They just don’t overturn anything these days

The ridiculous thing was they did overturn the Joao Gomes one at Fulham. Ref didn't give it

Well Broja ain’t come on so Pochettino has finally realised he really is shit or somethings happening tomorrow.

Saving him for Sunday…

Ha, hopefully.

Stevie Wonder on VAR. That’s a ridiculous decision not to give a penalty.

I’d love to hear the VAR conversation on that one.
“Well he doesnt win the ball he takes the players leg and the player goes to ground but you had a good view of it and he hasn’t been shot or anything so I agree -no penalty.

 

[Sniffer]

In all seriousness although you don’t want VAR re reffing the game you do want consistency. VAR should say that you’ve given a similar one at the other end, so to be fair to both sides then it should be given.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Just get rid of this clear and obvious bobbins. The conversation then becomes “we think you should take a look to be sure” rather than “you are plain wrong so look at the picture”. While it exists the VAR seem to think there is an association of making the ref look foolish while getting the correct decision. So they side with their mate.

 

[Boozad]

And to think we’ll be getting it from the ref’s lips next season over the mic. I don’t think I’ll mind if they do it in the style of a different vocalist every week, that would take the edge off. Maybe put a band behind them as well.

Absolutely. As soon as VAR is involved the only aim should be to get the correct decision.

David Coote giving a VAR decision in the style of Cannibal Corpse would be amusing

 

[Squeak]

Ah! Bless! Poor little Everton fans and their fake yellow cards. EPL should fine them for insubordination and dock them more points. Really getting tired of their victim mentality. How about playing by the rules?

 

[Squeak]

Less than 4 mins and Richarlison scores against his old club. Shows a great deal of respect in doing so. Pretty much an apology.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Teams getting wise to Vicario, he's a good keeper in general but very weak on corners.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

That's a foul by Harrison in my eyes, a soft one but he's only making that move to push into the keeper with no intent to play the ball so it should be obstruction.

 

[jd1981]

Everton a bit fortunate there if you ask me

 

[Del Woppio]

Nah not having that as a foul, it's still (just about) a contact sport. He's got to be stronger there - keepers can get away with a lot more in terms of shoving and bumping to get themselves clear, he's just weak as piss

 

[jd1981]

No going for the ball so you have to ask what is Harrison intention?

 

[Del Woppio]

To make life awkward for a weak keeper. It's not a body check, it's no different to the blockers that are employed for defending corners

If he was just standing in front of the keeper I'd agree but he starts off a couple of steps away and then just walks into him as the ball is delivered. Might not be a lot of force but there's zero intention to play the ball and he definitely blocks Vicario's attempts to get to the cross.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

If you could pause games and bet on a specific event, I'd continually stick £5k on Timo Werner not scoring if he goes through one on one. I'd have enough money to buy Wolves at the end of the season.
