[Albion] When you've got away with a MASSIVE handball...

[GOM]

SInce the ref didn't see it and presumably not in his match report, will there be a 3 match ban coming ?

The trouble is that we *put the Fulham result right* against West Brom in the cup, and then promptly thought the job done, lost focus, and lost in the league again.

My fear is that we *put the Burnley result right* against Derby in the cup, and then the players think job done, lose focus and lose in the league again.

We need to put league disappointments right in the league, not in the cup.

The good news is that we get to use VAR in the next game.

I’m not a fan of VAR, but every now and then I’ll admit that it could have its uses.

Hopefully next season as well.

VAR
The game would not have been stopped to look at the incident so they play on until the ball goes dead, correct?
The ball went dead when a penalty was given at the other end. So Barnes is stood on the spot waiting to go 3:0 up whilst Murray is taking the ball back to the other end knowing VAR will give him a penalty.

But then those players didnt play in the cup match....will they be playing next week?

Dyche and his back room team (about 3 of them) were intimidating the Lino and 4th official from the start and in the end got into their heads. Isn’t there are rule on the number of people in the technical areas? Certainly not 5!

Also the position of our dug out and CH’s non confrontational approach doesn’t seem to give us much of an advantage.

Dyche, like Howe, Hodgson, Benitez, and possibly Warnock are tough, wily and hardened characters and know how to survive in this division. CH does and says all the right thing but is still learning the nastier side of things, such as killing a game when ahead

Lol I noticed that...they were almost clones of Dyche and his windmill antics

Our dug out changes with each manager. One manager at Brighton moved it to the south so that he could be in the ear of the lino all game. CH must prefer the north side.

VAR would have been fun yesterday, ref decides not to award a blantant penalty to Brighton, play goes up the other end and penalty awarded to Burnley. Burnley fans and players celebrating penalty, but hang on ref makes VAR signal and calls play back for Brighton penalty.

All this would have had the huge bonus of Dyche going absolutely bonkers in his technical area

 

[Bodian]

But if we had VAR, would the first penalty claim have been given, or Tarkowski sent off - in which case, events wouldn't have unfolded as they did and we probably wouldn't have had the incidents!

If Andone gets a ban as the ref didn't see it or do anything about it, why can't he get a yellow for deliberate handball?
Grapes are very sour today.
