My goodness never thought this game would have such drama.
Premier League Festive Season
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
I was thinking this. Dendocker stands on Mahrez's foot and Mahrez goes down holding his foot. Beglin then proceeds to say there's no tugging after they replay it 5 times.
He would have been penalized if he scored on the rebound.
Yeah but they showed 5 replays and he didn’t figure out it was for the stamp.
What gibberish are the Wolves fans singing now? I can't understand a single word. It's just noise.
It's the rule, Beglin you moron.
VAR for encroachment is like having a surgery for a broken nail. feck off stop overcomplicating football
Harsh, was never a pen then the keeper saves twice but still concedes the goal.
I really hate VAR. What about Bernardo's encroachment?

He’s obviously just an idiot.
'feck VAR'
If that was Liverpool people would be going mad.
See he was trying to imitate Rash's run upSterling
Terrible, terrible penalties
what would have happened if it was tapped in by a City player that was encroaching? Retake of the penalty or free-kick to the defending team?
There is no consistency in the game any more. What the referee will overturn changes on a week by week basis.
Or just stay out of the box until it’s been taken...
Free kick to defending team
Jesus Christ it was for the stamp you stupid tit Beglin. Someone tell him please.
Free kick to the defending team iirc.
Encoaching is the easiest rule to follow.
Just dont fecking do it
This game is bent, bernado Silva was the first one to run in the penalty!
The offender (attacking players) are much less scared to run into the box, because if they encroach, the penalty isnt retaken. The attacker is what is causing defenders to encroach, if both encroach it clearly has to be legal. One player running before is causing the other to follow him.. its a natural muscle reaction
Didn't the Norwich keeper come off the line twice against us and no encroachment given either time? Love the consistency.
People blaming VAR for encroachment 
What?
Can't argue with any of the decisions
It was a red
It was a pen (stood on his foot)
It was encroachment

What about Norwich's encroachment in our game? What about Krul being off the line?
Where is the consistency?

That's bound to happen with different referee's own thresholds. They're still living by a different era's set of rules, which needs to be fixed.
I agree there needs to be changes with the referee's now having strict thresholds in what is overturned, as it's a different game now.
The var tech isn't the issue. It's the idiots who can't create clear rules to follow for each referee/match that are the problem.
That's my issue as well. There is no consistency.
Its a weird dynamic this because City being down to 10 makes them drop deeper and be more compact whilst Wolves who are used to sitting deep and getting behind the ball are not used to being the team to dominate possession. It kind of suits the aims of City now they’re 1-0 up.
This. Absolutely no issues.
People justifying cheating and complaining that VAR is stopping teams getting away with it..
weird..
Right up there with blaming the refs for "spoiling the game" when some player does something stupid and gets sent off.

I love that logic
Yes he was and if he'd scored from the rebound, it would have been a free kick to Wolves. As the defender encroached and cleared the rebound, he is deemed active and therefore penalised for it
Atkinson is blind.
My goodness the Wolves fans are shouting for every fecking thing
Thanks for clearing that up. I'm not entirely sure what happened as I'm listening on the radio.
It looks like they are loosening the restrictions on overturning on field decisions in the Premier League, at last. Been a fair few big decisions in recent weeks that VAR would have totally ignored at the start of the season to protect the on field ref.
They're a nauseating rabble every time i watch them.
I hope we fecking beat them next week. Hate this ground.
less related but enroachment sounds like a potentially big hit aciton film
The sending off was fair, Jota would have scored if not for Ederson's foul.
The penalty was very very soft, I'd be fuming if it got given against us
The retake, I don't know, Bernardo was the player furthest forward, but there was a Wolves player in the box also
Overall City are incredibly lucky to be ahead here.
