Wilson goal (10 Viewers)

[curly_tom]

Every game has moments where the ref gets it wrong, it's part of the game. We should have had a penalty against Watford but didn't and Blackpool against us. That's why they brought VAR in but there's still loads of controversy. I prefer the game without VAR, I like the mess and the mistakes by refs. There could have been sendings off in this match and other fouls or penalties. The ref could never see the handball and even if there was VAR I'm not sure it would be conclusive enough to disallow the goal. For me it makes it all the sweeter after Blackburn rolling around on the floor and kicking the ball away, their fans holding on to the ball etc.

But this is the point surely? Football supporters are totally biased and can’t assess a referees performance

The stoke offside goal is an example of the officials being labelled corrupt and cheating when it actually proved to be a correct decision - which at the time I couldn’t believe was

Of course, it’s easy to fall into a biased mindset, and in truth, Fadz and Travis should have seen red, respectively. In an objective, unbiased perspective.

Although Travis infuriated me with his gamesmanship and aggression, I did think to myself after the game, that we could do with a player like that at times.

The Sky referee review said there was no evidence to disallow the goal and they would have gone with the on field decision

If we must have VAR then it should have a margin of error built in, like cricket does, to support the on-field decision - unless it's obviously wrong. I like the umpire's call bit. Getting the Atomic Force Microscope out to measure offside is just a nonsense. I'm not sure how you would do that with VAR I've never thought about it really but it's important to keep the game flowing, American Football was ruined for a time by ridiculous over-use of the replays (just because they could) until they found a happier medium. A one hour game still takes over three hours to complete!

On their forum there’s a behind goal still by still. It’s obvious it did.

I don’t see why people try and deny it.

Their fans seem more annoyed that Mcfazdean wasn’t sent off. For what I have no idea

That was the angle that convinced me it wasn’t handball. After all the Blackburn antics I would feel better if it was.
Fadz was a lucky boy to stay on.

maybe, but not half as lucky as Travis for them
on a yellow, he makes a straight red challenge

 

[PVA]

Fadz was trying to hook his leg round to get the ball. It absolutely was not an intentional rake of the studs down his leg.

So if the Sky referee is undecided with all the camera angles then no wonder the referee didn't see it.

 

[Sick Boy]

It’s almost like there isn’t some kind of referee conspiracy against us.

What was Carroll shaking his head about

 

[Johhny Blue]

Fadz was trying to hook his leg round to get the ball. It absolutely was not an intentional rake of the studs down his leg.

Are you his Mum?

 

[PVA]

Are you his Mum?

Not the last time I checked, no.

But it's not very clear in that gif. The multiple angles showed he was trying to get to the ball. It was clumsy, but not intentional.

 

[rexo87]

Oh - well there you go

Its not a red. The guy was in the way of the ball after the whistle had gone and Fadz tried to get it. Yes it's a bit of a sore one but no chance a red

Funny that

 

[mark82]

Did he? I didn’t see it.

Yeah, don't think it was intentional though. In fairness, we'd probably be calling it out the other way.

I'm one of the worst offenders for this, so can ignore my opinions on referee decisions. Will still continue to give them though.

From one angle I thought it was handball. From another I was convinced it wasn't. What chance would the referee have to get it right one way or the other.

In future they could poll the crowd

Instead of “Text a sub”, go for “Text a decision”?

Cost only £2.50 plus standard network charges.

Tottenham jammed that particular line

Or at MK dons

 

[JimmyHillsbeard]

Did he? I didn’t see it.

He definitely did - after we had already been given the free kick. He was v lucky to not get sent off (and he’s also q lucky the EFL haven’t reopened it as the ref took no action at the time)

Isn't that Barca's business model? Though I think you missed the 'm' off.

Noticed one of the commentators for the Preston Blackburn game said it should have been disallowed for hand ball. Seemed an odd thing to say when there doesn’t seem to be any footage showing that.

Also, the poetry of Hyam scoring the own goal was sublime. Football writes some amazing stories sometimes.

And of Szmodics cheating with his hand then trying to bullshit the ref into allowing the goal
