So, another team battles well against one of the big boys but comes up just short. Sounds familiar. So although a frustrating game on Friday we get a point more than West Brom, Sheffield United and Fulham, and obviously the same as Burnley. Still an opportunity lost, but not a disaster, especially when home advantage is minimal at present.
Looks like another grind this season when every point will count. However, did we genuinely think it would be anything different.

Good point well made.

Remember when penalties used to be a rarity when referees where actually in control of a game? I feel like if anything the decisions are getting worse with VAR, that penalty and Leeds disallowed goal yesterday, in the past nobody would have batted an eyelid at either.

I can’t understand why VAR slows the replays down so the incidents look worse and distorts reality.

The initial instinct of the ref and linesman was spot on, the Wolves player couldn’t do an awful lot to get his hand out of the way.

I can understand why the ref overturned in slow motion but play it in real time that’s the only way to get a replay of what actually happened.

It’s at least 3-4 ridiculous decisions a week now but still it stays altering results and ruining the game. It’s becoming more about who gets the rub of the crazy decisions than who plays the best.

None of the “big boys” are playing well - all there for the taking

Just about everyone involved in the game, apart from the referees, are criticizing the inconsistency and stupidity of many of the decisions. Is anyone involved in the implementation actually reviewing these decisions and trying to improve the application of VAR or are they satisfied with this absolute b0ll0cks.
