[Albion] Premier League 2-4/2

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I thought that there was a double jeopardy rule where you can't give away a penalty and be sent off?

Not if you don't attempt to play the ball. If he had slid in and wiped the player out he'd got a yellow as long as it wasn't dangerous.

Can you imagine what it would be like on here if we lost 9-0?

Think Bozza would have to take the site down

 

[Sheebo]

I don’t want to go on about it but I’m really pissed off it wasn’t 10 - how on EARTH was there only 3 minutes added on?!!!

5 goals, 3 subs and numerous long VAR delays in the 2nd half alone - 3 minutes, how?!

Every match these days is the same, it’s ridiculous.

Yep - the bent officials think if a teams comfortably winning they should change the rules...

 

[pasty]

That makes no sense to me. To concede 9. Twice. In just over a year. NINE!
And not against Citeh or Liverpool.

I know it doesn't excuse it entirely, but remember in both cases they were down to 10 men early in the game. The 2nd minute tonight and 12th minute against Leicester. And tonight Utd's last 3 came after they were down to 9 men.

I'm not sure I can share the collective glee at the result here. Firstly, it's the effing Mancs. Secondly, imagine if the title comes down to goal difference. An appalling VAR decision at 4-0 which would have given them at least a slight chance of stemming the tide a bit. An appalling VAR decision over the pen and red card when it was already, what, 6-0? This again from everybody's favourite comedy ref - how he loves the big boys - and everybody's favourite system that's going to solve all the game's big decision-making problems.

We're losing our game here. What a shambles.

I beg to differ:

Pear

Bruce throwing every attacker on and expecting a goal! Really Steve, really? Oh well I prefer it when palace lose but I guess it’s not such a bad result for us given our position at the moment.

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

Under the laws of the game, it's a penalty. He denied an obvious goal, so it's a red.

Not true any more.

Because the authorities and referees need to retain as much opacity in officiating, otherwise they'll lose control of what the results are

And officials don't come any more bent than Mike Dean

Absolutely. But how many times do you hear 'the ten men frustrated them for 80 minutes' etc.
To concede 9 in any situation, even in these mad Covid times, it's incredible.

Totally agree. And I think you can take schadenfreude too far.

I am far from a Saints fan, but I feel for them tonight. The VAR was ridiculous on occasion. After the penalty, Mark Lawrenson on the BBC live text wrote “no, no, no, no, no! How about a modicum of common sense.”

Played wildcard and got rid of him thank god!

 

[Washie]

Not true any more.

If no attempt is made to get the ball, he will be sent off, he pulled out of the challenge, therefore, had o be sent off.

 

[Gazwag]

It would be bad. At least Southampton are used to losing 9-0.

Twice in 15 months as well

If he pulled out of the challenge, meaning he tried to not make it, doesn't that mean that by definition the contact was accidental? Even the Beeb's usual stream of Surrey Mancs are saying that wasn't a pen, still less a red. But Shyster adores the big boys.

Yes.

As usual nowadays the player was already in full flight of his Dive. Never a penalty.

Exactly this. He was diving before the contact because he knew his first touch had taken the ball away from him.
