Oh ffs

Here we go, here we go.

Think even they might have overstretched today. No Chelsea appeals for a foul is one thing but when only 2 people think it’s a foul, and that’s the VAR and the referee (who didn’t think it was a foul in real time) then surely the time for real scrutiny is at hand?

Who does that scrutiny though?

 

[I'm Blue]

How about the foul beforehand?

 

[AlthamBlue]

Jesus fucking christ this is shite.

 

[FromPollockToSilva]

There’s a major problem if fans, players, managers, analysts, basically everyone else in the game can look at an incident and come to the completely opposite conclusion of the match officials

And a video decision, on top of that. Not split-second, field of play decision. They sat and watched that over and over and came to a conclusion that 99% of the football community finds not just incorrect but utterly indefensible

 

[ninjamonkey]

Pen that. However, there was a blatant push on the fulham defender immediately before it. The foul should overrule the penalty.

There was a foul on Iwobi before this handball by the way, if they give this there is going to be chaos.

Iwobi was stepped on like Chalobah. Either they're both fouls or not at all.

Not on Howard Webb's watch !

Neither foul though

Stood on his foot!
You set the president.
Fulham should walk off the pitch if this is given.

 

[Mentis]

So Chelsea handballed it first?

It should overule it, we both know it won't.

Handball by Pedro, foul on Iwobi but just waiting, they'll award a pen to Chelsea

You’ve well understated that percentage.
Must be closer to 99.999999% ;-)

 

[MCFC1993]

If they give this penalty I'm turning it off.

Pedro handballs it accidentally, Iwobi fouled (according to the Chalobah foul), Sessegnon accidentally handballs it.

 

[TonyM]

This is ridiculous with about 4 different possible fouls.

 

[deano ou812]

I’m out that’s it,I fucking love football but this is killing my love of it completely..

 

[JULES]

thats a pen

 

[mancityscot]

clear pen that, but Fulham have been absolutely mugged off in this game. VAR is completely destroying the game we love.
