Match Day Thread Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

I see Rashford has remembered he's supposed to be a footballer. Amazing what getting out from under a cloud at OT can do for you. Even Antony The Show-pony has banged in a few in Spain.

 

I think villa could still nick fourth from Forest (Man City will get third)

 

That's why they adopt the "all out attack, we'll score more than you" approach. Great to watch too

 

How the hell is that penalty decision overturned for Everton's penalty? Its two clear pulls on Young's shirt

 

The goalkeeper has rickets.....

 

it comes from the excuse they came up with so they didn't have to give penalties due to pulling / grabbing which was " it wasn't long enough contact to warrant a penalty" which has been trotted out 4 or 5 times this season and i assumme the VAR official wanted to be consistent.
All the ones i can remember though were not awarded by the ref and were Var checking after the event so yesterday i can't see what justification VAR had for interfering as it wasn't a clear and obvious error . I did notice that as i've pointed out before when the ref goes to the monitor they never show him pics which do / might support his decision

 

I'd say it's more the fact that young threw himself forward when he was pulled back that hints at their thought process.

 

He didn't help himself with the theatrical dive, but there was a genuine foul committed and VAR is not supposed to re-referee the game.

 

This.

Piss poor to get involved there.

 

In the current days of VAR, this shouldn't matter

 

Cos touching someone’s hip doesn’t make both of your legs fling up and outward. Was a huge dive and should have been booked.

 

Mixed feelings. It shouldn't have been given, but it was. But that ludicrous dive is what Young was judged on, much like Jota last week.

 

Confusion reigns at Arsenal TV as they can't blame it on Liverpool or the FA this time.

 

Forest gone from 1-0 up to 3-1 down conceding 3 in 10mins

 

Now 4:1, they're playing Arsenal next at home. They need to play better.

 

Not lost the plot, just interviewed a dickhead who doesn't know what the word striker means.

 

He said Arsenal have strikers and not goal scores. Very confusing.

 

Newcastle 4-Forrest 3, but not much time left

 

Forest I mean
