Forest can count themselves lucky the promoted sides are truly dismal

I know football's irrational but my word I hate Man Utd. I don't care if Man City are owned by murderous tyrants, I wouldn't care if they were a team of Marlon kings, I'd still hope they stuff Man Utd.

And on that note I don't get the determination for Everton to go down around these parts. They're a grand old club with a rich history, still (just about) play in a traditional ground... and they're not Liverpool.

This var they are checking for a penalty happens every week in every game.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Soft penalty but as soon as he had a look you knew he was going to give it

 

[Tommo1993]

Feels a bit daft to me. The situation has been and gone and the game has carried on.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Mind you, VAR makes for a shit game doesn't it. Don't care how blatant a penalty that is or isn't, the moment's long gone!

 

[Paul Anthony]

Took it well though, wasn't having any of Onana's time wasting.

So any pull in the box is now a pen ?

Mcfadz gets rugby tackled most games.

Slow mo always makes it look worse than it actually is.

I've always been of the opinion that it's ridiculous defenders can get away with things like that so often, big problem of course is next game exactly the same will happen and absolutely nothing will be done about.

Exactly. They need to be consistent.

In the same replay, one of the man city players was holding a man utd player.

It should be to be fair. Problem is you know it won’t be consistently applied across all games.

 

[stupot07]

The decision was the right one, but shouldn't have taken 3 minutes to review. The issue is the law is so inconsistently upheld, happens on every single set piece in every single game. It if was given more consistently, players would soon stop doing it.

Another example of VAR ruining the game.

[Terry Gibson's perm]

According to FIFA the goalkeeper can only hold the ball for 6 seconds otherwise it is an indirect free kick, when is the last time anyone saw this enforced?

Not for ages probably when the rule first came out, as like with time lost they do it for a few weeks and then don’t bother.

 

[Nick]

Didn't even look a foul by foden

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Great save that, amazing reactions even if it was at him

 

[Paul Anthony]

Both keepers with great saves.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Neville can say it’s a soft penalty as much as he wants it was a penalty.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Holy shit, that save was even better

 

[Fysnkysc]

Good save but poor header, this is where we would be screaming for the striker to head it into the floor.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

I still can’t work out what style of football Ten Hag is trying to implement and he’s been backed well, compare that to the effect the Spurs manager has had

 

[Paul Anthony]

Can't believe they let Haaland have that much space.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Nailed it that time

 

[Tommo1993]

Imagine being dragged into the mixer to leave Haaland behind on his own in about 50 acres

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Bernardo Silva what a player!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Man Oil toying with Utd here

 

[Nuskyblue]

Bernardo Silva what a player!

That looked more of a foul on Haaland than the foul for the pen

If you truly want more consistency from refs, then what you’re really asking for is more video stoppages, that take longer to complete.

It still won’t work, of course, but the modern football fan’s obsession with achieving this mythical/unobtainable standard of perfect refereeing consistency means the alternative is what?

 

[SBT]

The Man City song for Haaland to the tune of Everywhere is easily the worst song in football at the moment, and that is a hotly contested field.

 

[SkyBlueSoul]

Rashford has to get that on target. Did really well until the finish.

That's not consistency from refs then if it's more video stoppages. When it comes to the pulling in the box the refs always see it, never give it.

Bad miss

The VAR is ostensibly there to ensure consistent application of the rules by correcting real time mistakes from the refs. Doesn’t always get it right of course, but if you give them more time and more chances to review decisions then they can correct more mistakes - that’s the argument now the VAR toys are out of the box at least.

You can’t insist on more consistency from refs and also tell them they have to make decisions faster and with less help.

Must have been about 30 plus passes without Man Utd touching it before Foden's goal.
