VAR? No? Pitch is ass. Officiating, ass as usual. Have to love football.

didnt even know VAR was in operation ?! why havent any key decisions been looked at

 

[Eds]

Another stonewall not given even with VAR

Shoulder into the back is a fkin penalty.
These commentators are shite

This pitch is now hard
Not taking a stud

Understand why they don't want to give us a pen given the circumstances but doesn't do a lot for the credibility of VAR.

Maybe the lads popped out of the VAR van for a cuppa and missed it. Must be pretty cold in the back since the windows don't close properly...

 

[Gabriel]

No, but he has shown a Gareth Barry/Fernandinho like ability to spot danger & sweep it up, the only player other than Fern who I have seen do it.

He could perhaps learn to do it as an occasional, emergency player, for the first team.

Yes. There are times, however, when he is not so good playing with his back to the opponents and can be caught out. If we go another season with players filling in as emergency cover, we're not going to progress as a team.

Thats 2 out of 2 decisions Var should have awarded us a penalty but hasnt. Not surprised

I wonder what studs our players are wearing. The Burton players don’t appear to slipping around.
