How can a qualified ref actually look at that and think no penalty? I’m amazed I honestly fucking am. Just how? What goes through their heads? “Oh he’s only just swiped him out it’s fine no penalty”... no difference if my nan was out there reffing and she’s bloody dead!

Its because they still feel they can make it up as they go along.

Forget the opposition or the score, im fucking fuming because that is exactly the type of decision VAR is supposed to give you and at the first time of asking we get nothing.

I'm surprised they haven't mentioned the respective team costs.

There was a graphic on screen.

Var is gonna be a fuck up next season in the league,I’ve said time and time again certain teams will benefit while others are fucked over sorry to be going off topic..

You could see the ref say, “I didn’t see it”. I suppose that’s all they have to say to make it not a clear and obvious mistake.

 

[Ban-jani]

bit like the fa cup game when the ref blew early feeling sorry for the opposition

The more we win by tonight though means how many we can rest in the return leg.

That penalty affects us still.

Oldius has caught a few.

Indeed — he absolutely meant it, he just didn’t want to be an arse and celebrate it like he won the WC final.

It spoke for itself, you could see that in the Burton player’ faces, so bo need to twist the knife.

Think it's his first goal for us as well so fair dues to him for keeping the celebrations low key.

We've still got a half left, it'll be at least 6

You must be watching a different broadcast they went on about it a bit ago.

Several times on ESPN+.

To be fair, though, this time it sounded more like they had the producer in their ear and just wanted to check off the box, as they moved beyond it fairly quickly.
