Match Day Thread Leeds v NUFC

Corruption at its absolute finest.

I’ve been thinking. It hit his thigh. JUST. But so what. It still hit his hand and it was going in.

So why isn’t it a penalty still.

So many VAR decisions go against us.

Yet Liverpool get them week in and week out.

 

Yes mate .. I feel like a win at Leeds might be enough

 

Had the pen been awarded
It would also meant that the player would have to be sent off

 

City were hammering Leeds, until that stupid penalty that Haaland passed up....sadly that result will give Leeds some belief going forward.

On paper we're much better than them, and we can easily come with any long ball crap Fatty tries to throw at us, but don't get cavalier like City did. Dominate midfield and we'll win it, Leeds's defence is bad.

 

Still have to play Villa

 

It will be a tight game with Allardyce in charge but I think we'll have enough to win it.

I'm ****ting myself because I could really see us collapsing away to them.

I still see us beating Brighton, Leicester and Chelsea though.

 

It was the correct decision. If the ball comes off a defenders body onto his hand then it's interpreted as accidental.

 

and on the other hand (no pun)
when it accidentally hit Calum Wilson's arm (deflected by Ivan Toney, Brentford game) , it's a handball

 

Big game this like innit, **** sake.

 

not really, for once we are not in the mire with the rest of the relegation fodder

 

Are you sure?
Are we safe now?
It doesn't feel right, we still have 4 games to play.

 

Yep that's correct - any contact with an attacker's arm in the immediate build-up to a goal, even if accidental, is treated as handball.

 

The issue is the fact it wasn't a clear and obvious error from the ref....VAR chooses to ignore that when it suits.

 

I know that, but you can see why a lot of people who don't know the 'Laws of the Game' get easily confused
sitting where I was with my son and brother, we all shouted handball even though his arm was by his side,
he still leant into the ball making his body bigger that is what the ref would have seen and gave the pen for
to take over 2mins for VAR to check it and send the ref over to the monitor means it wasn't a 'Clear and Obvious' mistake
the VAR ref must have micro-analysed the incident to take that long, the ref for his part, took another minute to review it
VAR wasn't meant for this sort of fine details it was for 'Clear and Obvious' mistakes - not to re-referee the game (this is what I've been told)

they looked at Isak's tackle at Brentford for ages, although the ref had said no penalty
they could not be sure for certain that Isak had actually fouled him or he had fouled Isak
but they eventually got to the decision of giving a pen after 3 minutes

 

remember the days when we would be biting our nails from Christmas till the end of the season

 

If it takes more than 90 sec to make a decision via VAR then the original decision should stand

 

it took less than a minute for the VAR ref to chalk off Willocks goal against Crystal Palace at Home

 

Agree with the principle but would reduce it to 60 seconds. If you can’t see the referee has made a clear and obvious error in 60 seconds then it’s not clear and obvious.

 

So if it does the same for a striker is it a goal or not?

It’s a stupid rule and can be manipulated to get the desired outcome.

 

Bonkers rule and simply open to manipulation.
