Premier League Games | 30/31 August '25

[remember arthur mann]

That was disgraceful.

 

[homerdog]

So what stops the next bloke in var letting that go!

Depends what team VAR has been told to 'look after'.

 

[Norbert D]

And the Bobb one we all remember:


No penalty of course.

Fernandes does it - United get a penalty (foul the other way)
Van Der Ven does it - No foul
Muniz does it - Foul (goal ruled out)

How can this continue?

Was at the game but first time I have seen this, don’t recall it being on the highlights package. That’s a blatant foul on Bobb. Bent

 

[deano ou812]

Time for a full investigation into these refs and VAR officials,the manipulation of our game now to get the desired outcome,anyone thinking it’s just poor incompetent officials needs to open their eyes ..Sick to the teeth of it,I can’t even celebrate a goal properly when we score as you are waiting for the inevitable VAR check and the microscopic analysis looking for something anything to rule it out.

 

[lonestay]

The question is, by who?

From somewhere that has a vested interest in the right result to the right team . Is that the prem itself? Don't think it's pigmol they are the foot soldiers to get the results required, gambling consortiums? Who knows? From the game point of view easy to have someone who represents the interested party on the reffing loop to put their view forward about what should happen in the game .

 

[MCFC1993]

Joe Cole is right as well, Chalobah stayed down to make VAR make a decison.

 

[Betterdeedthan red]

I've given watching apart from our games

 

[Ithryn Luin]

If that would have been us with a corner coming a whole minute after the 8 minutes, the **** would have blown his whistle for half time. Jones is bent!

 

[Zenmanc]

Just catching up on the disallowed Fulham goal .. i thought VAR was supposed to improve the game. That was a total shite decision. At least have the balls to make the call in real time.

 

[waspish]

I’m looking forward to hearing Howard Webb’s explanation as to how the decision was arrived at and how lessons will be learned from it. Billy bullshit he should be called

Any outcome of any decision can be argued anyway the corrupt kunts wants

 

[hertsblue]

Fulham fucked over twice last weekend by the Rags and again today. It’s beyond a joke now and if I was Fulham I wouldn’t come out for the 2nd half

 

[I'm Blue]

I’m looking forward to hearing Howard Webb’s explanation as to how the decision was arrived at and how lessons will be learned from it. Billy bullshit he should be called

Explanations don’t do jack shit.
What we want is consistent decisions.
Something video replays was supposed to improve.
These refs are incompetent, biased and corrupt.
Some of the decisions I’ve seen since it was introduced tells me all 3 are true.
Biased and corrupt when it comes to certain teams 100%

 

[lonestay]

They need to grow a pair.

It's about time they took back some responsibility, and tell the bitch in the box with the brew to shut the fuck up.

Very true but if they did they don't get a lucrative prem game the next fixture .

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

I just hope it’s actually corrupt because if they’re that fucking incompetent, the game is officially done.

 

[gray740]

They don`t actually need a ref anymore ,they do not make any decisions anymore anyway ,"Oh he`s going to the screen to have a look " equals VAR goal disallowed fuck this glad I don`t go anymore to be honest much easier on the mind to watch on the box .

 

[bluwes]

Just HOW in the name of fuckity fuck can you blame us yanks for that? The referee is a Brit, the VAR group are Brits even Richard Masters and Howard Webb are British. FFS

You don’t get it do you. The red cartel has turned into the Yank cartel and they will be the ruin of the Premier league

 

[willipp]

Same useless **** on VAR that deemed Dean Hendersons blatant red card fair play.

 

[Tracking back]

Re the disallowed goal, why dont we hear what var are saying to the ref when they send him to the monitor.

Are they "convincing" him to a decision, it stinks.

All communications between var and refs etc should be available to the teams post match so they can see how they came to a decision and lodge complaints if they feel necessary.

As it stands there is literally no transparency, just the pundits to relay what they are told.

Personally, I dont trust the process one little bit.

That's far too transparent for these cockroaches.

They like to operate in the shadows.

They've found themselves a very effective tool to manipulate certain games and keep the status quo.

Look what happened to those filthy fuckers from Trafford at Grimsby, no VAR to bail them out.

You could make yourself a lot of money this weekend, if you put a flutter on the rags getting at least one controversial decision go their way against Burnley.

 

[mexico1970]

Cole and Carney could have been separated at birth.

 

[Bluemoon dan]

Only thing to say about Chelsea is they don't look a good side on this showing. Been very lucky with a lot of help from Rob "I love myself" Jones.

Have to say this half has shown the worst side of modern football for me - players feigning injury, holding heads when not touched kind of thing. Chelsea players seem intent on drawing fouls rather than entertaining fans! Christ knows the FA need to get a check on this so called game play antics - should take a leaf from rugby league players who mostly just get on with it rather than try and get opponents into trouble.

I've said it countless times that the main thing we need to take from rugby league is allowing the physios on without stopping the game. Instantly stops players going down to halt play and if anything better for player safety as it means treatment will be there much quicker for those who do genuinely need it.
