If the referee sees that 'foul on the keeper' at half time expect Burnley to be awarded a soft penalty in the second half.

or some such bullshit

Gotta say, Leeds are making being a mid table Premier league team look both easy and fun.

Yep, any other player anywhere on the pitch does that it’s a foul/penalty, I find it odd that something like that doesn’t get looked at by VAR but an accidental brush against someone’s foot in the box will be given as a penalty. There’s no consistency in the way VAR is used.

Quite frankly the standard of actual refereeing away from VAR has gone downhill even more since the introduction of VAR imo.

It’s making even neutral games hard to watch, let alone out own. Getting quite sick of it now.

Onfield ref blew too quickly.....if he’d done so after the ball was in the net I reckon VAR would have allowed the goal to stand

As he did blow, VAR can’t review the ‘goal’ as free kick already given

VAR should have looked at whether Mee should have got a pen....if it did, would like to know why it wasn’t given

Almost starting to feel sorry for the refs....it’s getting ridiculous......

Their free flowing style of football would suggest not, ball seems to be moving as well as any other pitch

The pitch is awful and also playing like one.

The two styles of football it's like watching a FA Cup tie on a non league ground of old with an amateur ref.

Say what you will about Potter, at least we're not subjected to Burnley's brand of hoofball.

Give it 2 more defeats and we'll be playing like Wimbledon in the 80s,

I think we’ve discovered our resident Leeds mole - [MENTION=19107]wakeytom[/MENTION] :ohmy:

I am actually very anti Leeds - with my clubs history there is some needle however I cannot deny they are one of the teams I will switch on to watch this season as they are not very often involved in boring games

This Bielsa ball is out of this world isn't it. No wonder the media drool over it constantly.

How I wish that Barnes still played for us :down:

The feisty skilful forward that we are crying out for
