What Has Been The Worst Reffing/VAR Decision This Season?

treepits said:
I think every club has its fair share of bad decisions but they also get their fair share of lucky ones too. I genuinely can’t think of any decisions that have gone our way this season that aren’t factual ie offsides. Perhaps that’s confirmation bias but I don’t think it is

In terms of conspiracy, I can’t jump on board with that. It would need the top brass in the fa actually getting together and deciding that they’re going to fudge us over and that being relayed to various officials. If just one person broke rank and exposed the situation, it would mean the end of the prem league pretty much as a serious product

Let’s hope the bad refereeing decisions even themselves out over the next four matches

Yeah sorry, to be clear I don’t think there is conspiracy, but I do think there is some subconscious thing happening that is compounding the more back luck that we get.

I don't think there's a conspiracy, it really makes no sense. I do believe no referee wants to be seen to be part of a conspiracy to keeps us up. It's why so we are on the wrong side of pretty much any borderline decision, so when it goes to VAR they won't overturn it. Then there are decisions such as the Bentancur one at Saudi Sportswashing Machine which are down to pure incompetence. Shove in a bunch of hideous luck, injuries and lack of technical ability I think we are doing well to be above Wolves and Burnley.

Yeah I don’t think there is conspiracy, but I think there is some group think, subconscious, incompetent decision making happening.
 
Just seen a horrendous tackle in the Europa game Forest Villa go by without even a CARD. So it’s definitely not just us. But I still believe we’ve been on the wrong side of a crazy amount this year.
 
TBF there are a couple of soft calls in that video, which I would've been ok with if it wasn't for everyone else getting them given.

How that Enzo tackle is not a red is just mind blowing incompetence though. Studs first to the knee. Never near the ball. Compare that to Xavi brushing VVD's calf and the numerous slomo camera angles that justified that sending off.

And there's many others too; the Bentancour penalty and the West Ham penalty not given among the worst.

Is it a conspiracy? Probably not. But refs do absolutely nothing to prevent conspiracy theories to thrive and grow with they way they operate randomly and inconsistently. In fact, I'd say it’s all on them at this point.
 
Has anyone measured the impact of that video and the refereeing errors in terms of points lost due to PGMOL?

I still believe it will be significant enough to mean the difference between staying up and going down. Another true example of where poor officiating is changing the course of history. That really needs to change.
