You seriously want to start this again ? Until the rules are changed this will continue to happen week in week out. Don't be shit-stirring cunt when we're losing.The standard of refereeing is great, isn't it? Oh wait...
At least VAR is there to sort it out...
After an absolutely horrendous week last week of balls ups, seems this week is starting in the same vein.

... and then VAR would have ruled it out.But the assistant isn't supposed to raise the flag when it is that close. And if they hadn't, it would have been a goal... such a weird system.
And that is still true, but with VAR the doubt is removed.VAR would have called the goal back though, the picture above confirms that.
I've heard it says that offside is offside, you are either on or you are not, but I have also heard things like the attacker is supposed to get the benefit of the doubt.
I suppose by the exact letter of the law, Bobby is offisdes, but by the spirit of the law, a fucking arm? Does that really make any kind of difference?
Who cares though, we won.
Refereeing is poor but I’m glad we have Var. It gets more right than wrong compared to the refs.
VAR, if used correctly, would be great. But we have retards using it.
Did you not see the stats on when Atkinson referees City or Liverpool games? Our win percentages drop from the 80%s to the 40%s. How do you explain that otherwise? It can't actually be random... the sample size isn't tiny.Refereeing is poor but I’m glad we have Var. It gets more right than wrong compared to the refs.
Off topic slightly but it pisses me off when deluded fans claim refs are biased. Shit no doubt, but not biased. It’s utterly childish.

They're still getting an absolute bucket load wrong though. Last weekend, virtually every game had some sort of mongy, contentious VAR decision.
I don't think its that... he basically broke up our play for Utd this past game, let them waste time the whole game and didn't call fouls for them for similar infringements we were getting called for...Is it possible he referees the more high-profile, tougher games? God knows how he gets them, like, but maybe that partly accounts for it?
Initially, I'm like yeah, he fucking hates us and he's a cheat. But after I think about it and calm down, I come to the conclusion that he's probably just really, really, REALLY shit.
