Premier League Games 30/31 Dec + 1/2 Jan '24

Like all things controlled by humans, 100% correct is an aim, not a reality.

We've been discussing all week at how it needs to change the bar for decisions like this.

Villa got one on Saturday and the dippers 2 tonight. They all should have been yellow cards for simulation, rather than verified because their legs were tickled.
And every pundit goes to the touch phallacy. But thery were touched….so what, youre allowed to touch. Its clear the touch did not impede in any way and so is not a foul. All i hear is ”well he was touched so its a foul”. Drives me mad. He clearly, very clearly, dived After taking two uninhibited steps.
 
And the commentary.
I didn’t think males could have multiple orgasms in 90 minutes. Drury is an absolute disgrace with his fawning commentary, no way were some of those comments “off the cuff” pre meditated, nauseating in the extreme. He used to commentate with Beglin years ago, I always hated the pro Dipper agenda, nothing has changed.

Spot on, just like the Villa penalty against Burnley, contact doesn’t mean a foul.

It'd be nice if they could aim for 50% correct as at the minute VAR just favours cheats who initiate contact and throw themselves over, all VAR look for is contact and nothing else. It's a system that promotes cheating.
