Today’s Football 25/26 Season

[allen]

Definite foul, VAR did its job… and yet it’s still killed the moment.

Even when it does exactly what it’s meant to do, VAR is a total buzzkill.

Bin it.

 

[tsubaki]

True but he's pinned in place by the arsenal player bear hugging him without even looking at the ball or play. So disallow the goal and give the penalty.

he wasnt, that was Todibo (who was fouling the keeper himself)

 

[Walken]

Definately a conspracy against the state owned richest club in the country, don't fear though @DanEFC92 and co will march in the streets to protest the great injustice on the honourable squeeky clean sheik mansour.

How dare they correctly give an obvious foul, first they came for the slave funded fossil fuel barons and I said nothing....

 

[tsubaki]

That could just as easily be raya jumping through his arm
Arsenal do those shenanigans all the time by getting in the way
Its rubbish

read this back to yourself, slowly

I think when the goalie is getting fouled by two different players and the ref hasn’t spotted it then it’s absolutely fine to call it back for a foul

37 replays, slow motion. About 5 mins.

I ask again. Clear and obvious?

 

[marsh]

And this is why VAR is utterly pointless because almost everything is opinion some think it's a foul, others don't so depending on who is on VAR you may get a different outcome unless they want a certain result that is.

My body is a temple

My body is a alehouse

 

[Miked1e]

Intrigued for anyone claiming it’s a foul….

If that happens the other end, do you think it would be disallowed??

Better yet, if that was against Everton do you think it would be disallowed….

I will answer both for you… not a chance in hell it would.

True but he's pinned in place by the arsenal player bear hugging him without even looking at the ball or play. So disallow the goal and give the penalty.

Or just say there's a lot going on, as always at a corner and give the goal

 

[Infernus]

its even more clear from behind:

 

[irishtony1878]

Amazed people don’t think that’s a foul.

Irrelevant what other fouls have or haven’t been given, you can’t grip the keepers arm while he’s trying to clear the ball

Why not?
We had a player forced into a submission with a full Nelson on Monday, corners are apparently open season to hold, push, shove.
Seriously I want every corner placed on the same scrutiny (it won't happen though)

 

[Toffeepot]

read this back to yourself, slowly

Pablo has clearly jumped higher than him
And before him
Did his arm push Raya down or was he there, in the way

 

[Eggs]

Or even a Beto-esque chip into the far corner would have been sufficient.

…goalscorer doesn’t even think about it, naturally where the goalkeeper leaves a gap.

 

[Librarian]

37 replays, slow motion. About 5 mins.

I ask again. Clear and obvious?

Right call though

 

[dannyboy]

Title is done now. Couldn't ask for a better game than Burnley at home next. Then they'll play a Palace B team who play their final just 3 days later.
