[Blumers Bloomers]

For all of us that correctly predicted a United goal out of the blue (ie everyone on the planet), pat yourselves on the back.

Special commendation for anyone who thought the ref would have a role.

It’s all so predictable. I should start putting money on it

 

[Briggs1969]

Chelsea do not lay down for this lot!

And the plastic twats in the stand suddenly find their voices after 20mins of silence.

Refs are gonna call a lot of pens this season, even at the slightly contact because they feel like it's gonna be checked over in the back office. But the back office is only going to overturn clear and obvious errors, so I expect to see a lot of pens this season. Probably a benefit to us though considering the way we play.

LA LIGA
Penalties awarded season before VAR: 113
Penalties awarded season after VAR: 128

La Liga shows a clear increase in the number of penalties awarded in this post-VAR dystopian. An increase of around 12% is definitely enough to take notice of, but it isn’t sharp enough to give us a clear conclusion either. Perhaps things will settle next season. Hasta la vista, baby.

SERIE A
Penalties awarded season before VAR: 137
Penalties awarded season after VAR: 126

Unlike La Liga, the Serie A tells a different story. Here, the number of penalties has actually decreased since the introduction of VAR. Not exactly the penalty-fest that some might’ve imagined.

BUNDESLIGA
Penalties awarded season before VAR: 98
Penalties awarded season after VAR: 93

The Germans have mirrored their Italian friends, with yet another decrease in the number of penalties after the introduction of VAR.

But I see what you mean about them being given by the pitch ref initially just in case he thinks it’ll need reviewing, could increase.

Zouma is the defender equivalent of Benteke.

 

[jared]

Stupid penalty to give when he has two other Chelsea players covering him

 

[Briggs1969]

How do they do it ?

Every time pal! Every time!

 

[Decepticon]

It was a penalty lol!

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Chelsea are going to struggle this season
