FA Cup 2017-18

[HybridFox]

They need the ref talk radio like in rugby. It's the only way fans will know what's going on. Does my head how far behind football is. But we will get there one day

You can’t give a penalty and book the player for simulation 

Are you new to English refs?

How come Iborra didn’t get a penalty for the exact same thing against Fleetwood?

 

Didn’t do a swan dive followed by a dying fly...

 I was trying to see both sides, it was a Peno however bad Salah made it look so yes you can’t do that unfortunately

[pSinatra]

I'd rather have a few controversial decisions than this dogshit

VAR is a disgrace, can’t believe all of these correct decisions being made. Not sure how the game comes back from this tbh.

They were, the Peno I saw after one replay so why it took so long I don’t know that was silly 

It took so long because the players was trying to govern the game 

they should just let the ref deal with it, no surrounding the ref while trying to deal with it 

the fact they all went marching of with the ref to watch the tv replay shouldn’t be allowed either 

[Soar Fox]

Why did the commentator just say “they are seeing if the ball hit Charlie Adams. 

 

Charlie Adams the stoke player yeah.

That’s what I mean though, I don’t think he was interfering with play, even though he was in an offside position, because I don’t think the goalie would have got there anyway

That isn’t the rules, he flicks his foot towards the ball in a offside position

He doesn't play for Liverpool

And this is what worries me.

 

A referee can decide which decisions he reviews. 

 

It’s just going to get more controversial as people notice the very clear inconsistencies.

Okay

In amongst all of the chaos, I’ve just noticed that Virgil van Dijk has “Virgil” on his shirt.

 

Ewwww.

It isn’t perfect can never be when a different human has to determine whether it was or wasn’t every game. But they get a hell of a lot more right with it that is for sure.

Is that John feckin' Carver?

Was just about to make the same point. Some refs will use it constantly, others will use it when needed and the egotistical ones like Moss, Jones and Madley won't bother because they don't believe they're ever wrong.

[RowlattsFox]

Players are going to through themselves to the floor and ask for VAR. if there’s contact the refs might give it. 

 

Salah made the most of it for me. 

[foxfanazer]

Changing my stance on VAR. Was originally all for it but don’t think the people in charge of it have the intelligence to apply it properly

Ref should also lay down the law and book them all. F*** it. Only way they'll learn

I think maybe a challenge system like tennis would be appropriate. The captain and/or manager can ask for it to be viewed

That would work really well with Jose Mourinho. Matches lasting days on end while he has everything reviewed.

Yeah, it has to be taken away from the ref, or it' pointless. We know what some are like, they won't like admitting to being wrong so they'll avoid it. Give the managers the power and limit it, then everyone knows where they are.
