How does he not give the advantage? Thank God Liverpool got him pulled from VARing our game.

We better be more positive against United this season. They're turd

Hoddle just said this Man Utd side have shown progression. Despite all the inconsistencies so far between all competitions and being considerably worse than 2nd half of last season.

Then says against Everton they played really well, got the result. Tonight has been 'indifferent'.

 

Is that progression?

Late to the party but no idea how that was overturned for the West Brom penalty. What did he see the second time he didn't see before?

 

Very odd.

No one knows ....

[worthosoriginals]

Forget the bribery money, a thoroughly deserved win. 

[Hammo]

Another victory for injustice.

 

And another reason to detest Manchester United just that little bit more than before.

Yeah but what other bent ref do we have instead

Like I said earlier, once the VAR official tells the ref to look at the monitor it is planting the seed of doubt into the ref's mind that he has got it wrong, even if he hasn't.

Rigged. 

[Corky]

In the build-up to the penalty for Man Utd there looked to be a foul on a West Brom player but they didn't show it again.

The Solksjaer reign encapsulated. They're a slightly above average team with a below average manager, who's key player is VAR.

I don't have a problem with that on paper, I don't have a problem with the VAR fully making calls tbh. I've said loads of times before, the idea of the sanctity of the ref being some sort of divine ultimate power is stupid. Football is a team sport, that includes the officiating team. 

 

The VAR has a view to watch it from a zillion different angles in slow motion.

 

Ultimately the problem here isn't the VAR itself, it's the ridiculous interpretation of the rules. The idea that it's not a foul if a player gets an atom of their toe on the ball first or that it isn't a dive if an atom of a defender's boot scrapes an attacker, its stupid. But you can't say it's inconsistent, it's been like it for years because the league won't let refs make subjective common sense calls.

Are Spurs bringing out another dvd soon?

[Corky]

There was a foul in the build-up, Gallagher tripped.

Peter Walton actually slagging off the var ! 

[Blue-fox]

Var needs to go. It basically gives the same talking points you would get without it, I.e is it a penalty or isn’t it, but the flow of the game is gone and you can’t celebrate a goal properly anymore.

I'm normally critical that he seems to side with the referees regardless of the situation. However fair play to him, he's absolutely savaged the VAR and officiating in a very articulate and factual way tonight.

[yorkie1999]

I think it’s time the fa scrapped var. it doesn’t work consistency and never will because of the human factor of officials looking at a monitor still being able to make a mistake. They tried it and it’s a failure, whatever anyone says. No one in the game wants it so why persist.

Var needs to stay. Now when a penalty isn't given against man u, they can't say 'Well, his line of vision', or 'it's a split second thing'. Three sets of eyes reviewed it in slow motion from the perfect angle and cheat. And everyone is clear what happened. No excuses. Hopefully, eventually, the cheating will have to change.

[Sol thewall Bamba]

People deny that this league is rigged

[jayfox26]

I'm going to be consistent and say I didn't think the WBA pen shout was a pen. Very similar to the Villa one where there was clearly contact on the ball. However the United pen shouldn't have been given as there was a clear foul on Gallagher that lead to the penalty

Who needs to be a semi decent manager when you have penalties every week eh.
