How on Earth has the referee given a free here. https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/1g848o1/darwin_nunez_and_arne_slot_after_liverpool_were/ The one where Jota is about to be clean through and they give a foul for Reece James’ delayed dive was nearly as bad as anything I saw in our game.

Likelylad Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 Our refs are poor across most games. Obviously the big errors get the headlines but the overall general performances are woeful for what is a billion pound product. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the big errors get the headlines but the overall general performances are woeful for what is a billion pound product. Could more money be invested in it? Pay them more? Better training? Not sure what the answer is. As it is a really tough job and think they get undeserved shit a lot of the time. But VAR hasn’t helped. I feel like they’re being undermined for grey area decisions. Plus they also seem to be reluctant to give certain decisions and then can’t wait to go overboard for others. It’s like the fact they have VAR there as a backup plays on their mind subconsciously. Can’t go back now. But I wish we could. I think we’d all accept these fag paper offsides, handball and borderline penalty/red card decisions a lot easier. I know I would.

Pata Posted October 21 Share Posted October 21 (edited) If VAR worked like it should they could play on and the ref could give the foul later if necessary. All this ’respect the original call’, high threshold to intervene and having two separate referees (on-pitch and VAR) means no one knows anymore when VAR should intervene and 99% of the time everything depends on the original call. Which is hilarious considering the reason VAR even exists. Edited October 21 by Pata Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago How have I logged in and had to go to the second page to find this thread? This unfit clown thought the foul on Bruno was not only not a red card, but not a free kick, and then thought the tickle on Nkunku was a penalty. Absolutely shite throughout as well.

Godawful He was garbage but at least he was semi-consistent with his 'anything goes' decision-making until the Nkunku penalty. VAR did really well to take it away, there was contact so would have been easy to just hide behind that and do nothing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have begrudgingly felt VAR has been decent in it's last few games for us apart from the non intervention for the penalty in the Brighton game.

joeyt Posted 15 hours ago Share Posted 15 hours ago You can probably count on one hand the amount of decisions that get overturned when a ref has given a penalty which shows what a hilariously bad decision that was Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted 8 minutes ago Share Posted 8 minutes ago The ref was atrocious. Flipped between giving every niggly foul to letting everything go no matter how blatant at the drop of a hat. Like the same challenge 30 seconds apart. One would be a foul. The other play on His interpretation of advantage and when he was calling things back or not. The players genuinely seemed confused about what he was giving or not giving most the game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
