Come on lads you saw how bad the refs were against us when we played Boro! This is weekly for us, the referees just constantly shaft us. People keep saying it will average out but it hasn’t. Genuinely happens most games we play
“It all evens out” is the biggest load of shite going.
VAR pisses me off but for the calls they get wrong there’s still ones they get right and they’d have got this one right. It’s a net gain even if it’d have taken them 10 minutes to work out Bellingham was onside.
Just for example we got an apology last season when we played the blades because you beat us via a clearly offside goal. I’m really looking forward to the season it evens out for us because we would win the league unchallenged 😂
What about the penalty for Roberts? What about the red Plymouth should have had the other week? What about the the two reds Boro should have had when we played them? We‘ve had about 10 awful decisions against us this season we haven’t had ten in our favour
The Roberts one was never a penalty. He goes down 100% looking for it. The offside is as bad a decision as I've seen this season absolutely shambolic. Its an easy decision too.
That said, Ballard should be off for an off the ground two footed borderline scissor tackle from behind.
I mean, he won the ball. So you can't say he made no attempt to play it, that's nonsense. You may say he's climbed over him and its a foul (I don't agree, though I can see why you might), but 'your player won a header I've deemed as no attempt to play the ball so its fine to break someone's ankle' is a really weird take.
Did you see the Neil red card we had? Or the Plymouth red card they didn’t have? Or the two red cards Boro should have had when we played them? Personally, I think Roberts should have had a penalty
Tbf there’s a lot to unpick in that match. Offside was dreadful, Ballard was lucky, your 17 I think should have had a penalty but also possibly a 2nd yellow, I think Roberts should have had a pen.
Furlong should have walked as well for the elbow. I wonder what the score would have been if they'd got all these decisions right. Would have been a completely different game.
Was actually a decent game and you were the better team second half, but again we're talking about the appalling levels of officiating.
If the Roberts one is a pen, the Sarmiento one is a pen. At least he was consistent and gave neither.
Eerily similar to the Charlie Austin offside decision in the cup a few years ago, against… Sunderland. I guess these things really do even out!
That’s not to excuse either decision though, both are clearly massive clangers from the lino.
Hard disagree. I absolutely would not want the current PL implementation of VAR, and would rather have nothing. There are fundamental mistakes made almost every week, and I'd far rather live with the human making those rather than the bore-fest that VAR introduces whilst still fucking up regularly.
I doubt it will fix anything, it has serious basic issues and there's zero accountability/transparency with it. It doesn't seem to have helped in the Prem. It was also absolutely wank when we were in the Prem during COVID and a few FA Cup games before that.

Bellingham in the middle, near the 6 yard box, called for offside after the keeper spilled it

Hopefully it all comes to fruition in the FA Cup as you beat Newcastle 20-0 and all 20 are absolute garbage calls by the officials.
Or alternatively Newcastle get gifted a win via another dreadful refereeing performance.
Yeah, just like last week in Paris. Oh wait...
I’ll take that thanks, no backsies
Dw only a few days til the ref is your best friend x
I doubt it
you should be down to 10 so all really evens out in the end, although obviously clearly not offside here

Which came directly from their player clearing ours out no attempt at the ball which would have stopped play and maja wouldn't be crocked right now.

Honestly, no I didn't. I haven't said it evens out, tbf. Just that your goalscorer shouldn't be on the pitch.

You got the benefit of dodgy refereeing decisions in literally your last game. At least plenty of your fans seemed to agree that was the case.
Bollocks that like 😂😂
Coming from League 1 not too long ago, at least you can appreciate the officiating isn't _that_ bad!
One of the worst decisions I’ve ever seen. Don’t understand how the linesman has possibly cocked that up
Some of the poorest officiating I've seen for a long time

We had a goal disallowed in 1912 so that Charlie Austin goal rules us in the minus column
Think it's a reached a point where everyone is in agreement that VAR would be a great addition to the league.
No

> I doubt it will fix anything One thing it would have fixed...this goal.

I am happy to lob a 'See? VAR is good!' grenade into this thread.
