Other EPL games WK3 30/08-31/08



8 minutes added time in the first half. That hangs so terribly and awfully over this game because of the error.

And it is THAT which pushes the system towards improvement.

That's the thing with VAR. If you make a wrong decision then it is MUCH WORSE because it was REVIEWED. Before people didn't see/know. Or at least there was always that excuse. So people could take it as accidental. And no play was stopped and then even REVERSED back in time. Most terrible.

But now everyone knows that was an error. That's what pushes things towards improvement.
 
MOST UNFORTUNATE. TERRIBLE GAME.

Because of the disallowed Fulham goal that wasn't supposed to be disallowed there was first-half extra time. And then in the extra time of the first-half extra time Chelsea scores a goal.

TERRIBLE.
 
What the ref added one more minute to only he will know
They keep letting corners take place in extra time. They wait for something approaching a clearance. Then blow a whistle. That's what things are like in football. That's an old practice. Not a rule, but kinda everyone does it. If corner, they let it take place.
 
It was a "referees call" for me.

Was it a foul? Yes.
Was it enough for VAR to claim clear and obvious? No.

It wasn't a foul though. He'd won the ball. The turn would've blocked the challenging player wherever his foot landed. It made no difference to the play.
 
He misses the ball with his second touch though, so you could argue that it’s wreckless. But when the ref doesn’t give a free kick then VAR shouldn’t get involved at all. Awful by VAR. PGMOL have had a mare so far this season. Regressing further under the guidance of the old Utd striker Webb.
 
That ref should be suspended immediately.
Free kick to Andersen and then Joao Pedro handles the ball as well.
Insane that they end up with a penalty in the end.
 
Fulham had a great start to the game and overall a good first half. Should've been up 1:0 at the end of it. In the second half and after substitutions it seems like their game/system has disintegrated. They're all arguing with each other.
