Bloody typical 

 

their first attack

That, ladies, Gents and the ones in the middle, is why we are as good as relegated.

 

[BotleySaint]

What is the delay with VAR. Clearly players offside and interfering with play. 

[obelisk]

Three players offside but presumably not involved even though they're standing in the penalty area.

[HarvSFC]

Elyounoussi lost the ball on the half way line, Caleta-Car has to take the man as West Ham are countering.

But, he’s excellent off the ball.

[St. Ciervo]

Fingers crossed for not clear and obvious...

[SotonianWill]

who’s checking this ffs 

[Viking Saint]

So fucking soft

[LGTL]

Just the 4 players offside. 

[Jimmy_D]

How they could possibly say none of those are interfering with play…

[YarmSaint]

All started with Eluseless losing possession.

Someone with no brain. Absolutely joke. 

[Disco Stu]

FUCKING CROSSES. PISS OFF!

[Saint_clark]

If this was disallowed on the pitch they can't overturn it based on that as you can't conclusively see where his foot is. Goal shouldn't stand.

[Turkish]

Such pathetic defending 

[obelisk]

Onside.

[Chez]

Why on earth are our two CB's not fucking winning that header...or even challenging the header. Woeful.

[Suhari]

Fucks sake.

[SotonianWill]

embarrassing the way that’s recelebrated. it was scored hours ago.

[adrian lord]

There were four West Ham players in an offside position. Surely they were interfering with play by distracting the goalkeeper at the very least.

[BotleySaint]

How the fuck is that onside??? 

[LGTL]

Goal given, obviously. 
 

WTF was Bazunu doing? He’d might as well have been on the corner flag. 

[Saint Matty 76]

How is Bazunu that far away from a header nowhere near the corner? Holy shit.

[RedArmy]

Clear and obvious? His knee was borderline offside. 

[Jimmy_D]

The cheating ****s were literally holding defenders standing in offside positions.

[The Kraken]

Fuck off with that. Onside my arse. Fucking joke.

[obelisk]

All that fannying around and then allow an unchallenged header. Seen it so many times this season.

[AlexLaw76]

Because the person heading the ball was not offside?

[Nordic Saint]

Well, that was clear and obvious.

[Saint86]

4 players offside, two holding back defenders. Not offside and interfering in play.

 

[Lee On Solent Saint]

Unchallenged in the area from a deep free kick. Utter shit

[FarehamSaintJames]

He was always onside. No one marking him.

How VAR took that long, Christ knows. I’m more annoyed about the re-celebration of the goal, after it was given. All about that time wasting.

You could see it was a West Ham header as soon as the kick was taken.

I think I’ll call it a day now.

[Victor]

,,, of course the 4 offside players are interfering with play!! Which one is Bazunu supposed to know is going to receive the ball?  Absurd.

That was obvious... So why did they take so long to confirm it...?

[hackedoff]

Is anyone ,honestly going to miss this crap ?

[LGTL]

VAR is a disgrace but doesn’t hide the fact we have pathetic defenders and a pathetic goalkeeper. 

[Mr X]

That will be enough for them they can rest up now 

[Archers Road Stand]

Woeful from Bazunu as well. Probably saves it with ease if he doesn't drift over to his right. Pathetic goalkeeping. 

[Saint86]

tbf, West Ham are shite, so this may actually suit us.

[Saint_clark]

You couldn't see his foot and so you can't conclusively say he was onside, therefore the on field decision should have stood and the on field decision was offside.

[Viking Saint]

Pathetic fucking defending. Ball's in the air for an age and he gets a free header, all coming from that useless cunt Elyounoussi giving it away again

[BotleySaint]

They will canter to a win now.

I can only guess, to make sure the knees etc are bring properly accounted for......took way too long

What a surprise 

[Simo is back]

Message to defenders "You can jump for headers" 

[Saint Billy]

Lots of possession with no bite and then the sicker punch.

Yep. Forget the focus on the offside (the scorer was onside so correct decision), the issue was Bazunu stood over near his right post and taking about an hour to dive about 6 inches to his left. 

[Mr X]

Literally all watching him 

[Chez]

Check out DCC's defending for that goal.  He does nothing. Just watches it.  Absolutely fucking crap.

If that's the case then, yep, VAR shouldn't be overturning the on pitch decision...

It’s mental, off the top of my head he did the same on Firmino’s goal. Sure there’s been many more.

He is absolutely woeful.
