not our matic replacement. That mantle is drinkwater, you know part of the PL winning duo of 15/16 :bandit:
 
I don't moan about refs but how the **** did he miss that.
Doucoure :emoticon-0183-swear

Same I don't normally like to moan about officials but that was ****ing appalling.

Absolute joke that no official picked up on that... Should be demoted next week.
 
...but the real point is that both you and Swansea have been 'cheated' out of 3 points ... and when you add up what staying in the Premier League is actually worth ... personally I'd much rather see the 'right' decision being given <ok>

Watford apparently had a stone wall pen turned down too so not necessarily.

The point is our officials are woefully inadequate.

Just seen it on motd.

Blatant handball. Yes, the linesman should have seen it. But VAR would have sorted it in seconds.

Result: Southampton lose 2 points that could very easily be the difference between relegation and staying in the Prem.
 
VAR won't solve everything. It's still down to interpretation and the ref gets the final say...

Yes the Watford goal would have been disallowed but a lot of other decisions it won't necessarily get spot on.

I like the controversial point's and don't like the plans for VAR.

The ref has other officials around the pitch so it's about them working together to get it right. It's the officials that need to improve imo not be replaced... soon robots will referee games.

Agree. Things like that yesterday will and I think offsides are pretty clear as well. Diving will be the most difficult to interpret

Too much involved nowadays not to get as many right decisions as possible, IMO.

But we’re never gonna agree.

I do wonder how Libby might feel if those lost 2 points send his team down this year!

It'll be like nfl and we'll get ****ing adverts while they consult the screen.

Not for me thanks.
