Match Thread | Bournemouth vs Man City (25/08/19)

Exactly. By not giving it even though he saw it. I said same last week about the scum pen when Pogba dived, ref couldn’t wait to give it and lo and behold it doesn’t get overturned even though it was blatant dive. Again, bent ref.

Yep. And it’s why var is fucking useless.

If VAR isn’t overturning any penalty decision why bother reviewing them.

Damn good question, as said earlier, it will be used when littlewoods fc need it though.

If you’re expecting to see a penalty decision over turned, for any side, you’re in for a long wait.

So why review it then?

Shits and giggles?

It’s official, by the way, I am getting a tattoo of David on my chest. ;-)

Rodri has covered every blade of grass since he’s been on. He is going to be some player for us.

 

[bluealf]

It’s been discussed at ridiculous length in the var thread.

Var is very unlikely to ever over rule a ref on a subjective decision like a penalty. It’s not happened once in the league this season.

What is the damned point then?

Rodri is a natural in this system.

Just so they look like they're doing the right thing. That one definitely needs explaining by someone though. The trouble with refs and VAR, is they're untouchable these days. Nobody can question them, and if you do you get banned or fined. Therefore they are in a position to take the piss and not give a toss.

I think Rodri has had more touches and successful passes in the last ten minutes than Ilkay had the entire time he was on.
