That a foul on Micky

 

[paxtonwolf]

B@llocks again

 

[fernadez]

No penalty then?

 

[alekaras]

By the same token that should be a penalty on Micky

 

[Spoonman]

Lol! They make it up as they go along!

 

[Mrs Vert]

How is that not a pen

Exactly. No var or pen and ref looking right at it

 

[Chrissivad]

What's the point in VAR if they don't give that

 

[Yiddo]

If that disallowed goal was a foul how the fudge was that not a foul? Absolute fudging flimflam.

 

[Mrs Vert]

Tell me he ref not a hammer fan

 

[Daisuk]

They're butchering us on corners and the ref does nothing. fudge off.

 

[paxtonwolf]

6 of one and half a dozen of the other, looked more like 10-2 to me

 

[Mrs Vert]

Tell me how its not ref or var fault now??

 

[Chrissivad]

Great ball in from Xavi

 

[Robbo]

Clear pen, no? Or is it ok to wrestle opponents to the ground?

 

[fernadez]

Refs being bad seems to be quite consistent. This has nothing to do with VAR. The ref on the pitch got it wrong and his mate didn't want to overrule him.

It raises the question about what is a clear and obvious error.
Was it clearly an error? Yes.
Was it obvious? No - too much going on for it be reliably accurate.

Is that an acceptable level at top level sport? Football cannot be accurately, consistently and reliaby officiated by one person on the pitch and two at the side.

Tel is just to small to win headers against the tall west Ham central def

 

[Mrs Vert]

NOW I REALLY WANT US TO WIN COS WE AGAINST VAR AND REF. IM SO ANNOYED

 

[Daisuk]

Kudus's ball control is something else.

 

[billyiddo]

Better since the disallowed goal
