It’s not the technology - worked fine in the Euros. Unless shit thick English officials (one of whom was caught recently snorting cocaine on camera) used it. Then it was just as much as farce as tonight.

Import most of our offices bar a couple of the untainted ones clean of Stockley, redundancies at PGMOL and re-start the refereeing system from the grassroots.

If the officials can’t implement it properly it should be scrapped. It’s utter rubbish in its current form.

[Farmer Saint]

If we could defend I think we'd stay up...

 

 

 

 

 

 

But we can't, so we won't.

[skintsaint]

Looking forward to some shitty mistake to lose this game near the end...😅

Picking a consistent back four with players in the right positions would help.

Just to confirm you’d rather be bottom of the league on 4 points than 2nd in the premier league because their fans are a bit wank?

Yeah id rather take the highs and lows of being an actual supporter instead of wanking over the in form  clubs of the last couple of years you fucking din. . Yeah I'd rather be on 4 points rock bottom supporting my home side than be a Brighton supporter. What actual real supporter wouldn't? If you aren't 12-15 years old then you should be embarrassed by yourself you absolute helmet

But other countries, leagues and international matches are using it fine.

The issue is the same as it was pre-VAR. There’s no point going backwards, deal with the incompetence instead.

[Sevvy]

It's about time we scored an injury time winner,

[Farmer Saint]

Aribo has looked very good since he's come on.

It was nowhere near going through his legs 😂

Expand  

Okay, if you want the exact audio description it went between his trailing leg and his arse as he swung his boot at it. However you want to describe it, he was right in front of the goal and he tried to play the ball. He's interfering, he's offside, the goal was disallowed.

The tater said the onfield decision was offside.

Not helped the game one bit imo but take your point about administered better in other countries and competitions. Pile of shite and proven so by how much enjoyment last season without it

Probably.

[Saint_clark]

Fraser's crossing is awful. Getting in great positions and just wasting it. 

[lambtiss]

Both goals stemmed from Dibling. Without him we are toothless

I was at a game in Vancouver where VAR stuck its nose in and interfered unnecessarily.

[Saint Fan CaM]

Sully on for Archer.

[tdmickey3]

We’ve got 5 points at the moment, not to be sniffed at

Can't be.

You see, when you have all the possession, the opponent gets tired from chasing it about and then our freshness pays off after 70 mins.

Or something.

You would rather be bottom on 4 fuckin points than 1 goal from 2nd?

Unfortunately we had a chance to bin the absolute shite last season, but no PL club voted to except Forest. Ourselves included. 

[obelisk]

10 added minutes, most for the ludicrous VAR corruption.

Dibling has a bit of fire in him. Good to see 🔥

Yes, but that was ice hockey.

10 minutes extra time. 10 minutes for us to fook it up? BBD on for Arma.

[Saint NL]

Alan Smith says it the subs that caused the ten mins of injury time. Good job, Alan!

That’s just an unproven theory. It the opponents don’t chase you around then you get more tired than they do.

Well all I can say is that anyone who claims to enjoy Russball must know nothing about football.

Rugby uses TMO mostly very well and cricket DRS. Typical of football to be 15 years behind.

BBD has not won any of his 21 EPL games.

Rusty: put him in!

Offsides are nothing to do with the ref. VAR remit.

Expand  

Why do refs blow for offsides and linos flag for them then?  All off/on decisions should be automatically deferred to VAR by that logic. 

Further, in this incident, Armstrong's offside position per se was not in question, it was whether he was interfering with play. That determination took 4 minutes, and nothing clear and obvious takes 4 minutes!

[Saint_clark]

If he dived then where's the card?

Different sports with different tempos. Plenty of natural breaks so it doesn’t break up the flow of the game so much.

Then what did he give the freekick for cos he didn't foul THB.

If they used it for the obvious error on field it’d be fine but English officials always have to be the star.
