They are called Referees and they are TERRIBLE

[Gooner Zig]

Also how many times can you ****ing foul Saka before a yellow is shown?

You guys have to look back the VAR moment in the palace bournemouth game. Ref gave a yellow card and VAR tried to make it a red card while there was a covering defender. Literally making up its own rules and the referee for once stuck to his decision.

This thread is absolute madness! If Saliba had made that challenge yesterday people would have sworn at the ref and praised VAR for over turning it, shouting that he clearly touched the ball. No wonder refs and their families get such a lot of abuse, humans are incapable of objectivity.

If Saliba had made that challenge yesterday the VAR would have had a quick check and fulham a penalty. Go look at the joa pedro penalty last season. We are sick of the rules being bent whatever way the refs want and its never in our favor.

Even VAR can’t stop us this season.

That was clearly not a penalty yesterday. Defender got clear contact with the ball. If that’s a penalty then the game is gone.

The only reason the ref spent long reviewing it was because the camera wasn’t working.

You can’t go through a player to get the ball though, that’s the issue, Howard Webb said exactly that last season, the touch doesn’t matter if it’s man first, which it was.

On top of that, how can it be classed as a clear and obvious error? The fact it is being debated and every pundit I have seen so far says it WAS a pen means it is debatable so again not clear and obvious. They may as well ditch referees at this point.

It was a fantastic challenge. If Saliba had made that I'd be very proud. Mind you I'm proud of him anyway. Week after week quietly building a fortress.

I think we all agree it is a soft penalty, but it is not a clear and obvious misstake! As dino says well below. We are not going to see a decision like that go against any other team this season.

If Saliba made that challenge (which he wouldn’t btw) I’d be wondering why the hell he dived in wrong side and took that risk.

if these kind of decisions given against Liverpool or other top teams then we can say fair play PGMOL they sticking with this rule. but if they ignore it then we gonna be pissed and rightly so.

also if England want to win something in summer they need to protect their best RW how many times does he need to be kicked?

 

[Gooner Zig]

The usual suspects in this thread ofc saying it's not a penalty

"He won the ball..." ; yeah how did Kevin win the ball guys? He ****ing took Saka out to do so

 

[redwhiteAustrian]

I'm lost for words how bad these referees are, it's unbelievable.
You'd think standards can't really get any lower but week after week we're taught they can. What's even the point of having them on the pitch anymore, with VAR interfering all the time.

 

[littleboysilva]

The feigning a head injury and stopping the entire game has to stop. Fulham did this the entire first half it’s part of the reason why we couldn’t get going. Ref stopped an attack with eze in yard of space cause the Fulham player got barely slapped by his own player.

this tweet below make me want try to summarize var decision

1. alright so against newcastle pope touch ball first before hit gyokeres knee that is not foul

2. against fulham, opponent touch saka knee first before got the ball that is also not foul

son of bastard there is no foul then in 2 different position ????? absolutely w a n k e r prick

Pope didn't make contact with the ball first

They get off on being contrarian. It's a weird fetish. Like virtue-signalling and cuckoldry.

 

[Blood on the Tracks]

You've got to pick your battles with ref decisions.

It is a debatable one but if that was an Arsenal defender I'd want it overturned, I'll be honest.

Think we're better off getting annoyed at the obviously heinous decisions like Rice getting sent off and the Gyokeres pen.

If Sarr wasn't going wide it's arguably DOGSO, the covering defender was already busy. Not sure what is the problem here anyway, if people got their wish to have an independent panel on the screens you'd see a lot more of these discussions with the ref breaking the game flow even further.

Why do people feel the need to gaslight others. It was neither a fantastic or clean challenge. The outrage and abuse officials receive is self inflicted. Give a call either way on field for these and it is far more acceptable.

It does and should not meet the threshold for a video review. In such subjective cases where you can make an argument either way I think you've just got to go with the on field decision.

Exactly. The fact it took 8 minutes for them to review means it was not a clear or obvious error
