist the on field refs

 

Here is the evidence. These English refs can make good corrupt policemen. Line of duty season?
