Ref Watch

[Blue back home]

Bent as fuck. Result was decided ages ago. #skypayroll

The ref was pretty good today for a change. Silva who i love and Pep were a bit cringe tbh.

I agree with Bernardo completely.

I thought Taylor had a very good game, and he created a very good game of football by the way he reffed it, but VAR has to interfere, and the whole point of football, goals, is spoiled by it.

But he had his moment to let the decision stand and bottled it.

Needless to say, it was a joke that our goal got ruled out. Worse challenges were let go all game.

4 players touched the ball after the 'foul', how far can you go back to rule a goal out, just a joke.

It’s City mate,so we have our goals scrutinised more than any other team looking for any reason possible to disallow them,as soon as we scored the wife and 2 sons were celebrating,I knew just knew it,they would review it and disallow it ..

 

[davek1808]

Fucking rat **** Neville already stating it was going to be ruled out makes you wonder.

Great performance from Alti fan. Him and Pawson will be ranked highly for sustaining the brand over the sport today.

Lump on Arsenal folks. This season has got Leicester vibes about it.

 

[mat]

Why?

Natural feeling when in Liverpool

 

[deano ou812]

And why was the game pulled back to send Klopp off when we were on the attack.. let the play conclude then go back and send Bingo off. Really pissed me that did

Cause he knew what he was doing brilliant game management from the ref ..

It’s a shame because the way he refereed that today was brilliant at time. Letting it go, it made for a really entertaining watch.

The thing that gets me is VAR. It ruins football. Football isn’t supposed to be perfect so why bring something in to do that? It’s a tackle Taylor let go the full 90 but because VAR looked at it, it’s one that’s scrutinised.

Was it clear and obvious? Was it fuck.

VAR is clearly and obviously killing the beautiful game. IMO.

 

[Mad Eyed Screamer]

I really hope that West Ham fan doesn't start with his bollocks tonight.

Ray Winstone? Alf Garnet?

Alti Fan and VAR at Klanfield...

There's history.

Nothing wrong with VAR. It's being manipulated to suit the result.

Ray Winstone? Alf Garnet?

Freddie Foreman.

Am I the only one who thinks the Thiago foul on Rodri was a straight red? Two footed, reckless, out of control, taking out his standing leg...

 

[danielwood5]

Yes. What aren’t you understanding?

I don't have a full understanding of the rules anymore so I was wondering, if two players are tussling for the ball, one player uses his arm and upper body strength to knock the other off balance resulting in the falling player holding the other players shirt for less than a second, what laws of the game have been breached? Who gets awarded the foul, the player that initiated the contact or the one falling over? What part of the VAR 'clear and obvious' guidelines would this decision affect? If a referee has let contact and physicality go all game where in the guidance does it say that if a goal is scored and there may have been physical contact in the build up that a referee should be instructed to view the 'incident' on the monitor with a view of disallowing a goal even though this decision is in stark contrast to the decisions he has made all game?

 

[Don Karleone]

Ray Winstone? Alf Garnet?

Actual footage of @BlueHammer85 when someone criticises VAR.

Both are West Ham fans as well funnily enough.

They said the same on 5Live.

Like the one at ours last season. Brushed under the carpet.

 

[Sheik Battle and Goal]

I agree with Bernardo completely.

I thought Taylor had a very good game, and he created a very good game of football by the way he reffed it, but VAR has to interfere, and the whole point of football, goals, is spoiled by it.

Taylor’s view was that it wasn’t a foul and that’s why he let it go along with the other body to body challenges from both teams.

I just wish VAR would fuck off. You get some and you don’t get some without VAR and fans and players would accept it.

 

[BringBackSwales]

They invariably do

But they don’t have to

 

[JRockBlues]

Can somebody please tell me what constitutes a foul nowadays as after watching our game today I have no fucking idea. And no, I'm not Alty Taylor before anyone tries to get smart.
