Bad ref decisions - for and against - season 2025/26

[brownmola]

This should be taught at Finch Farm, knock the ball away if you are behind the striker and it bounces up or a cross comes in the box. Mental VAR decision.

 

[Bluerover]

Please don't go down the road of deflecting the attention from where it should be.

Yes, the non-decision was rubbish and yes last week was an incredibly poor officiating performance but....

these players and manager are absolutely pants at stepping up when necessary.

Let's not soften that assessment by pointing to idiotic refereeing when the performance of our beloved players has been so poor, especially for the final hour last week and basically all of this week.

 

[Houghty19]

One of the more laughable decisions from VAR in it's complete and utter ineptness. Apparently it's a penalty if the ball is hammered at you from 2ft away and it hits your arm but you can literally punch the ball out of play and it's not. I give in.

 

[Osamabindiesel]

He didnt mean to hit it though, while he was grappling our player

And they somehow got a goal kick from it

All you can do is laugh

 

[Moomin]

There is probably money in it. Sports betting. Not a crazy concept.

I can buy that.

 

[Gibbo1976]

Absolute disgraceful decision...again. It's now ok to slap the ball in the penalty area as long as you are grappling...its like watching WWE now

 

[Bebeto]

Yep....referees and especially var don't like us very much...

 

[Osamabindiesel]

I can buy that.

You bet on Spurs or West Ham?

 

[Victus]

 

[Dario Terracotta]

Sick of this,week in,week out,,why don't we just take the hit and list every single game changing decision back to Tarkowski in the Leeds opening game and call this bent shower out?

 

[zook]

Would love to hear the communication between VAR and the ref for that handball, can’t fathom what they’ve conjured up in their minds to not give that as a penalty

 

[Osamabindiesel]

He makes a literal ball punching motion! And it is on camera! He is caught in 4K!

 

[Benicetoourboys]

Need to refuse to shake hands with these bent officials, & start calling them out.

 

[Bebeto]

Sick of this,week in,week out,,why don't we just take the hit and list every single game changing decision back to Tarkowski in the Leeds opening game and call this bent shower out?

Yep...everton is the pl guinea pig...we get all decisions first, then they realise is not fair, so they change the rules part way through it.

 

[Look to the future]

How ca my VAR not think that's a penalty.

I'm close to walking away from this so called sport.
