Great to see Raul score against Arsenal.

 

[pavlosmacwolf]

Way to go senor.

 

[HanDoJin]

I'd prefer Arsenal give them a hiding personally. We're only in a contest for league positions with 1 of these teams. Same with Spurs/ Bournemouth

So you've given up on us catching Arsenal?

 

[HanDoJin]

I'm such a quitter

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Arsenal falling apart earlier than expected?

 

[Alan]

This is the best Raúl has looked in years.

Keep playing like that and maybe we will

Currently watching Plymouth v Watford and Derby v Peterborough.... how nice to watch games where VAR doesn't interfere. Sure, there have been some questionable decisions but you know instantly what the ref has decided and not left wondering if VAR will intervene. Makes for a better game IMO.

No, it really doesn't.

 

[leedswolf]

Yeah, watched Sunderland Preston and currently watching leeds Blouse. It's refreshing to see games where everybody just gets on with it. Far more enjoyable for the spectator.

 

[Squeak]

No, it really doesn't.

Not like you to take a contrary role.

 

[Tony Towner]

All depends if you are prepared to accept the incorrect decisions or not. NML was just flagged off when 1 on 1 with the keeper, when he was on, it was saved, but was a clear error and would have taken a moment to correct. If he'd scored I doubt Derby fans would have gone you win some you lose some.

I've come round to the concept of VAR when I was opposed previously, just not the version we have, the implementation of it and it's failed attempt at perfection

As we've seen there's plenty of incorrect decisions with VAR. I don't have a problem with VAR and like you it's the implementation that's the problem.

Mad end to the 1st half at Wrexham.
Scored in the 9th, 11th and 13th min of added time. Fletcher with 2 of them

It's not really contrary is it?

The vast majority of fans want the right decisions as TT says.

I find it incredibly weird that people who get so exercised about the level of refereeing say they are happy for the mistakes to happen. It doesn't make sense on any level.

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Madness at Wrexham. Bad injury to Barrow player but they go into added time 1-0 ahead. Wrexham score in 45+9, 45+11 and 45+13. Two for Steven Fletcher.

See Ex-Wolves thread ;-)

I'm conflicted on Wrexham, I enjoy the documentary (apart from some of the overly sentimental parts) and I don't doubt the integrity of the ownership. There's something about the financial doping that brings which I don't particularly like though, Reynolds' fame and the endorsements that brings makes them an FFP cheat code

 

[Kenny]

I just like what they have done for the town.
Lived and worked in the area for a while and it wasn't the best place but their arrival and coverage has done wonders for the place.
Also feel their fans deserve it after they almost lost the club due to a conman.

You say that but I've seen plenty of Leicester fans say they've preferred it without VAR after not having it this season.

Of course the fact they are winning every week neutralises any bad feeling over wrong decisions, like the one the other week with the non penalty decision against them when they only drew.
