Ref Watch

[cheekybids]

Laporte held the attacker & its deemed a red if no covering player, if not the last man it’s a yellow. That’s how we are reffed different we play teams with 10 players behind the ball so they do this constantly & yet yellows aren’t given. They can foul with impunity & yet we are harshly judged for playing attacking football. Not only are they very rarely given yellows but now the refs are saying play on when committed against us.
Basically the decision is made not on the type of infringement but the amount of space around the players.

The palace player who received treatment with the game stopped for 1:30 So effectively allowed 30secs
Time keeping needs taking out of the hands of the refs ball out not in play clock stopped Most matches ball is in play for 30 mins

& we Fcking gave them the ball back, they came & cheated at every opportunity & we duly oblige.

So the VAR at the Leicester game see nothing wrong with Oliver's decision not to send Evans off for the identical foul that the Mason on VAR duty for us decided to back the referee 100% and send Laporte off.
Zaha is a cheat he initiated the contact and both were grappling each other but Zaha screams with his arms outstretched , at least we know it evens itself up over a season ........................

VAR almost always backs up the decisions made by the on field ref, the real issue is that the default setting for most refs when making decisions that look "debatable" in our games almost always end with a negative conclusion for us...

...NOT A PENALTY FOR US
...DEFINITE PENALTY AGAINST US
...OFFSIDE AGAINST US
...RED CARD FOR US
...etc...etc...etc
(all decided really quickly and delivered with a flourish)

which VAR then agrees with.

Clear as day.

I was thinking about this and comparing what Eric did with JFE at the Arsenal game.

No doubt we are reffed differently.

Mariner is the type of ref that makes football not enjoyable, time wasting is the scourge of the game. He seems to take great delight in getting fans wound up and time wasting is what winds most fans up.

I said the same. There’s a hell of a lot of people who have turned away from football, and a hell of a lot of young people who don’t like it from a young age, because of two main areas…

Football is proper fucking boring half the time. The ball is in play for an average of just 56 minutes a game. That’s over 1/3 of the entire game, over half a fucking hour, where there are thousands of spectators in stadiums watching 23 blokes stand still on some grass.

And this is every single game in the sport. IT’S FUCKING BORING!

The other area is the diving and feigning injury.

The only issue yesterday was time wasting, I have no issue with Palace doing it, it';s up to the Ref to cut it out at the first opportunity.

Their keeper should have had a warning , followed by an early yellow card.

Apart from that, Laporte was a red card in the letter of the law and Foden was offside.

I think he allowed them to foul at will without risk of a booking, gave us advantage when there wasn’t one.

Repeating old arguments about the used of clinical examination of offside decisions but, for me Phil wasn’t offside as the Lino couldn’t see it with the naked eye so, the dubious technology was used to gain an advantage for the defender
Dubious because of the frame rate and the point of which frame to use to determine when the ball was kicked is chosen
I dont even think Laporte fouled the cheating whinging arsehole that is Zaha
Riley said that VAR was going to be used different for offside this season, not from what I’ve see it isn’t
If the letter of the law is applied to those to incidents then why did the fishy mariner not apply it to the time wasting, as you rightly point out

Not for me, it was very close but sadly he was off.
