Nuneatonfox in Manchester Posted 2 February 2021 Posted 2 February 2021 A lot of saints fans on their forum seem to be confident that the red card for Bednarek will be rescinded, but surely with VAR already checking it that can't be possible can it? Be interesting to see what the FA do especially as Martial allegedly admitted it was a dive. Southamptons defines is down to the bare bones as it is
North Leeds Fox Posted 2 February 2021 Posted 2 February 2021 Southampton deserved to get battered for that performance but some of the decisions by Mike Dean and Var were very odd. The standard of officiating has been dreadful for a while now. 2

If he had any integrity he would have told Mike Dean straight away after getting up from his pathetic flop. 3

kingfox Posted 2 February 2021 Posted 2 February 2021 We did ours away from home Against ten men All in the span of 82 minutes Man Utd at home Against nine men Needed 92 minutes to do it Leicester > Man Utd 1
Vacamion Posted 2 February 2021 Posted 2 February 2021 Ralph Hasenhuttl seemed a bit broken when they were interviewing him at the end. Almost tearful. If you think back to him collapsing to his knees in tears after the Liverpool game (since when they've been utter mince, by the way) you have to worry that it is all getting on top of him. Hope he's OK. 1

Also it's not a competition.

Just goes to show how ingrained it is for footballers to cheat, particularly at the higher levels of the game. To dive in a close game is one thing. To do it when 6-0 up shows it's just a natural reflex for most of these players. 1

Yeah I felt sorry for him when they were struggling, not now, he was a bit smug to be fair. I just seen the Penalty decision on match of the day, no way and a Red as well, the Ref definitely needs a trip to specsavers. If that pathetic fall, was a penalty. I'm all for winning, but to play act like that and have someone sent off is a disgrace. 1

Popular Post Tielemans63 Posted 2 February 2021 Popular Post Posted 2 February 2021 People look down on Italian football after Calciopoli and many were sniffy about the cheating that went on there, safe in the knowledge that it will never happen here with English referees.....except I really believe it is happening. At least the Italian FA had the balls to investigate it and to hand out bans and even relegate Juve. You look at some decisions that have been made this season and they're literally inexplicable. Does anything ever happen? No. I'm not one for conspiracy theories but it's happening right in front of us! If Italian referees were prepared to accept bribes, what makes us think that English referees are so morally superior that they wouldn't? 21
Ian Nacho Posted 2 February 2021 Posted 2 February 2021 The whole idea behind VAR was that it would take the contention out the game but if anything it’s made it worse. We should still use VAR but only for when the referee misses violent conduct. anything else a manager can challenge with a limit of 3 challenges a match (you get your challenge back if it gets overturned). 1

They saw the same footage as us and determined Martial was fouled? Do they not see him fall early? Do they not see Bednarek pull out of the challenge? Very disappointing. Might be because Mike Dean actually looked at a still image longer then actual video footage of the incident 1

Agreed, I was all for VAR at the beginning obviously thought it would improve the game but it’s actually made it worse and make the officiating worse as it seems the majority of the time. they don’t bother reacting to anything as VAR will look at any issues and then they will decide the game seems to be reffed by replays and not actual onfield decisions

Hoopla10 Posted 3 February 2021 Posted 3 February 2021 As somebody who fully supported VAR before the $hit$how we've seen since it started I now think it should be binned. NOT because it inherently can't work but because the referee association and FA (whoever else is in charge of this farce) are incapable of making it work. We've moaned (rightly imo) the lack of professionalism, ability of refereeing and overall incompetence at times in the PL/EL for years why would we suddenly expect them to actually get this right? Their decision making isn't good enough (ironically why I wanted VAR in the first place lol). So yeah, this is kind of on people like me who stupidly advocated it thinking they could handle it properly. You don't blame the child who knows no better you blame the adult. I've said before they have to get rid of the lines and give the advantage to the striker. It won't be perfect, there will still be arguments (water is wet) but you limit the percentages of mistakes without this joke of measuring where somebody's arm starts. And in theory I stand by that idea. But I don't trust VAR/Referees to do even that properly (let alone without bias).
glenny_fox Posted 3 February 2021 Posted 3 February 2021 Was che Adams goal disallowed just because he wore a long sleeve top? As doesn't the line usually go to above their elbow rather than the wrist? Var in principal should work, but the morons controlling it literally have no clue. How the hell have they managed to get technology designed to take controversy out of the game, and make the game more controversial than ever? 1
