[Football] Tonight's Officials/VAR Thread

[Eeyore]

Yes, your eyes aren't deceiving you. I'll start the thread.

It's hard enough getting a hiding from a team as good as this, but tonight's officiating really hasn't helped.

Can't defend this one.

 

[A1X]

For me, the Gross one has the foul outside the bix

The Pedro one is a terrible decision, absolute bottle job

 

[The Fits]

The whole thing isn't fit for purpose.
It's every match now.

 

[ROSM]

For me, the Gross one has the foul outside the bix

The Pedro one is a terrible decision, absolute bottle job

It continues into the box so can be given as a pen

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Absolutely a disgrace and the league is corrupt af. Hand ball CLEAR as day. Pen on Pedro. Clear as day. Ive left. Rarely leave this early. Whats the point. Hassocks season ticket more and more appealing by the season.

 

[Mellotron]

HIlariously bad. Not that it matters.

That Pedro one was utterly ludicrous.

 

[Husty]

Piss poor, just atrocious. From start to end really. Thing that pissed me off the most was not booking Walker for taking about a minute to give someone the armband when it could have just been thrown or passed

 

[Alwaysblue]

He literally doesn't know the rules, 1st half right at the end. Offside to us, lino stands where it should be taken and the ref telling dunk to move the ball back!

 

[BevBHA]

Tinpot thread. We’ve been shit.

 

[Weststander]

Albion players shit, really shit, relegation shit. But the old nsc smokescreen of an emphasis on poor officials.

Then Ignore Thread and relax.

 

[Washie]

As people know, I'm usually pro ref and VAR. But that was f***ing shocking.

This was also a particularly poor bit

 

[A1X]

Reminder on the decisions, VAR is now “tweaked” to overrule less, this is almost entirely on the gobshite with the whistle

 

[Nobby Cybergoat]

Had they given a flag and a whistle to Noel and Liam Gallagher and sent them out to officiate, those City players couldn't have expected more favourable decision making.

A very very good team, but probably 10 of the points they've got this season are down to the refs

 

[Drebin]

The only positive thing about that officiating is that it didn’t effect the result.

Conscious or subconscious, there’s definitely a bias there, especially when you compare the Foden free kick and the Pedro penalty incidents.

Yes - and they were both ref's decisions (i know VAR backed the ref up on the penalty - but it was his initial decision).

 

[Invicta]

Several poor decisions, not a conspiracy or anything and we were losing anyway as we were awful. VAR added no value, would prefer honest mistakes.

 

[macbeth]

all the media and punditry class start clutching their pearls whenever anyone suggests corruption, but what else is anyone supposed to think at this point?

 

[Rodney Thomas]

If you give the Foden freekick then you have to give the Pedro penalty.

Giving a freekick for falling over a blade of grass helped them get goal number 2.
