[Elephant Pyjamas]

Bit unlucky there, although i guess the keeper was flummoxed by Raul's attempt.

 

[Jinky]

Oh hang on. I don’t think it’s Pod offside. What’s going on? VAR or disallowed? Podence isn’t offside there?

And it’s been scratched off. What the fuck.

Raul was offside.

 

[The Bear]

Raul swung at the ball so was active.

Typical VAR.

 

[Freddeno]

Raul went for it

 

[Alan]

Raúl is a mile off and interferes by swinging at the cross.

 

[BillyDee]

Fuck VAR

 

[Alan]

Typical VAR.

At least it was the right call. No idea why it took so long, though.

 

[Jinky]

So Raul taking a swipe at the ball has made Mendy dive, so it’s offside even though he doesn’t touch the ball.

Podence was onside.

 

[Alan]

We’re all over them?? Knock on wood.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Raul is a bit crap for being offside there.

 

[Nando]

Yes - it's the right decision. It's poor from Raul being so far ahead of the line.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

Mendy is a bit dodge.

 

[The Bear]

Probably wasn't expecting a first time cross from Marcal. We usually don't.

 

[Throbber3]

David Coote is another cunt ref

 

[Alan]

If this doesn’t get given as handball then VAR is truly broken.

 

[Elephant Pyjamas]

VAR for the handball? It's a red card?

 

[Freddeno]

How is it possible the ref doesnt see that handball from Kante?

 

[Throbber3]

That’s possibly handball and a possible red. Where the fuck is var ?

 

[Alan]

Again, no fucking consistency. If Moutinho’s handball is a pen, then Kante’s just now is a red.
