A dive!? 

This ref is abhorrent 

[reporterpenguin]

The sort of game that makes you think there is a genuine possibility the refs are in the pocket of the big teams

[fox_favourite]

He was fouled?! My word this shows corruption 

[Vacamion]

 

Waiting for Var to rule this out...

Bournemouth should have been out of sight in the first half

[whoareyaaa]

I thought if contact carries on inside then its a peno

[CWC1983]

He's not even booked him 🤣🤣

[CheeseHead]

Surely it wasn't clearly and obviously outside, so stick to the original decision?

[Blue ROI]

At times like this you would advise youngsters to take up something like Running instead.

Apparently it was a foul until the very moment they met the line, then it somehow ceased to be.

My natural inclination is to attribute poor decisions to incompetence rather than corruption or bias, but games like this test me.

That last penalty was in the box why did var rule it out? Only had it on in the background.

VAR checked the badge and realised the error

[foxes_rule1978]

Man U getting dodgy decisions nothing new. Unless it is clear and obvious I don’t see how the on field decision was overruled

I've just seen the penalty given against Bournemouth. Is it me or does his arm go back into his body? If so, how is it give? I can almost understand the ref giving it in real time because of the speed of it all and how the defender turns his body. 

 

But VAR officials need to be seeing that his arm isn't even out of his natural silhouette (whatever the fvck that is ) 

 

Bizarre.

I think it has to be limited bias, intended to keep the order of things (we can't have another Leicester City). Officials make several questionable decisions during a match that add up to give a tangible advantage to the greedy 6 team but it's still down to the team to score the goals.

Tony Harrington. He's abysmal every week. Loves making it about him and panders to the big clubs. 

[Matt]

The goal Burnley conceded  

 

No sympathy.

Yeah sorry, right game, wrong way round.

 

Ugh Burnley, should we go up that’ll be us next season making brain farts all over the place all in reason of “the idea”.

 

Oh well, let’s get there first.

That is 2 poor keepers they have had this season .

 

Don’t think either were cheap either.

I thought Trafford was doing okay considering his inexperience. 

 

They're the kind of moments where you just know it's not your time.
