[Albion] Premier League 18-19/12/21

[BBassic]

Chelsea struggling to break down Wolves. Expecting "This has to be the end of Tuchel?" threads on whatever the Chelsea forum might be called.

Take a day off.

how comes the VAR team takes 3 times longer than the commentator to get the same result

I'd guess because if the commentator calls it wrong it doesn't affect the outcome of the game.

Newcastle 28% possession, with no shots on target. Lovely.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Indeed. 7 other teams also "almost lost" against Newcastle. That's the Premier League.

Manchester City on the other hand... very likely wont "almost lose" to Newcastle (though NUFC have started the game well).

Easier than catching mackerel off Brighton Pier

It would be, you’re not allowed to fish off the pier

4:0

You are in a boat

He was wiped out off the ball.

Doesn't make it violent conduct. It was a clumsy slide and no more. I would counter your suggestion and say if that was a red card then the game has gone.

Sure. And I'll bite again. After all there's a dozen posters (most of those who dont want to drown in negativity and trolling have left) on this board who takes every opportunity in every thread to ridicule the club, what would these people do without me? I'm giving you guys a reason to wake up in the mornings!

That’s very considerate of you

Is that the one next to Palace Pier?

the graphic was pretty clear at an early stage.... refs still make mistakes all the time still even if it is not booking/sending someone off (Shaka should have been booked and would have gone with his second yellow) or when corners are given/not given etc.

 

[Eric the meek]

A couple of weeks ago, I thought Chelsea had the league title sewn up. How wrong I was.

That Saudi Investment Vehicle looking shakier every game. Shame innit?

The law states endangering an opponent. Biss last year kicking someone in the head wasn't violent.

It actually says

SERIOUS FOUL PLAY

A tackle or challenge that endangers the safety of an opponent or uses excessive force or brutality must be sanctioned as serious foul play.

Any player who lunges at an opponent in challenging for the ball from the front, from the side or from behind using one or both legs, with excessive force or endangers the safety of an opponent is guilty of serious foul play.

VIOLENT CONDUCT

Violent conduct is when a player uses or attempts to use excessive force or brutality against an opponent when not challenging for the ball, or against a team-mate, team official, match official, spectator or any other person, regardless of whether contact is made.

In addition, a player who, when not challenging for the ball, deliberately strikes an opponent or any other person on the head or face with the hand or arm, is guilty of violent conduct unless the force used was negligible.

Which part of that do you think a clumsy slide from a goalkeeper causing a collision meets? You seriously think it was a excessive force worthy of a red? It was a coming together - not an inadvertent kick in the head,

Assume in region of 28 points needed in 20 games

 

[LamieRobertson]

Good finish by Kane

 

[Swansman]

Liverpool defense looks a little bit shaky any time VVD is missing.

Think they'll turn it around and win though.
