The joelinton pen should of been spotted by var and in turn spoke to the ref. 

The reason it didn't is because they didn't want any complaints by the big six.

Bruno Fernandes red card overturned

 

Absolutely no point in VAR is there?

[nufc123]

Good. VAR had a shocker.

Klopp has done some fucking damage to the Premier League.

Whoever was in VAR duty should be demoted for the season, absolute joke.

I’m sure we will see consistency applied across the season with these then……  

 

It did seem harsh. But the fact you can still appeal after the VAR officials have looked at all the angles and replays and then cleared the ref’s decision. It just shows the whole VAR process up yet again. 
 

Also, on that basis. Schar’s red should have been overturned as there is clear evidence of that egg Brereton leaning his head in first and initiating the contact. 
 

VAR is unfit for purpose.

It was never a red to be fair

So they can do that when they feel like it. Cool.

Nah it was shenanigans from Maddison, but so was Schar's. No rhyme or reason to any of it aside from preferring some laundry over others.

[Kid Icarus]

Was never a red but then neither was Schär's so it's just another joke.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

I thought it was a red, certainly far less reason to overturn it than with Schar. Bizarre decision. 

[RodneyCisse]

Our ref last night was so far out of their depth, was mental how often he was in the way or too far away to make a decision.

[Erikse]

Lots of things they are being overly strict on to get rid of, but diving still gets rewarded way too much. I can understand that people don't want VAR to get involved even more, but I wouldn't mind them overturning incidents where a player obviously dives, and then book them insetad. Even if it's in the middle of the pitch. Because diving is a much bigger issue than Hall punching the air for half a sec from an awful decision. Diving is too rewarding currently, and with low risk.

Couldn't agree more. Cheating and unsporting behaviour is generally rewarded. Good example is the Kudus on Van de Ven one today. Before VAR intervenes Kudus steps on him several times and pushes him in the face after Van de Ven rightly gets up and goes "what the hell are you doing?". They get a yellow each. It should be okay to push someone back after they try to hurt you from behind ie Diaz on Schar.

 

The only thing you're not allowed to do (unless you are certaint teams) is shout at the ref when they keep making idiotic decisions.

Didn’t buy Gordon or Bruno’s dives to win cheap free kicks. Didn’t give what looked a blatant one on Barnes at the end. Yet a gust of wind knocking a Brighton player over and he couldn’t wait to give a foul. Shocker. 

[Pilko]

An absolute joke today from start to finish, gave them every single little decision. Absolute wanker.

[Erikse]

I was starting to wonder if he was trying to hard to avoid home bias.. Can't remember the last time I saw this many "small" errors all go one way.

[geordiesteve710]

First half performance was scandalous, second half he was giving daft decisions both ways and it seemed incompetence more than anything more sinister.

[huss9]

anyone reckon it was clear pel when the lad fell on the ball. definitely controlled it with his arm.

His first half insistence with blowing his whistle for anything involving them was a disgrace. Halls yellow too FFS, getting booked for knowing the refs fucked up

I'm all for sorting out dissent, especially with the effect it can have on the grassroots game when we see top players screaming in a refs face for instance. 

 

But no idea what Hall got booked for. It was a pretty small reaction in the heat of the moment to an awful decision. They're not robots and we don't want them to be.

Agree with this totally. 

 

It's been a scourge for a long time and is becoming even more blatant now that players are being punished for reacting to being cheated.

That's exactly that, this ref will no doubt bend over backwards to help the big 6 when they attack him en masse. Impossible to know someone's cheating and act normal
