robbo_11 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Fail to see how that penalty is awarded and not sure if it is the new VAR implementation, but surely the assistant referee can review the angles they've just shown?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrisjraby Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Can't wait for Bruce to say the penalty decision was what cost us the game, as if we'd been in it up until that point Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 We deserved to lose on account of the Sunday morning defending but fuck me, how on earth has VAR not overturned that pen? I could see at first glance that he got the ball and yet despite replays they've they've given it anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazag555 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Atrocious 2nd half. Who'd have thought that back 5 would perform so badly, oh yes everyone except the cabbage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 We should never have conceded that 2nd and 3rd goal. ASM should have just fucking passed it and the 3rd was never a penalty. Can see Bruce focusing on that in his post match. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Duper Branko Strupar Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Didnt watch. Thought I was in for a nightmare afternoon when Wilson scored early. Couple of hours later we come good, though. Odds were always high so I shouldnt have worried. Glad the cheer Bruce, support the club, boo blacks, buy the shirt and tat, Ashley wants to sell, "Am a GORDEE" lads were treated to a glorious day out today. You see you put the work in and you nail your flag to the mast you get your rewards. I'm just beaming for them.

robbo_11 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 The second half was abysmal, second to every ball and positioning across the team was poor leading to huge gaps West Ham just played around. I'm not sure if Lewis is going to be up to scratch, but against Villa you need to drop Ritchie who was poor today. It looks like ASM was given a free role, but it was at a detriment to the entire team as we lacked any balance from left to right. Positive play in the first half, but it is going to be a long season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ref is allowed to run and look at it on the monitor so when it goes to VAR he should be over there every single time and watching it while talking to the VAR officials. Taking their word for it when he has the option to see it again himself as well is a fucking joke tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonArmy1892 Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) I did actually clap when we scored the second but man, fuck it all really. The people going deserve that shit.

Big Geordie Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Shambles of a 2nd half. They looked clueless when they came out after half time - didn't know what to do and panicked. . Rank bad defending, midfield and management from Bruce too. Gonna be a long season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The referee has had a stinker in that case and the person reviewing the footage. Frustrating performance anyway nevermind with these little things on top!

I had just about enough left in my tank to coast through The Takeover That Never Was, and now that the season is actually here there was nothing today. In prior years this would have fucked off my whole Sunday if not week until Wednesday. Now I'm just looking forward to chores, which might actually be a worse fate.

Stottie Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 Big Al and Sir Les reckon the penalty was a joke. I have to say I agree. As fine margins deciding games go, a free penalty is quite a big one. Maybe VAR is not allowed to over-rule Martin Atkinson. His performance also included not booking a player because he was pretending he had cramp. None of the above means we weren't shit second half, because we were. This was the perfect kind of opponent for us, positive enough to come to win but shit at the back and easy to get at, so it's a relatively easy three points missed. Weaker teams will come to St. James and force us to take the initiative, and we know how we struggle with that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
