2019/20 - Other Games

[Batman]

Looked similar to me as the Keane penalty yesterday, how is a defender supposed to stop something like that? Never kick the ball, Mane comes from behind him, Aurier is looking at the ball and is trying to kick it and Mane just blocks his leg in the way.

 

clear penalty to the "there was contact" brigade which meant mane "was entitled to go down"

Exactly, they realize they are in no position to shoot or pass so try to get contact and then go down. What’s a defender supposed to do?

[tajjuk]

Thing is Aurier is in possession of the ball, so how can Mane be fouled if Aurier has the ball and is trying to kick it, if anything its a foul the other way.

 

We basically now have attackers either throwing their body at defenders to get contact or kicking the ball at defenders hands from like 3 yards away and getting pens for it.

 

And VAR never over turns these silly decisions.

Nice watching the Liverpool Arsenal game without VAR.

[whelk]

7 goals in 57 mins

[John Boy Saint]

Wow what a game the Liverpool v Arsenal game is - both teams stuffed with nippers, both teams playing at a million miles an hour, and goals galore. Some absolutly cracking strikes

Yeah was hoping it would be capped with red card just then

[Shroppie]

Nine goals in the game. Can't remember when I last saw that. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23] (Make that 10)

Ole’s at the wheel!!!

[striker]

So does anyone else feel just a little sorry for Man United? Nah, me neither.

[Baird of the land]

It’s always fun to see utd lose

[Baird of the land]

Finally mane getting a booking for his horrible diving

[whelk]

I need to re-evaluate every week who is going down.

Only seems like Norwich at mo

[whelk]

That stat - only 8 times City haven’t had shot on target in first half in Pl under Pep. 4 of those have been against us!

Was there ever a more obvious end to the Liverpool and City games? Wish I'd stuck money on that when it was 1-1 and 1-0.

[ALWAYS_SFC]

Jammy Scouse basta rds

Jammy scousers ffs

Put £50 on city, liverpool, Brighton and Sheffield united all to win - cashed out as soon as liverpool equalised to earn my stake plus 10% back and that ****ing happens. Scouse ****s.

[Dark Munster]

Why all the hatred for the Scousers' win? Villa losing only helps us in the relegation battle.

I'm fine with it. Just saying, it was quite blatantly going to happen.

Indeed. Hate not wanting teams to beat the Big 6 but reality is every point they drop to others hurts our chance of survival.

[whelk]

How the fck does the xG stat work? Just watch Newcastle and should have be 5-0 up at HT. xG gave them 1.56. Baffling

[davefizzy14]

Come on Tottenham today! Hearing Kane is a doubt, sincerely hope not.

[LGTL]

Not sure Sky have mentioned our drubbing last week enough yet. Only about 30 ****ing times so far.

[Heisenberg]

Leicester must regret sacking Puel.

[davefizzy14]

Tottenham 1 up Dele Alli. Good news

[Heisenberg]

Using some of today's profit to jump on a Silva sacking.

 

Evertons recruitment has been terrible, but it's a results business and he must be close.

 

I wonder if they will look at our manager again?

 

Do the right thing Everton...

[whelk]

VAR is so fcking sh1t and only cnts like it

[Heisenberg]

Took ages to decide that a penalty wasn't a penalty.

 

Bit of luck for us, but another VAR farce

[tajjuk]

Want to reiterate how crap West Ham are, that is 1 point out of the last 4 games where they have played Palace, Sheff Utd and Newcastle at home and Everton away.

[Heisenberg]

Oh that's horrible

[whelk]

That looks absolutely horrendous- every player reaction says it all. Son absolutely devastated

Should give them 20 seconds and if not clear stick with what ref gave. Over 3 fcking minutes to review

[whelk]

Also how the hell did a yellow just become a red just because the injury is bad? Son didn’t snap Gomes’s leg he fell into Aurier

[whelk]

Carrgher squeals “c’mon Everton make it 2-1”

Nothing more than some bias scouse cnt in the stands

Yeh was no where near a red !

[Shandy_Top_89]

Atkinson in general had an absolutely dire game, it was almost worthy of investigation it was that bad. I mean you have to also consider the implications of that red card beyond just the game. Son will possibly be blaming himself for that injury now when he shouldn't be. It also increased the volatility of the crowd towards him and he will no doubt be spammed with death threats and the like on social media. It was seemingly altered to a red on a flippant illogical whim. Its not as if he couldn't refer to the technology if he was uncertain.

 

As for VAR, it needs to remain. The issue is the guidelines and the quality of the officials reviewing, that will improve over time. That penalty non decision was a right mess though.

[Batman]

the continued disgraceful officiating continues in this league

Another not so bad thing about being relegated

The refs in the EFL are just as poor.

 

Its just that its not talked about as the PL understandably dominates the media.

Michael Oliver reviewing today, widely recognised as our best referee. Just maybe, VAR is actually ****e? Rather than removing cheating we now have more diving than ever.

Na his own personal performance was below par in that case. Any increase in cheating can be halted by changes to guidelines, this is more down to the quality of officiating and the quality of those in charge of the rules than anything else.

 

Video tech is becoming another irrational scapegoat, once it is scrapped it wont return. What will be our answer to the ****e quality of officiating then?

The idea they would have the worst refs in the top league is just

[Baird of the land]

After listening to 5live i was expecting the Everton penalty appeal to be some burning injustice.

It wasn't it. Accidental defensive handball hasn't generally been treated as penalties this season. So VAR understandably didn't award a penalty.

Need to get rid of VAR though. Delays the game and idiots will try and force its use as a subjective inconsitent rereffing tool.

 

I don't agree with the reasoning for the Son red. Looking at the result of the tackle to decide to upgrade the card is wrong imo.

I wouldn't have minded it being a red because it was a nasty revenge hack.

[Lighthouse]

Son's red card has been overturned. At least someone involved in the Prem is capable of watching a replay five times and figuring out the bleedin' obvious.

[ChrisPY]

Chelsea v Ajax is good fun

[qwertyell]

It was overturned by an independent panel. The Premier League tried to justify the red card.

Norwich v Watford tonight means we'll drop a place this evening regardless of the result.
