Match of the Day - 2020/21

[bluemc1]

Second one probably wasn’t a pen, first one was so shits given zero

 

[34yearsandstillgoingstrong]

Match of the day excelled last night. At least the refs were consistent in awarding pens to all of the Big 4 and VAR was consistent in not overturning any of the decisions. The "3 Wise men" on MoD were consistent in applauding all of the -often contentious - decisions. That is - apart from those at The Etihad where they felt moved to question the integrity of Moss ( I know ! ) and the whole point of VAR.
LIVERPOOL - Salah clearly sticks his left leg out at a right angle to "initiate contact" and follows up with his trademark swandive ( for MoD - a definite penalty ) At the other end Allinson takes out the Villa Player but for MoD he manages to "get a finger to the ball" and so -for MoD - the right decision ! - NO PENALTY
CHELSEA - umpteenth minute of FergieTime -a coming together of feet -entirely accidental - for MoD -A CLEAR penalty
THE RAGS - Cross into the Norwich area ; CR7 has no chance of getting to the ball , Norwich defender has his hand on CR7's shoulder ; CR7 executes his trademark extravagant swan-dive - PENALTY ( definite Penalty for MoD )
Magliar tugs Norwich player's shirt and performs his usual bear-hug on said player who is bearing down on goal . Nothing given and for MoD's 3 Wise Men not worthy of a mention
Interesting penalty at BRENTFORD. Again deep into Fergie Time . Watford defender attempts a tackle , makes no contact with the Brentford player who-anticipating the challenge -goes down and in the process stamps on the Watford Player's leg. For MoD this was apparently a STONEWALL Penalty.
and so to THE ETIHAD
Wolves player sticks his right arm high in the air to intercept Silva's cross. Ball hit said arm and penalty awarded.
For MoD a totally outrageous decision ; "Moss is incompetent and what is the point of VAR when it is plain to see that the ball hit the Wolves player's armpit" ( forgetting to mention together with the whole of his upperarm )
MoD then showed an earlier claim City had had for a penalty ( City actually had 5 decent claims for penalties ! ) and because that claim was even more obviously a penalty than the one given it would seem - for MoD - that the giving of later penalty demonstrated the incompetence of the officials.
MoD then went on to argue that Wolves were very hard done to with respect to the Jimenez sending off. "Moss had a very poor game today" It seems that Jimenez's booking - for tugging Rodri's shirt and diving in from behind - was totally uncalled for and it directly led to Jimenez's subsequent sending-off. It wasn't Jimenez's fault he was sent off - it was the incompetence of Moss and his obvious bias in favour of City !
Well , we City fans are used to this strange logic from the media . ( and we did get our first penalty of the season !)

Seems to sum it up really well, will no doubt be all rubber stamped by Dermot tomorrow without the fatty Moss is shit part's.

Perfect summarisation.

in fairness the ball bounces downlards after coming off his armpit. Hard to explain how that happens unless it hits his arm which is obviously above the armpit. I thought both were pens. MOTD rightly pointed out Moss had a poor game. Especially on the bookings. He needs to retire, he cant keep up with the speed of games, and hasnt been able to for a few seasons.

This. The direction of the ball if it actually HADNT hit the arm. But none of the so called “know all”, also named pundits, got that.

I was astonished they showed the potential handball for us in the first half to be honest. I was convinced they'd just talk about the one that was awarded and how dodgy it was.

Martin Keown used that one to justify his verdict that the penalty that was given was the wrong decision. He said that because the first one looked more of a penalty and the ref decided it wasn't, then the ref had "set the bar" on what was a penalty. Therefore no way could the second one be a penalty and VAR should have realised this and not given the penalty.

Bizarre logic suggesting one wrong decision on a penalty means all subsequent decisions should be wrong too.

Bizarre logic

That's because he a complete and utter ****, who hates us!

He seems to be obsessed with appearing like the thinking man's commentator.

Which for a thick fuck like him doesnt really work.

Well yeah, but what do you expect from that idiot? If anything, it set the precedent that you don't overturn the on field referee unless you're sure he's made a mistake. In both cases, there was arguably some doubt about exactly where it hit, so they stuck with Moss's decision. That's what they're supposed to do.
