Screwed to the tune of 100m.
Means they'll need to sell a couple of players.
Would rather that be Newcastle or Chelsea tbh
No ref fucked up. But because the whistle went (haven't seen it, but that's what I've read). It couldn't be over turned.
Ref more at fault than VAR in this instance.
You could argue he was trying to protect the goal keeper..but it's a piss weak argument.
i don’t think that argument can even be made, when you see it the ball has been taken away from the keeper before the whistle is blown.
insanity that he couldn’t wait a second but is he a ref recently promoted from a division without VAR or something? i can certainly understand a muscle memory type thing to blow the whistle instantly.
on the plus side, we won the league

And there's the official complaint, specifically targeted at the experience level of the official.
Yes.. but in itself is a piss weak argument.
The guy has 3 years of experience.
This year he had before today 11 PL games.
Yes it's not as many as Taylor or Oliver. But he wasn't just promoted and in his second game or something.
Straws.
Mad that nearly half the league will be in Europe next season.
Should mean fatigue isn’t as big an issue for us. Half the time after a CL we’ll be playing someone else who’s played in Europe.
6 in the CL is nuts when you think about it.

I don't understand why VAR can't intervene if the whistle has already gone. Well, I do, but not in this instance, where it clearly made no difference to the subsequent play. I don't know why they can never use a bit of common sense. It's like with the goal we had disallowed at Spurs. They all realised they'd made a colossal error but because the game had restarted about 3 seconds earlier then HEAVEN FORBID they should call it back to correct the mistake, oh no that would be CRAZY!
if you give them any rope they’re going to trip themselves up with it, can you imagine the mess they’d eventuate find themselves in if they could overrule the whistle too
I don't disagree, but that doesn't exactly let them off the hook. If we were dealing with intelligent and competent people then all you'd really need is an overriding principle that making the most just decision should take priority over ideal procedure.
haha yes ideally we want the right decision but i’m just laughing at the thought of how long it would take them to get there.
Oh yeah you can guarantee they'd still find some way to fuck it up.
Although I'm a tad disappointed that Forest and Villa didn't make it in place of Newcastle and Chelsea, as far as us repeating in the PL goes its a better result, as both of those are likely to be Top 4 contenders again next season so the more and tougher midweek matches they have the better.
