Agree.
Some tiny device installed in a fixed position in the shirt of every players like the collar for example would fix all the shit about this. But hell, how FA and the refs would influence the game as they want to if that is implemented.
Howay man, it was an easy penalty
All helps progress the sports washing project though
Cheats are prospering by just making it ‘look’ like a penalty.
That was a ridiculous decision. How they can't see he's thrown his leg out is beyond me.
Rugby tackles aren't a pen now.
That Newcastle decision is ridiculous. Wilson straight up body checked loris
Strongly disagree. They’re both running towards the ball and into each other, both having an equal right to go towards the ball with nobody being in control of it. If Wilson fouls Lloris then Lloris fouls Wilson too (you can’t say that Lloris gets the ball either since it falls to Wilson after the collision) The arm movement from Wilson is just bracing for impact and what made both players stop was the body-to-body contact and not the arm, because if it was the arm that made Lloris bounce off him like that then Wilson’s the strongest man in the world. So given that Wilson’s entitled to go for the ball and has the right to his position on the pitch, where’s he supposed to go once Lloris messes it up? Vanish into thin air?
We’ve seen referees repeatedly not giving fouls for what’s a “coming-together”. If that’s not one of those then such a thing doesn’t exist.
Makes perfect sense considering we’ve got the EPL’s Wacky Wefs™
Wilson held loris back. Literally held him. Wilson was no where near the ball and is not in control of it. Loris is clearly in control of the ball and wilson impedes him he can't move towards the ball because Wilson arm and body has stopped him. Thats as clear a foul as you'll ever see.
Mctom was just given a penalty against him for much less. Its clear. If that was against us we'd be calling for war
Anyone have a gif of the Lloris / Wilson play? Can’t find it on YT.
Nobody’s in control of the ball. They’re both approaching a loose ball from opposite directions and then the ball disappears from between them because Lloris literally can’t get it under control. The fact that you’re comparing it to McTominay’s bear hug from behind shows that you’re completely misjudging the situation.
West Ham allowed to play handball every fecking week.
How was that allowed to stand? Kehrer keeping the ball alive there volleyball style.
I will never understand how you can see a clear handball, but since it was someone else who scored its okey. Its insane to me, like a goal erases the handball?
I thought VAR would improve this season not get 10 times worse. Some of the decisions are mind blowing .
Antonio was playing volleyball the other week too before scoring.
Surprised to see Dyche and Carragher agreeing it should stand. On replays there, it looks like Kehrer actually moves his arms towards the ball as it comes over. Just looks bizzare.
Gabriel Jesus
"I spoke with him straight after and he said 'if you go down before maybe I can give a penalty'. But I think I was fair, I tried to hold and keep standing and tried to finish the action but in the end he grabbed me and it was impossible, so I go down normally."
The Ref (Robert Jones) straight up tells Jesus he was punished for trying to stay on their feet. In a game where he booked Saka for simulation despite the challenge taking him down. Why are our officials so poor?
Saka fouled the Southampton player
Unfortunately that is the law
Ridiculous how that handball was allowed, he had plenty of time to get his hands out the way. Then you see goals disallowed when the ball just bounces up and hits the arm accidentally
If any of us were as crap in our jobs as these refs are at using VAR in this league we'd be sacked within a week. Dreadful.
Not even a look at that tackle from Lerma? JFC
Not sure how the West Ham goal was allowed but at least the VAR officials are consistent.
Consistently shit.
Consistently shit.
Watch it. Loris literally is already passed Wilson he already took the ball by him. Wilson then stops him carrying on his run. He has already beaten wilson thats the point. If i beat a player with a dribble and that player stops me getting the ball by blocking or holding me back. Thats a foul
How is that not handball
It's quite rare for VAR now to do ... anything? Overrule a call!?
The ones from United games are the soft Odegaard foul and that nonsense Rashford "handball".
Otherwise, a whole variety of shocking decisions (the Sociedad penalty, the non-call penalty on Sancho vs Newcastle, the West Ham goal today) just happen, the refs give it, and the VAR says nothing.
In this age of pSxG-G and all, I wonder if anyone keeps stats on overrule rates by VAR?

Somehow it's worse than the Newcastle game. My god the incompetence of refs these days. This is insanity
There needs to be consequences for refs to this shite.
That was the strangest call I've seen all season. Even the announcers did not get how bad it was..... I usually stay out of this because things tend to work out over the season but VAR not catching that means things are very broken.
Yep ridiculous. And Martial's against City also shouldn't a penalty.

That is crazy. Why does that one big Soton dude keep trying to head butt?!?! WTF, even went for a little neck grab too.
I love watching bad things happen to Arsenal's Jesus on the pitch, but that was awful.
You're bringing up an inconsequential penalty from a game weeks ago which was a totally different type of incident to make what point exactly?
It's here. It was a coming together but Lloris throws himself down looking for a foul and then just can't block the shot when he gets back up.
Referee/VAR are consistently shit .
No one mentioned that Martial pen in this thread.
