Baird of the land Posted 22 February, 2020 Share Posted 22 February, 2020 So VAR doesn't even check de bruyne handball. So when its man city or liverpool var suddenly gets shy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Kent Saint Posted 22 February, 2020 Share Posted 22 February, 2020 VAR now is more controversial than the match ref ! It was supposed to right wrongs that were clear and obvious but has descended into farce . If I was a Bompy supporter I would be well angry after today . Have to concentrate watching MOTD to see if it was as bad as described. As said before , big team bias is showing it’s face again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awful isn’t it - imagine having to listen to it for 90 minutes. What was with her stupid comment about Vydra waiting 500 days for a goal and then two come along at once - don’t think that counts when they’re separate games the dopey bint.

Sheaf Saint Posted 22 February, 2020 Share Posted 22 February, 2020 Those 'handball' decisions going against Bournemouth were f*cking ridiculous. Both quite clearly off a shoulder and never in a million years handball. The people operating VAR have lost the plot now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both quite clearly off a shoulder and never in a million years handball. The people operating VAR have lost the plot now. Thought the first decision was wrong but the second one correct. The defender even stuck his arm up behind him to deliberately control the ball. It was more arm than shoulder IMO and a deliberate attempt to block it with his arm.

John Boy Saint Posted 22 February, 2020 Share Posted 22 February, 2020 Just as a brief interlude or aside and no need for another thread, has anyone listened to the latest Peter Crouch podcast featuring Mike ‘bloody’ Dean as well as being amusing quite interesting listening to the most commented on ref in current football. .............and just before we go back to normal the Ian Wright Desert Island discs is worth looking out too. right carry on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OttawaSaint Posted 23 February, 2020 Share Posted 23 February, 2020 The penalty City got today for handball was similar to a few we’ve had turned down this year. I thought VAR was brought in to prevent these sort of inconsistencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Posted 23 February, 2020 Share Posted 23 February, 2020 The Premier League is now about unbelievable sums of money with players earning far more in a week than most football supporters earn in a year. Its made the game all about money with results at Any Cost. Playing football, 'playing the game' is now a laughable anachronism. The outcome is constant cheating. Players know that punishments for cheating don't matter and so do the coaches and managers, who only ever complain about cheating by the other team and are blind about cheating by their own team. VAR was intended to make some difference, but has only resulted in more inconsistency in decisions. One serious area for cheating are the is the attempts to gain penalties. The penalty kick is far too great a reward for many real fouls that happen where there is no chance of a goal from open play. Off the field, cheating by clubs also includes finding ways to avoid the Financial Fair Play rules. The Manchester City case is a rare example of seeing these inadequate rules being tested. The football authorities need to take very serious action to recover our great game from the various sicknesses it's suffering from, but money is at the root of all of them. Sorry not to offer solutions, but they are far beyond any simple football fan. We are just the fodder from which the money is extracted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion getting into Europe would be pretty hard to handle for a club with as thin a squad as ours and lack of cash (or willing) to buy decent cover players. Also not sure we will finish above Wolves and Everton (or Sheffield Utd or Arsenal or Man U), but there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
