Fulham (H) | PL | Post Match Thread

To be fair there were plenty of references to Wolves being hard done to. It’s all I read the day after on SM.

There’s a big difference between "hard done by" and "let down by VAR".

Probably the best player in the world at appearing to do fuck all.

I didn't know till yesterday that there are no longer any Meat and Potato pies at the Etihad.

In that case not going to make the trek up north for any home games until reinstated.

Saw the match day thread saying how shit we were, so tuned into the second half to see why we were so bad - looked great to me! Get in, hope Shearer does one about VAR on MOTD!

Change at half time , much better second half , the first half wasnt great tbf

Ultimately, the football world is thankful that you retired from officiating.

Having spent the last week trying to tell us that Casemiro’s goal was offside (when nobody in the real world thought it was), you’ve now moved on to try and suggest Akanji was onside (when pretty much everyone deemed him offside, including Haaland and Lillo!).

What these decisions do is show who is objective and who isn’t when debating.

Pretty much everyone deemed him offside? Michael Oliver didn't, and neither did VAR Tony Harrington. Haaland and Lillo might have their opinions, as do many others, but what are these opinions based on? The evidence of their eyes maybe?

Whenever I engage in debates about referee decisions, my opinions are ALWAYS based on the Laws of the Game. I don't see how I could be more objective than this.

Also, when attempting to ridicule someone about their previous contributions, it is advisable to carry out some basic fact checking.

I actually said I thought Casemiro was onside (see below). As for Akanji, nobody is saying he wasn't in an offside position. I maintain that it was correct to not penalised him though.

Yeah, you’ve just confirmed my decision for me. Too da loo.

Maybe because he erected a statue of a peadophile outside their ground when he was in charge.

MJ was found not guilty in a court of law , they knew him better than you or i

You've made a decision? And what have you decided?

 

[Vienna_70]

It was allowed because Walker (off the pitch) played him onside

A player off the pitch will not keep an opponent onside.

If Pep continues to start Alverez then I'm going to start to get confident on my 20 plus league goals bet. :)

A player who leaves the pitch is considered on the goal line for offsides. So a good chance Walker clears the Sheff U shot off the line, from behind Eddie if he was hypothetically stood in the right place

 

[Hes the left back remember]

A player off the pitch will not keep an opponent onside.

Actually a player off the pitch does play an oppent on side as per the laws of the game. Scenario is scramble in the box and two defenders behind keeper beyond the goal line shot goes in , do those two defenders not count or just disappear ? Of course they do check the laws of the game .

Fair enough.

So what was the story about Kyle turning up half cut on Wednesday? Absolute bullshit again. Too much of this fake rumours/stories on here lately.

Well why publicise it then?

 

[Keepingthefaithsince1976]

All we seem to see these days are silly decisions. Id argue there are more now than there was pre VAR

(although I'm sure thats not the case)

It's to keep everyone talking about it. It's not about right or wrong decisions and teams getting the correct call. It's about keeping the premier league in the news and then employing more and more people to help with making the most basic of decisions. They have to spend the money they recieve from the clubs somewhere so they've invented var. Before that it was 4th officials and next it will be something else. Its a bit similar to the people who organise champions league finals and the logistics of getting thousands of people to a stadium, organising refreshments and toilet facilities. It's not rocket science but they make a hash of it anyway.

I’m not though am I, the fuckwit who posted it it on Wednesday did. I’m calling him/her out.
