[Albion] Premier League 16-19/8/24

[Washie]

looked offside to me the first goal. the pass to salah. didnt even look at it.

Player in the middle kept him on, Salah was behind the grass line, defender was ahead.

 

[Eric the meek]

I'd like to compare the stats for the two halves. It's like two different games.

 

[Marty McFly]

Is wrong to want Ipswich to fail miserably this season?

That would be Perfect, just Thinking Out Loud

I normally love an underdog story, but there’s something about Ipswich I just can’t get on board with.

Same, didn't expect myself to want them to get trounced today but here we are.

 

[Flounce]

Welcome back to the PL Ipswich

I hope to find we dodged a bullet being turned down by their manager, Jim Gannon style

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Blimey after saying they looked OK they could have gone for 10 this half

I also felt similar about Norwich in the Prem. Maybe I’m against eastern angles.

I think the weird banner thing turned a lot of us against them.

Could be you're unconsciously biased against tractors and canaries!

Oui!

 

[Weststander]

TAA’s passing and crossing throughout was sublime.

Are you saying he's an extractor fan?

Horrible injury for Danilo of Forest early on. Possibly from one of those passages of play that everyone knows is offside but they have to keep running until the phase is over. If that is the case, they'll be fuming (I know Forest are always fuming with officials, but even more so).

Schär of the Saudis sent off for a relatively minor butting of heads with Brereton-Diaz, who dropped like a stone in a quite impressive display of theatrics.

Sue Smith (Everton fan and match summariser) on Soccer Saturday has just informed us that Minteh has been outstanding in our game, which will further please the Saudi fans.

 

[Quebec Seagull]

Lots of hit posts and how-the-heck-did-he-not-scores, today. AV's Bailey with a howler that managed to combine both.

That’s just not a penalty and nothing can convince me otherwise, if you get your toe on the ball then get the player that’s NOT a foul, unless excessive force is used, which it clearly wasn't

wrong decision but VAR didn’t interfere because of the even more subjective ‘it wasn’t that obvious’ nonsense that we are going to hear everyone arguing about all season

 

[Pavilionaire]

I don't care who wins this match but that was NOT a penalty.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Indeed. I was watching on mute, whilst having a small Saturday evening dance, saw the replay and jived with a pen-cancelling motion. I then did a tantrum dance as i couldn't believe the penalty decision stood. Stupid decision.

 

[The Wizard]

The pundits on Sky back the penalty decision as it was the referees decision?

It’s wrong, simple as that, the VAR official said it wasn’t a clear play at the ball? Baffling stuff.

 

[Frutos]

Love this.
