But if its a penalty then the rest is irrelevant. 

It is, but it just doesn't sit well with me that a goal can be scored after the incident, to dismiss all of that, and then wait three minutes for a penalty to be awarded.

 

Perhaps a review system like cricket or tennis would work better? Maybe then play could be halted as soon as a manager wants to review a decision? Just a thought.

And the Watford game gets the screeching woman as commentator

We seem to have her a lot - got called sexist by someone on another forum for calling her loud !

Never a second yellow based on that for delph 

 

Probably why they looked so pumped up to keep us out although wasn't hard.

 

Nigel wasn't great with his subs although not his fault Issac Success really doesn't live up to his name and it seems Chalobah was injured again.

 

And really all 3 Everton goals were avoidable.

Grealish just runs in to Lerma and throws himself over 

[baldeagle]

Match of the day being predictable as always all about Chelsea and Tammy then about 1 second at the end saying we’re doing alright 

[Phube]

Didn’t even discuss the handball!!!

Right, so we have twice as many shots on goal as Chelsea and all of the analysis is about hypothetical sh1t that Abraham might have done if he wasn't sh1t..

Admittedly Liverpool could've had a penalty earlier in the game, so both hard done in that aspect. 

 

But, once again a key decision goes for Liverpool. 

Yeah I thought that was too. Two seemingly clear penalties. One for each side, so cancels out, but that's not the point.

 

As far as I'm concerned, over half the time VAR is missing stuff or giving off sides by 1 or 2 mm, whilst otherwise interrupting the flow. Hate it!

Again with VAR, did they review that? They should, because the player doesn't get the chance to appeal it.

 

I'm waiting for someone to get sent off, VAR agreeing with ref and then it getting overturned on appeal weeks later.

Var can’t review yellow cards

Exactly . I couldn’t believe what a crock that analysis was - making the case for Abraham being a shoo in for England by showing a series of shots of him making poor decisions and reacting too slowly 

[Super_horns]

They seemed to rush through it all - at the end Wrighty was cut off talking about Norwich for example.

Which is stupid, because sometimes they have far more far reach in effects than a single goal.

Well, why review actual chances when we can look at Tammy Abraham falling over and not moving?

The kicking a ball past a player then running into him and going over like you've been shot tactic is wearing a bit thin now and i'm suprised the refs arn't cottoning on to it, maybe something to do the fact championship players, which no doubt Grealish will be if Villa go down, don't get into the England squad.

[Unabomber]

What happened to Rudiger when he scored his first? He had a little fit looked quite concerning.

Probably struggling to remember the exact choreography for his goal celebration given that it’s hardly ever required

Those of us who attended yesterday were able to make our own analysis of Abraham.

 

He’s rubbish.

 

And a cheat.

Happened already with Son on Gomez.

She was Co commentating on spurs man City on 5 live. 

 

I had never heard her before and it sounded like they had a competition winner come and help commentate and that winner was a 12 year old boy. 

 

She kept using some of the worst clichés in football, "man City try to walk the ball in to the goal" etc. 

 

It was only when half time came and the studio people thanked the commentary team, I realised it was a woman. 

 

I genuinely don't think I was being sexist, I just think she is shit. 

[Phube]

Nice criticising of a correct decision, but the obvious shoulder barge foul/obstruction on Madders not even shown, let alone discussed!

[Trav Le Bleu]

Danny Murphy being a bell-end again, saying that it would be a bad thing if Man City are disqualified from CL as it would set a precedent for other big clubs.

 

We WANT it to set a precedent for other big clubs, you tool!
