Why only go to the monitor to look in slow motion.

Shirley the ref still needs a real time perspective.

Anyone see the sending off? Sherwood thought it wasn't a red. I do wonder if send the ref to the monitor = automatic decision which makes a mockery of it.

Exactly. I don’t think I’ve seen a ref go to the monitor and stick with the original decision. It’s just a pantomime.

Yup. Plainly "you'd better have a look on the monitor" is code for "you daft kunnt, you've fudged that, go to the monitor make out you are looking carefully, then go and change the decision".

I see Ajax has just shaved a close one.

Although with 3 minutes plus injury time, it's not over just yet.

I am well aware. Sorry I will stop taking the shine off your little bit of glory in the top division

I, for one, will never forget you being a dick in threads when we were trying to get to our "little bit of glory". Not sure you are in a position to take the high ground when you are posting on another club's forum whilst your team are playing a home game

I dont think a home game means much at the present time

This is why they decided not to bother with the monitor in the first place. Just causes more delay and appears to be completely pointless as they're under so much pressure to make the stoppage worthwhile by altering the decision.

Haven't seen it so I am interested what people watching thought. It seems to have flipped from VAR not wanting to overrule the ref to the ref not wanting to overrule VAR. Pointless.

It should have been 4-1 but a wins a win. It makes up for the unjust lose of the 2 points last week.

I saw the cheating bstard Batshuayi compliment last week's travesty.

He loses possession and falls over, as the Fulham player goes to take the ball away, he grabs the ball. Ref then inexplicably gives a foul to Batshuayi. The Fulham players were aghast.

I seriously wonder whether these refs could get any worse. They continually reward cheating.

As Potter seems to want us to be a nice team, we are going to fall further and further behind and teams like Palace are going to benefit.

McTominay hauled down in the area with more force than Lamptey on Batshit last week; no foul given #consistant

Ryan would get ripped to shreds on here if he'd just done what Mendy did











justifiably too
