OliVAR on Saturday
Rags have got Alty Taylor
Dippers have got Hooper and Darren LFC England on VAR.

Dazza on VAR again.....nothing to see here honest.

Seriously though, the VAR pricks are all sat at Stockley Park, surely they should be rotated, even if it's not clear & obviously corrupt.

God knows who this Tony Harrington on Var is, reffed 1 championship match in total since the start of 2023 and 1 game as 4th official at Brentford v Fulham.
Inexperienced Var official so nothing Oliver decides will probably be overturned if wrong

Amzing how Bobby Madley has sneaked back in under the radar.

Lee Mason brought back as referee coach in Championship/EFL also

Think you answered your own question there.

OliVAR bottles giving us a penalty. No review needed.

Fulham player breaks jack in two with dangerous challenge. OliVAR gives yellow. New boy in VAR says nowt.


Alti gets a lot of "big" arsenal games I notice.

Just watching SS and ref watch with Mike Dean, analysisng the " incidents " in the rag game last week.

Both the sending off offence for Forest, plus the penalty for Rashford dive and the panel and Dean saying that neither should have been given, and both decisions favouring the rags. How fucking easy and safe when the points are already gifted .

What a fucking surprise with Attwell the bent **** being the ref and the rags needing a hand to get the points.

It is obviously just a " coincidence " that both shit decisions and the ref involved seem to favour the rags :)

You got that right

Hard to reconcile the VAR decision not to give Luton a pen for the Ward Prowse handball with the decision against Jack in the cup final.

I thought oliver was at his very best today (ironic), every tackle by us seemed to be a foul, every foul by Fulham a tackle.

OK maybe an over exaggeration, but I thought he had a poor (or another dodgy) game.

 

[geoff hammond]

Players regularly dive, feign injury, waste time, appeal for everything- basically cheat.
But we have a go at the refs

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Threads on officiating are utterly pointless.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Oliver was shite.

He was doing his upmost to break our momentum in the first half,and as above,despite the scoreline.....he was very much showing Fulham bias with his decision making.It was clear as day from the off he was determined to show Rodri a yellow,

Isn't it up to the refs to clamp down on that little lot though? It's not like the players are going to take any notice of a fans forum.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Wonder what Alty has been instructed to do today?

So players cheat but it’s the refs fault for not stopping them?

Yes.

Interesting...just dropped in the thread and this is where it opened for me....soothsayer @hertsblue but probably not what he thought the VAR issues would be.

 

[geoff hammond]

Yes.

Fair enough.
And the scumbag who breaks into your house and robs you - it’s not his fault, it’s the old bill for not preventing him

I haven’t got the images to post but it’s fucking unbelievable that the former referee Dermott Gallagher claims Akanji was in Leno’s eyeline but Salah wasn’t in the Villa keepers when he’s stood there looking at the exact opposite scenario. Don’t get me wrong, I think Akanji was offside and Fulham were unlucky in that decision, but he (Gallagher) then said Akanji “clearly attempts to play the ball” when he jumps over the thing to get out of the way!

PiGMOL discretion - pefectly reasonable approach :)
