Premier League Games 21/22 Sept 2024

To be fair it means they must have a shite run coming up

They never have more than two current top six clubs in a row this season.

Whilst we have a run from 25 January to 25 February that sees us play Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle, Liverpool (and Spurs), with an international break and CL and Cup matches mixed in, if we progress.

Regardless of whether it was intentional or just how the semi-randomised scheduling worked out this season, we definitely have the more difficult schedule from a player rest and rotation standpoint as it was initially laid out.

What pictures was the ref looking at? Can't be the same ones we saw.

The ref

Next week, Howard Webb will be on TV and will apologise for the VAR fuck ups again. Instead of apologising why can’t he just fix it. If we can see obvious penalties, handballs etc. how the fuck can a referee, two assistants, a fourth official , a VAR, and an assistant VAR, all with access to myriad cameras, continue to make such obvious mistakes.

Worldy save by a chap who shouldn’t be on the pitch

 

[BlueRockape]

Just like this nonsense from the West Ham Chelsea game earlier

Yep clear as day pen.
But VAR is bent as fuck not fit for purpose

Leicester Everton game wont go the distance with this rain, hope it's not like this tomorrow or it's not just big coat it's massive coat.

Watching it now, I can't see it not finishing. The pitch is perfectly playable, after an hour of biblical rain. No standing water, the ball is rolling on the ground fine. If it gets to 80 minutes before the pitch starts Waterloogging, the officials might try and soldier on for the last 10 minutes or so.

Mistake or bent ?

 

[skillman]

Can’t believe that Spurs ref hasn’t spotted that in real time. So obviously handball by the keeper, jammy bastards.

Criminal officiating, though. So, so poor

 

[OntarioBlue]

Mistake or bent ?

I don’t normally buy into the corruption conspiracy theories but sometimes you have to wonder what’s going on.

 

[OntarioBlue]

He actually touched the ball twice with his hand. How can the VAR fail to see that ?
