Scotch Posted 27 February 2021 Share Posted 27 February 2021 So basically.... He blew his whistle too early and Brighton scored when the keeper wasn't ready. He tried to rectify it by bringing it back. Realised he couldn't rectify it without making an even bigger mess so gave the goal. VAR stepped in to save his blushes and brought it back. ....I would wager my left nut that Brighton get a soft penalty at some point to even it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re not allowed to fully stop when you stutter. You're not allowed to stop or stutter once your leg is planted to strike the ball. For example dummy to kick it. A stuttered run up is allowed I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhYesNdidi Posted 27 February 2021 Share Posted 27 February 2021 Just looking at the fixtures - why the hell aren't Brighton playing mid week, or should I be asking, why the hell are we playing mid week next week vs Burnley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTY_FOX Posted 27 February 2021 Share Posted 27 February 2021 Surley, if he blows the whistle to start play, then the goalkeeper not being ready is the goalkeepers fault? Not brightons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 27 February 2021 Share Posted 27 February 2021 1 minute ago, Vacamion said: That is a disgrace. If Brighton lose or draw this, they have every right to protest. Mason has to be finished. The thing is because they're the 'bottomfeeders' (Very disrespectful that word but that's how the powers that be see them/teams down the bottom) the powers that be won't care. It's like Bournemouth being relegated and Villa staying up by virtue of goal line technology not working correctly last season, imagine for one second that effecting something at the top of the league, the media would still be talking about it now, something would have been done about it, because it's at the other end though - who cares? (Not my view but the FA/PL will have that opinion and view i'm sure) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bats8711 Posted 27 February 2021 Share Posted 27 February 2021 So - we still don't know why VAR ruled that out, right? I know some people consider this blasphemous - but why not just stop the clock during VAR checks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super_horns Posted 27 February 2021 Share Posted 27 February 2021 (edited) So basically he didn’t really know why he had blown the whistle or when? Sounds like a right old mess ! Trouble is we never hear anything so will never know what went on as they will try to justify the decision. 5live say VAR might have been giving offside against a player in front of the goalie.

Re arranged game due to our fa cup involvement. Has to be played on a mid week at some stage and they set it for this Wednesday in case we progressed in europa League as available dates would reduce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan LCFC Posted 27 February 2021 Share Posted 27 February 2021 I really don't know if you can ever recover the mess they have created. I'm not saying that goal was directly because of VAR but the whole thing is just so out of kilter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sol thewall Bamba Posted 27 February 2021 Share Posted 27 February 2021 Just seen that Brighton free kick, more refereeing incompetence compounded by VAR incompetence. Imagine being a fan at that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corky Posted 27 February 2021 Share Posted 27 February 2021 A free-kick is an advantage for the offended team- why should the opposition get an age to get themselves ready? Quick free-kicks should be allowed, there's nothing wrong with that goal whatsoever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bats8711 Posted 27 February 2021 Share Posted 27 February 2021 I just checked that fivethirtyeight site. Doesn't look like you simulate different results but you can see the stats as of each week. Currently we are 63% to make CL. As of 2 days ago we were 68%. How could WHU losing decrease our chances by 5%. What am I missing? I've been living a lie!
