Premier League Games 2/3 November

[Craig]

The game is completely fucked. It's quite impressive really how they keep managing to mess up a brilliant and very simple sport.

having watch the clip so many times i now feel that no matter what card is given there was no malice or intent to hurt the player, you have to do what ever to try and win the ball back or break up the play so a foul is just a foul, yes its sloppy by sun and he was only doing the right thing for his team and giving it 100% for the club

the pain will haunt sun for a long time and maybe he will lose the will to tackle and it affects his game. yes you can not replace the pain of the everton player went through or the long term injury he suffers, but no malice was meant by son when he clearly is showing remorse straight away, i think the red card is right and will give sun some time to get himself in the right frame of mind to play football, as for gomes all we can do is pray for a full recovery and be pain free and playing again very soon

His break was caused as he landed not by Aurier, it’s clear that’s what caused the damage. It was a one in a few million chance the way it happened. I saw a lad playing cricket get a similar injury, he played a sweep shot but didn’t move his feet, twisted around and snapped his ankle. Never seen it before or since, just freak accidents.

An American NFL player Allen Hurns suffered the same injury in early Jan 2019 and was available for the new season starting August (pre season) so Gomes should be back for next season.

I don’t think the landing alone was enough. It looks like his studs stuck into the turf and the weight of Aurier sliding in snapped his ankle.
Not that it really matters, and I hope he makes a full recovery, it looked awful.

See if you can find a copy of the LotG from the 50's and compare it with the LotG for 2019-20. That's how they've done it. And add into mix the use of technology, it shouldn't be much of a surprise how we started with a three wheel Robin Reliant and we now have a 32-wheel juggernaut with a pint of petrol!

Is that supposed to mean that because technology is used and has improved significantly that it must be used in a sport that was great before it?

As much as i think VAR is completely shite i was actually referring to Son getting a red card because someone broke there ankle after it. Then all the tears and we can't show the full incident etc. Shame for Gomes but there'll be shirts with his name on and a minutes silence next week. People need to get a grip.

Possibly but I had it on Sky Plus and rewound it and his ankle definitely went as he landed but Auriers tackle was a split second after.

No matter how great the game was before VARce appeared on the scene my overriding concern was that there were too many games the result of which didn't reflect what had actually happened on the pitch. Technology, as in other sports, was to be the 'great corrector'! No more going home feeling robbed, or even having scabbed points with an incorrect decision. The game should ooze integrity; the results should reflect that integrity. It never did, and the current application of VARce has made a poor situation worse.

The trouble with VAR at present is that the same idiots, who could not get it right on the pitch, are the ones operating the system.

Also have they completely forgotten about the fans who actually attend matches, we haven't got a scooby what the hell is going on when the referee consults VAR. That surely can not be correct, we have a right to know what the hell is going on and be constantly updated.

The way they have started to tinker with it since the start of the season shows that it should not have been brought in until more trials had taken place. That disallowed goal against Spurs was a bloody disgrace.

Yeah, if anything it is easier for corruption than ot was before due to the camera frames etc.

the deli ali handball, fuck me how blatant was that, but not given, whereas laportes handball,shocking both decisions,as for the son red card ,he didn't deserve a red ,but he wasn't going to carry on his head had gone,


also struck me during the match,the look of horror on the fans and players faces over a broken ankle ,imagine the horrors the war veterans saw who were being remembered .
