Just seen the Brighton / Chelsea non penalty… absolutely fine to kick someone in the head in the box. Thank **** Brighton won.
Clearest penalty that you will ever see. Just seen the mackem highlights. Free kick leading to goal should have been for Forest.
Yeah for simulation. And to be fair, there wasn't any obvious contact, even in slow mo replays. Ref could have just let play go on as the ball was already away. But equally, I don't mind seeing yellow cards for this cheating simulation ****. It needs stamping out of the game. Just means that Sunderland got lucky this time around as the free kick led to a goal. But simulation is simulation. Forest were awful mind.
There was a time the big clubs would win games regularly via simulation leading to penalties, clear offsides, and no contact red cards. In a time when everyone moans about VAR, it's easy to forget why it came in. It's just a bit ott and no matter what happens the media will deliberately pick apart every decision and deliberately create controversy even if it doesn't exist. I've reached the conclusion that fans see what they want to see anyway and they're not reasonable.
Agree. Because of the amount of cheating now (simulation, shirt pulling, blocking off, rolling around trying to get players carded, etc.) fans now literally look for things to shout at the ref about. I recently watched a game on TV with a couple of mates who each supported opposing teams and I was the neutral. Very interesting to observe the crap they were both screaming about, each adamant there were fouls against their own team and each saying the officials were cheating against them. In my view, most of those incidents there was nothing going at all. And I'm sure I do the exact same thing as them when Newcastle play.
We've moved into an situation where literally any contract or foul and people are saying that's a yellow card too. It boils my piss... Sometimes it's just a foul and the rewards a free kick. I still watch Football, but it's not particularly enjoyable anymore imo.. It's just annoying most of the time.
I love football. And it’s natural to be biased towards your own team. Look at Slot yesterday though. Complaining because they lost. Slots been quite lucky since he arrived. He’s not had to properly manage a club from the depths like Howe has. I am super surprised if Manu don’t come knocking soon.
