Coote as VAR is a worry.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Wasn't it VAR that ruled out Pervis' goal by 'drawing the line' against the wrong defender?

Edit, I've just checked and it was Brooks on VAR.
Maybe he will feel he owes us? Some chance!

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Oh my word all three are involved in this one, John Brooks, Simon Hooper, and David Coote, three of the worst referees at the top end of the PGMOL in my opinion.

Why do l have a sense of foreboding?

Yep.

brooks was the VAR

Was that also the game where Mac Allister missed about 3 absolute sitters and then Sanchez dropped a routine cross right onto Tompkin's boots?

Perhaps this time de Zerbi will manage to pick a bunch of players who don't make a single mistake.

Well that hasn't happened yet, we routinely miss chances up front, and concede them at the back.

Yes, just like every other team. But somehow the officials are the only ones expected (by some) to be 100% infallible.

 

[El Turi]

Yes, just like every other team. But somehow the officials are the only ones expected (by some) to be 100% infallible.

Of course officials can’t be perfect but drawing the line on the wrong defender is a pretty awful mistake to make.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I've never expected officials to be 100% infallible. Just competent will do.

Five written apologies to the club last season, and a personal visit from Howard Webb, but nothing improves. Brooks was banned for just two games.

You blame De Zerbi, and I will blame incompetence from PGMOL.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Note to self ..mustn’t criticise ref’s as its totally unfair ..in fact must sit in seat totally passive…..

Still good news my understanding is that all VAR staff have been ordered to watch this video and practise…so we should be ok

 

[Simster]

It would be sodding typical if this is the game that our BTTS record run finally stops, and not in our favour - all thanks to another crap VAR decision.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Of course officials can’t be perfect but drawing the line on the wrong defender is a pretty awful mistake to make.

Only pretty awful? it's completely unforgiveable in my book, especially with any potential mistakes in VAR so much in the spotlight at the moment.

I'm not blaming de Zerbi; I'm simply saying you can't look at mistakes made by officials but at the same time disregard those made by the players, on either side.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Drawing a straight line to a player in opposition colours, isn't on the same skill level as having to beat defenders, a bobbly pitch and a goalkeeper.

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

Could have been worse it could have been:
Referee: V.Hilaire
Assistant Referee: D. Swindlehurst
Assistant Referee: J. Cannon

or Ron Challis!

Yep. We were the authors of our downfall that afternoon

 

[Carlos BC]

Coote as VAR is a worry.

Is he as bald as one? Could be a problem for Dunk if he is.
