[Fabio]

Hope not. I'm on a delay

 

[Markeh]

Hope not. I'm on a delay

haha how the turntables

i don’t think that’s a foul, total accident

 

[Fabio]

It's unlucky. But he was in control of the ball

 

[Fabio]

Yeah that's a lot of shite.

 

[Fabio]

It's never a careless challenge like. He had his foot on the ball, and turned to shield it

 

[Full Stop]

That's not a foul.

 

[the count]

Yeah that's a lot of shite.

second week in a row that VAR have bailed Chelsea out

 

[Hansern]

Second controversial VAR decision in favour og Chelsea at home

 

[Markeh]

these are the moments that kill var, young lad scoring a great goal and they decide to roll it back over that. yet they miss all sorts of blatant nonsense weekly.

 

[Shadey]

VAR is shit pass it on..

 

[Full Stop]

That can't be a foul because the offensive player A: Got to the ball first and then B: Stepped on the defender because defender placed his foot underneath the offensive player. That cannot be a foul !!!! A terrible decision.

 

[Hansern]

Awful decision

 

[peterhague]

That's an absolutely fucking insane decision. Disgraceful. Get rid of VAR now. Fine for offsides, but the officials are just totally incapable of applying any common sense.

Shite.

 

[Full Stop]

VAR is shit pass it on..

I disagree. Now everyone can know who made the error. The ref has seen it. He has seen the incident. And he has made his decision upon having seen the incident. So that now it can be deduced that he has made an error. That's what makes VAR good. Absent VAR it wouldn't be clear if the Ref has seen it or not.

This was A HUGE decision decided in favour of a big football club from LONDON. And it was a clear error. It was a HUGE decision. Fulham up with a great goal.

 

[binomial]

Fulham fucked over yet again.

Fulham fucked over yet again by a so called top 6 club.

All these refs are weak minded cunts that have no understanding of the game.

 

[Full Stop]

In basketball that happens a whole lot. And it is a foul on the part of the defender because of where he placed his foot. In basketball, defenders do it purposefully to cause twisted ankles.

 

[walesnj]

I just think these referees need to grow a pair and overrule these idiots in VAR

 

[Hansern]

Its not VAR though, its the people using it. They’re clueless

 

[Full Stop]

A great start for Fulham.

Fine for offsides but rest is dross.

 

[Markeh]

imagine a referee from the future came back in his delorean to pre var times and showed us just a week of the premier league decisions. everyone would tell var to fuck off before it ever became a thing.

 

[Full Stop]

What happens is that VAR folks MANIPULATE the refs with the explanations they provide to them about what has happened. The VAR people might've said: "We have a case of foot being stepped on. So you should review it." That statement implies a foul because USUALLY in football when a foot is stepped on it is a foul. VAR works like that. Via manipulation. VAR folks sometimes cheat and sometimes are just BIASED. And sometimes are just stupid. They see a foot that is stepped on and they think it must be a foul. Lack grey areas. People in those positions lack expertise and that is so ON PURPOSE because then they can be manipulated. They just follow orders.

As that happened, it cannot be a foul.

 

[Full Stop]

And you can see that the ref is not smart too. It is HIS responsibility. He couldn't think it through.

 

[peterhague]

Its not VAR though, its the people using it. They’re clueless

Amounts to the same thing though. VAR was always going to have a major cost to the game but the idea was that better decisions would make up for it. We're 7 years in and it's never come close to doing so. Just get rid. They won't, but they should.

 

[binomial]

Chelsea look shit, again.

Book that fucking foul merchant fraud.

 

[Full Stop]

That was a fantastic goal scored by a young player. That goal should've been huge for his career/confidence.

Fulham tied first two games. Now they had a great start. And then that. Terrible.

 

[Woland]

That var decision was worse than the genocide in gaza.

 

[Woland]

Maybe that should be in the controversial takes thread instead
