Today’s Football 25/26 Season

Every corner goal should be looked at in the same way after that, this sort of thing happens most of the time on corners, but because it’s Arsenal and the PL title is on the line it’s scrutinised.

 

[Librarian]

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

The far corner was the obvious choice

 

[tsubaki]

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.

yes and no

VAR is a terrible system but that was a correct use of it - the ref couldnt be expected to see that

 

[DOMNOLAN]

its even more clear from behind:

Surely the bear hug on Tobido means it’s a pen?

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Right call though

On the balance of it yeah, even if keepers are overprotected.

But my issue is its not only used for clear and obvious errors.

It was sold as for major errors. If you watch it again there's an argument for Rice conceding a penalty. Watch it 32 times on slow motion and you can give it.

If you were a West Ham fan you'd rightly be fuming with that decision

One of our players was dragged to the ground on Monday so we have the answer.

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.

Palace play the final just three days later as well, so yeah they won’t be up for it as much as they were today.

 

[tsubaki]

Surely the bear hug on Tobido means it’s a pen?

theres three fouls in that picture

why people think two of them are examples of a conspiracy mystifies me

 

[Taifi gorm]

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

Sure, sure poor trossard just standing there

 

[Victus]

It wouldn't be so bad if they hadn't been getting away with this crap all season.

 

[DanEFC92]

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....

Absolutely crying it in you bullhead.

 

[Walken]

37 replays, slow motion. About 5 mins.

I ask again. Clear and obvious?

Its quite clear and incredibly obvious, personally I hate VAR and would take the odd foul like this getting missed for the improved entertainment and flow. But, if we are having VAR that is pretty much is a perfect use of it.

Yes Rice is holding
I wouldn’t expect that one though

I actually think the keeper probably doesn’t catch it anyway but that’s irrelevant

It’s a daft thing to do from the West Ham player

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

Only out of frustration, though. It WAS a foul - goalkeepers are the most protected of players and Raya was being impeded
