Yeah, the laws are an ass. They feel like we felt that day.I'm still fuming about that goal. Gotta feel for the Fulham fans regarding ours.
There are supposed to be stricter rules this season regarding abusing / arguing with officials .Oliver should have booked every last one of them they acted like spoilt kids , my grandsons U-12 team would never be allowed to act like that , but all Fulham's players reactions do is encourage this type of behaviour further down the football pyramid , it should have been nipped in the bud.How long did we moan after the Rashford goal? I genuinely can’t remember, but when a team feels totally wronged, time doesn’t seem to matter.
I get what you’re saying, but there has to be some common sense. Oliver probably knew he might have fucked up or been fucked on by VAR.There are supposed to be stricter rules this season regarding abusing / arguing with officials .Oliver should have booked every last one of them they acted like spoilt kids , my grandsons U-12 team would never be allowed to act like that , but all Fulham's players reactions do is encourage this type of behaviour further down the football pyramid , it should have been nipped in the bud.
Why ?Gotta feel for the Fulham fans regarding ours.
Akanji made Leno stutter. It’s 100% offside. The law doesn’t include an offside player changing how a keeper makes a save and needs to be added.Why ?
There were about 10 players between Ake and the keeper (pity none of the defenders involved tried actually defending), anyone of them could have distracted the keeper, but when viewed from behind the goal, none did, and he just made a poor save attempt.
Silva needs to stop using the officials to make excuses, and actually worry about what he can sort out, defending set pieces, because that was pretty shite.
If Robinson can move over to the right side he could be the heir to Walker...Antonee Robinson would be an absolutely phenomenal player for us, shame there's no space for him in our squad.
Rodri way off it, giving the ball away multiple times but can forgive him for having an off day considering how consistent he is for us.
Foden growing into the player everyone knows he'll be and looks incredible on that half turn into space.
Good cameo's from Bobb, Gomez, Phillips.
Doku showed promise but the performance was probably what we'd expect from his first start.
Can we have Carlinhos Brown outside West Reception every game, very enjoyable.
Silva is an arsehole but I'd have been livid had we conceded that goal.Why ?

I think there’s quite a bit of the feeling that we’ve been shat on before so we deserve this today, rather than just saying these similar decisions are simply wrong.Silva is an arsehole but I'd have been livid had we conceded that goal.
I stopped giving a fuck about the odd decision we get in our favour, compared to the many we don't that we should, quite a long time ago.Akanji made Leno stutter. It’s 100% offside. The law doesn’t include an offside player changing how a keeper makes a save and needs to be added.
Everyone everywhere is saying it. Even Haaland and Lilo.
Ultimately it didn’t matter, but it was a silly decision for the sport.
I agree also they were had done by on that decision. If that was against us we would have been pissed off rotten. Blatant interference.Why ?

I'd have been blaming the defenders (free unmarked header), and the keeper.Silva is an arsehole but I'd have been livid had we conceded that goal.
We pretty much did last weekendSilva is an arsehole but I'd have been livid had we conceded that goal.
That’s fair enough. You can feel that way and I can empathise with it.I stopped giving a fuck about the odd decision we get in our favour, compared to the many we don't that we should, quite a long time ago.
As usual today, oliver gave most tackles by us as fouls, and almost all of their fouls as "fair".
Interestingly, I watched oliver after he gave the goal, he clearly spoke to the assistant, and the assistant gave a confident thumbs up, it was only at the half way line, that he decided to involve var, and they obviously looked, and still gave it.
For me it's very shit defending and not great keeping, I think we had 3 players, and they 7 defenders between Ake and the keeper, Silva should be looking at that for me.
Spot on with that assessment.Called the hattrick in the pre-match thread.
Whatever the tactics were supposed to be first half didnt work in the slightest and we were very lucky with the offside goal.
Fulham probably the best team we have played so far this season so to hammer them is a worrying sign for our rivals.
How is it "blatent intereference", referee gave goal, checked visually with assistant who gave a thumbs up, var checked it, and said goal.Blatant interference.
