Match of the Day - 2018/19

Wow they sure glossed over our performance, to fit in the chat about the "injustice" of the first goal. Well as long as they do the same when Liverpool or United get those decisions, right?... Right?

Exactly as I thought it would be though, from the BBC.

I seem to remember a comment along the lines of you need some luck sometimes when Milner was 3 yards offside. Didn’t hear that today.

Watching the Newcastle v Everton game, and it's tempting to imagine what the score would be if it was played in 12 months under VAR and how many would stay on the park.

In all fairness, Pickford should have went imo, no attempt to get the ball.

Fully agree. That's one of those clear errors (same with Newcastle's winner) that VAR has to overturn.

Hmm, how the fuck has Sissoko not got a red at the end of that game as well, shove and a headbutt WTF

That's a 'çoming together of heads'. It was a bit like Nasri. If we get a red for a headbutt, I want the recipient to be sparked out. ;-)

Thought the BBC commentry team was clueless as to why the goal was given. Even in the studio they were clueless.

Can I assume the commentary team and pundits didn't include a qualified referee as is often the case when they discuss the laws of the game? I thought it might have been offside at the game and the liner flagged fairly quickly. Also, why weren't several Watford players booked for surrounding the ref and shouting at the linesman both before and after the decision?

It seemed like they discussed our opening goal far longer than they discussed the highlights of the game itself.

Noticed they really dubbed down the crowd noise for our game.
