More VAR bollocks in favour of the "big 6" where were those lines for United's second goal yesterday.

 

[MARKakaJIM]

Can you stop like that on the run up to take it?

Yes.

 

[Jack Regan]

Sponsor maybe a little big but otherwise I think that's a beauty, simplicity at it's finest.

The sponsor just looks weird on the front of a football shirt to me. Plus the black around the neck and sleeves isn't very Chelsea.

I think this is a good point. Shaw was onside imo but why weren't those lines out to make sure he was. It definitely feels like VAR does still favour the "big sides" when they need it to. If they don't show those lines in a couple of our games we're probably 3 places higher.

West Ham will love VAR last week spurs first goal should have been chalked of for hand ball but was deemed not conclusive enough. Tonight they have a chalked off because it’s deemed conclusive that it hit Antonio on the way in.

lolz

That's appalling from Azpi and Kepa.

 

[PuntsWolf]

They didn’t need lines last night and then didn’t need lines tonight. They are just inept

 

[Jack Regan]

This one does count.

 

[Del Woppio]

Half expected a push on cesar to be given then

It's got the Chelsea badge on it, so by definition...

 

[jd1981]

People suggesting that the goal was disallowed because Antonio position prevents Azpilcueta getting a bloke in.

The thing is, they really don't help themselves with an appalling lack of consistency. FWIW I don't think there's bias or corruption, I just think they're utterly inept.

They've brought all the accusations and criticism on themselves by making such a fucking mess of VAR since the first day of the season.

And these inconsistencies happen EVERY week.

I don't think it's a coincidence any more too much of this shit goes in the big teams' favour.

Rudiger and Abraham worse for me.

Terrible to concede that corner to begin with and then Abraham could just step across and the ball hits him instead of jumping up in the air about 20 minutes before it reached him.

 

[Tony Towner]

I don't think it's bent, I do think there's unconscious bias, just like there always has been from on field refs.

Surely not :icon_lol:

 

[jd1981]

Surely not :icon_lol:

To be it was Miguel Delaney on twitter many have pointed out to him that’s not how the law reads.

 

[Tony Towner]

Only seen the goal on Twitter, but does Antonio touch it and is offside when he tries to scissor kick it?

 

[Jinky]

Get in West Ham!

 

[Alan]

Amazing!
