Today’s Football 25/26 Season

[zook]

37 replays, slow motion. About 5 mins.

I ask again. Clear and obvious?

They’re just not that good with the remote, clear and obvious when they did finally figure it out

VAR does my head in but this call is absolutely fine

 

[Gilbert..]

There isnt a chance in hell VAR doesn't find a foul in that goal. Its a 95th min corner for a team trying to stay up. Theres gona be jostling. What do they want, everyone standing in single file. That goals given pre VAR. What a shame we cant go back. I detest it.

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.

They weren't up for it much today either, we just gave them goals.

Arsenal blitz that Palace of today

Exactly this.

You can find a foul in any corner.

The scheduling has worked wonders for Arsenal there. Going to look very bad for the competition when Palace rest almost their entire first XI.

….really disappointing decision to disallow that West Ham goal but I think it was the right decision, the arm across the keeper stopped him intercepting and I’d be sure it was done exactly for that reason.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I can't take that decision seriously

 

[neil999]

A WHam player was being held as he ran in with both arms around him if it was not a goal then it was a nailed on pen & oh bed off!

Keepe fouled first

 

[AndyP94]

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

It was soft and just a coming together, but then off the ball at the same time, an Arsenal player had his arms around a West Ham player, running towards the box, why didn't that get looked at?

 

[neil999]

I think there enough comments here to show it wasn't mad to deny the goal

 

[Toffeepot]

I think there enough comments here to show it wasn't mad to deny the goal

The opposite is also true

 

[MACCA75]

Grabbing the keepers arm was just daft tbh, was always gonna be a foul.

 

[hallamblue]

If Arsenal had scored that goal it wouldn't have been disallowed

 

[Librarian]

Lads, I know you all hate Spurs and that is admirable

But

If VAR has a still image of an opposition player holding a keepers arm as he’s in the process of trying to catch the ball…

Then they have little choice really but to bring it to the refs attention, no?

 

[daza_1973]

What's sickening now is the clamouring from pundits, ex refs and all to justify the foul that five years would of been an joyous equaliser moment for a team fighting for their lives.
Remember - "If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." pretty much sums up VAR and PGMOLS conduct every week now.
