Just watched the replay of the disallowed goal again, what an absolute fucking disgrace of a decision that was. 

 

Two incidents in Premier League games today where the keeper has jumped into a stationary player and won themselves a foul. Utterly pathetic.

Don’t worry, there is some technology in place to ensure that errors are rectified. It is definitely not used to analyse goals to death and find reasons to disallow them.

 

Just fucking get rid of it.

Elbows him full blast in the temple and VAR's like "nah that's fine."

 

That's exactly the sort of shit it should be picking up on, if anything. Stuff the ref might not realistically spot, rather than re-refereeing incidents than the on-pitch guy has already made a call on...

3 major incidents in the past 2 weeks just off the top of my head that could have affected the outcome of our games very badly. Palace given a pen, the likes of which would never get awarded against the cartel in their home games, thankfully missed, Bruno penalized for a total non-foul today that cost us a goal and Tonali brutally and cynically elbowed with nothing given. What is the point of it? Officiating has never been worse.

It’s fucking madness. They hide behind “clear and obvious” but then take nearly 5 minutes looking at that Palace penalty, and then the clear elbow to Tonali today isn’t even looked at by the ref. 
 

I understand that there are some horrendous mistakes made in other leagues, but fucking hell, they are forgivable. VAR is pure corruption, a waste of money and a waste of time.

On another note. When did we last have a 100% record against the 3 promoted sides? I can’t think of any. 

The answer for those who care is 1995.

 

EDIT - this is wrong.

Watching the game in person up in the gods, what was telling for me was how often we turned down the pass into central areas, and why it reinforces for me we need a CM/Someone that can take the ball on half turn between the lines.

 

Willock was often in those spaces, around Isak at times, but we wouldn’t punch the ball to him (either tactical / players didn’t have confidence / Willock didn’t confidently want it) so it would end up having to go wide. During first half up till Isak move LW to get the red, it felt all predictable. 

Thankfully Ipswich are awful, but against competent defensive sides that sit off it still feels we lack the tools to create good chances in open play.

Ref Watch on SSN earlier, Stephen Warnock says its baffling Bruno's 'goal' was disallowed.

Gallagher reckons its disallowed because Bruno turned his back on the keeper, which makes it look more of a barge.

Which would just about be an acceptable excuse for the onfield ref, but the whole point of VAR is to assist where something is not as it may have appeared…

Pathetic, powderpuff goalkeeping, like. Saved from the embarrassment of one of the worst howlers you're ever likely to see by a keeper.

 

If the ref gave the goal there isn't a chance in hell the VAR is overturning it.

Bruno goes to stand still, hold his ground and make a nuisance of himself.  He is then gently pushed into where the keeper is trying to jump.  With the Ipswich defender for some unknown reason deciding this was a good idea :lol: 

 

Sort of reminds me of that disallowed own goal against Palace last season/season before.  Where the foul was given against Willock.  When the Palace player shoved him in mid air, meaning he clattered into the keeper :lol: no pen.  But it was a foul on the keeper by Willock, apparently. 

 

It didn't cost us in the end and I think the penalty decision was ridiculously soft.  So it kind of evens out. 

 

It's pathetic the amount of protection keepers get.  The Leicester keeper against West Ham got away with a similar howler and they didn't overrule it.
