gbandit Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 It’s been talked about a lot but that Spurs - Brighton game is the most appalling game I’ve ever seen from the officials. They all need to be fired, every one of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 We also benefitted from the Bournemouth hand ball at home. It was never ever a handball Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) Just caught the highlights of the Brighton game, I think Mitona’s should be had all like, if not then the rules need readjusting as there’s too much leeway for controlling the ball with the top of your arm like that. The rest are ridiculous, VAR in it’s current form isn’t fit for use like, it benefited us yesterday though as Brighton are a better side than Tottenham and Man Utd.

Other than that, no. Some of the most popular statements being made on here concerns VAR absolutely fucking us over all the time and showing preference for the "top six", which is false. I've already made my opinion quite clear on the subject, the standard of refereeing and there not being a unanimous decision reached amongst PL refs on how to use VAR is an absolute shitshow. If there was a set of rules all VAR refs had agreed to follow, as well as the standard of referees being much higher, VAR wouldn't be an issue. The reality at the moment however is that the referees are shit and there are no set rules for how they are to use VAR, which makes VAR absolute shit in action for the Premier League. The standard of referees being absolute shit in the PL has been an issue for years, though. They're not elite athletes, they have inflated egos and they can't handle criticism. Referees at the top level need to be at least close to par fitness wise as the players they are meant to control. The PL refs all seeming to share the same narcissistic tendencies doesn't help either when you're meant to be impartial. These tables are useless Kaiz, what about if VAR doesn’t check a decision (or it isn’t obvious to whoever is tallying up these points that they have)? Do they get taken into consideration? I mean we saw VAR go miles out of their way to chalk off Anderson’s goal against Forrest, how many other goals like that have stood, and not even been noticed? It’s near impossible to calculate, but basically every marginal offside decision (many we won’t be aware of they’re that tight or just plain outrageous) now needs to be factored into the equation.

Tsunami Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 That VAR table should also include incidents that VAR should have asked the ref to view, but didn’t, and also where VAR have overturned a correct/ not clear and obvious error. I refuse to believe we are 2 points up on decisions this season. Pope is is the only decision, against Wolves, where I can immediately think we got away with one. We’ve had some right howlers the other way. A lot of our “positive” VARs have been pretty clear that the ref got it wrong in the 1st place. That Palace decision could yet mean we miss out on Champs League. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KetsbaiaIsBald Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 The ref had the perfect unobstructed view of the incident. After he was surrounded he indicated coming together. From a worse angle he game a penalty that was not clear what happened to the foot. The is no way we get the penalty. But in the end it forced the changes and probably contributed to us winning.

Rich Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 It’s amazing how bad the decisions are even when the referees are given time to review them endlessly, mind.

Sean Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) It's not even guesses, as swap places and Spurs get that penalty, along with the benefit of doubt in at least one of the handball calls. It's unconscious bias at best, and corruption at worst.] Apologising is useless too, as they don't learn from these mistakes, and no-one is actually held accountable. The same people will make the same awful decisions, favouring the bigger sides, next week or the week after. Edited April 9, 2023 by Sean Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is bound to be. PL clearly had pressure from the Government to approve the buyout and the big four will not have been pleased.
