Ref Watch

because in Rodri's case the ball hit his arm above the t-shirt line, which was the rule at the time, the rule was then changed to shoulder. Brighton's two goals were correctly ruled out, no arguments there, but they should have had at least one penalty and most likely another one as well. This is the controversial thing about the game as the first one was a nailed on penalty that VAR should be giving in it's sleep.

Mitoma goal ball hits his shoulder, tbats because of the push in his back, if u dissallow the goal for a handball then it should have been a penalty.

Ali mac hits his thigh, nothing clear saying it hits his hand.

Right, so what good is saying we got it wrong and mistakes were made ? SORRY ? you should not be making mistakes with VAR because you sold it to football clubs and fans that it will clear up the (clear and obvious error) that could lead to relegation or winning the title or places for Europe,

we are not just talking about BIG money here, managers, players, owners' futures are on the line here,
then you have the fan's emotions, it's not a game of FIFA football you can just start again,

SO PGMOL how are you going to clear this mess up ? Give Brighton a couple of soft calls in the next game, sorry you can not do that, change the result, again you are not going to do that, replay the game again you're not going to do that,

I know just come out and say sorry and everything will be ok,
Funny how it's never in games that you have to answer to United or Liverpool, I Wonder why

PGMOL is Bent to the core and we know who controls them

This is the 3rd time Webb has had to Apologise to Brighton this season.

This should be hilarious this morning.
It wouldn't surprise me if Dermot Gallagher ducks this morning or sky sports news "forget" to do it today.

I think they’re going to have to ban the linesman.

For this to happen the week Mitrovic gets banned and for nothing to happen to the official would really, really piss off the players. PFA is a shit Union but even they would manage something.

He literally elbows him, and it’s pretty much unprovoked.

Robertson put his hands on him and tried to pull him back, the linesman shrugged him off in annoyance and caught him on the chin (although Robertson is now claiming he got hit in the throat, make of that what you will). I think Robertson got a yellow and they'll leave it at that unless he or Liverpool start chatting shite, in which case they may upgrade it :)

Just watched the highlights. Anyone who thinks our game is not bent need to watch this match and explain how they came to these decisions. This game is exactly why we needed var in the first place. I'm sorry we made 4 or 5 mistakes all against the same team just does not wash with me. Bent as fuck. Sorry for any Brighton fans on here, but come your semi final, unfortunately i think you can expect the same again, maybe even worse.

This is my worry for the semi final.


Another thing i dont want is for a ref to try and even it up by giving us a dodgy decision at the Expense of another team, just scrap VAR.

Games like Spurs vs you guys makes you think why bother going. Such awful decisions.

There‘s nothing wrong with var, just the clowns that use it

It’s not just var though, clowns like atwell will still get it (deliberately?) wrong in real time

Shoulder?

HANDLING THE BALL

"For the purposes of determining handball offences, the upper boundary of the arm is in line with the bottom of the armpit."

(Or top of the armpit if you're doing a bicycle kick? It's a nonsense definition - how far down is "the bottom of the armpit" compared to just "the armpit"?)

Anyway...

Aleksander Ceferin: We must change incomprehensible handball law

Uefa is to set up a special group in a bid to end the confusing rules around handball, its president Aleksander Ceferin has revealed.Ceferin, due to be re-elect

Bottom of the armpit or what's is commonly called the shoulder.

This shows you why the Brighton goal was correctly ruled out

Mitoma goal ball hits his shoulder, tbats because of the push in his back, if u dissallow the goal for a handball then it should have been a penalty.

My own opinion on the Mitoma incident was that it was handball. What I don’t agree with is the linesman getting involved from 30 yards away to disallow it. Under the way the current system is applied, the goal should have been given, gone to var, and stood on the grounds of it not being a clear and obvious error. That’s where we are with the bastardised version of var that’s been foisted and on us and seeks to protect officials before the integrity of the game. Amazing the officials and var couldn’t get involved in or see the penalty incidents. Attests to their incompetence and pgmol’s self-interest.
