VAR

[Bluerover]

I’ve said this numerous times on here! Just yesterday in fact

Has to be looked at as an option, one thing it will do will remove bias from decisions.

Go and let that cretin Oliver ref a Como Lazio game, he probably won’t know any of the players or club officials connected to the clubs. That will be officiated based on what’s in front of him and not in previous stuff because for sure that swings some decisions.

Roma v Lazio better again.

He would need several changes of nether clothing ....

How is Rohl not a pen by the way. The refs not fit for purpose

The refs are fit for purpose, its what the EPL want...

EPL don't want runaway leaders bottom 3 castawat by January, they want as many clubs fighting for something until the very last 45 mins of football, if they can create illusions of competition for the purpose of TV entertainment without totally appearing corrupted, its job done.

And by reading elsewhere EPL productions have nailed it as majority of football followers appear to be sipping EPL productions Brawndo!

That’s what I meant. That’s the rule. But it’s only applied when us, West Ham, Palace, Fulham etc are winning. Not a second of further added time if some teams are winning. They blow to put the losing team out of their misery. When “top” teams are chasing, they are given the chance to have one more attack, one more corner.

I’d love to know when it became a thing that refs can’t blow for full time when a team is attacking. It’s been as long as I can remember, decades. If times up, times up, even if the ball is bouncing around in the box. Crazy they will only blow when the ball is cleared into the middle third.

Not excusing tonight though at all. We managed the game like amateurs.

One particular ref blew for full time as the ball was rolling over the line for us.

Absolutely disgraceful that. I just don’t get it, that happens anywhere else on the pitch I bet we get a free - kick.

I mean he's still on the floor when the ball is over so how is it not a pen?

His whining is a day late and a dollar short as usual.
He simpered to them about 2-3 months ago saying refs have a difficult job etc when he should have screaming about the decision he was being asked about (no doubt another pen not given)

And I'm sure Poll later said in his book he didn't know why he blew the whistle before it crossed the line, or have I imagined that?

 

[Wat Tyler]

How the frig is that pen not given from silva there?

You see Bournemouth getting a pen for free at the weekend, and then you watch Silva do that against us, it’s a joke.

He admitted in his book years later that he got “it wrong.” No worries mate, only cost us a derby win.

He said he panicked, blew the whistle then thought about a reason afterwards
