Match Day Thread Southampton v Aston Villa Saturday 30/1/2021 8pm Sky Sports

That’s the problem when you stop the game and over examine everything to the point of absurdity. Much better imo to let the officials make decisions in real time, using their eyes, their experience and their judgement.

 

You see it your way. I see it mine.

the fecking refs don’t know half the time so how you think one of us knows better than the other.

you can keep coming back at me Schad. It’s a ****ing penalty in the game I love

 

He's not - he's trying to help explain why the decision was given.

It's annoying for all of us, but Tom's completely right, VAR merely tries to help implement the laws of the game

 

Anyhow, we’re playing really well. They’re defending really well.

One day, when we find our scoring mojo, we’re going to give a team a serious tonking.

 

Armstrong looking our best player so far.

 

Well no because that would come under deliberate handball.

 

So, you’re telling me that if by some miracle Mason had given a pen, VAR would have overturned it because it was a clear and obvious error? Because they wouldn’t have, and you know it.

 

So if cash catches it in that hand its not a penalty. Lol

 

Save!

 

It’s clearly not doing that though, so it should be binned off pronto.

 

I'm not "coming at you". I'm pointing out that they made the right call based on the rule as currently constituted, because they did.

 

No because that would be deliberate handball.

 

Went to sleep at that throw in

 

I’m not seeing that. He’s been good, but several have. No one above on their own so far for me

 

I'm glad I'm not on my own on this one!

 

It may not have for you but if you think that's true for everyone then you need to open your eyes mate. It won't be covid keeping fans away at this rate.

We managed for a century with accepting mistakes and getting on with it. It wasn't broke and by attempting to fix it they've broken it to the point that it's turning people away from it.

It's not football anymore.

 

I saw a deliberate hand ball a few minutes ago

 

Just a thought.

Without VAR we don’t get that penalty either, because that useless lump didn’t see it, so...

 

What if we lose by 2?

 

Ducking crap
