[Albion] Premier League 27-28/4/24

Absolutely not. The ref saw it and didn’t give it. I don’t believe it’s a foul, lots of people agree with my view, some don’t, ultimately it’s subjective. This sort of thing was not what VAR was supposed to get involved with.

i agree, the Ref seem to have a clear view and didn’t give it. When he is called to the screen he can hardly deny it in slow-mo. Not what VAR should be doing. It’s being micro-managed to the nth degree to try to achieve the impossible i.e. perfection. Same as off-side, if the on=field officials don’t give it VAR should stay out of it.

There are lots of people who clearly the think the same as me and those who think the same as you. This goal is a perfect illustration of why VAR will NEVER work in football. It’s just too subjective.

Completely agree. MotD spot on too. It’s a subjective decision. As fans we have to accept that incident could be a foul for some refs, not for others and none of them would be right or wrong - straddles that area of football laws that can never be definitive.

How many players in that defender’s position wait and play for contact and con the ref into a foul - happens all the time and it is a con, most of the time it’s not a foul.

Those incidents we have to have more faith in the onfield decisions and not ruin games through re-reffing.

Arsenal went one up v Spurs via an own goal. Spurs equaliser currently being checked by VAR.

EDIT: Equaliser offside. Remains Spurs 0-1 Arsenal

 

[Acker79]

0-2 Arsenal.

Arsenal tearing Spurs a new one. 0-3

Arsenal tearing Spurs a new one. 0-3

It’s no surprise. An excellent manager with a brilliantly constructed team thrashing an absolute fraud.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Arsenal have barely had the ball, four shots on goal, two on target and are three up... Spurs are almost as bad as us defensively. I don't like them, but they're a very good side. A lot more entertaining to watch than City as well.

 

[Motogull]

Benny putting the 'keeper off for the third to ensure they are getting battered at home.

 

[Acker79]

Raya gifted Spurs a goal - tried to chip the ball over the spurs player to an arsenal teammate and underhits it, given spurs a clear run at his goal. 1-3.

 

[WhingForPresident]

Surely a Spurs pen incoming from VAR. Comeback on?

 

[Acker79]

Penalty scored. 2-3

 

[Acker79]

Full-time, Arsenal hold on for the win 2-3

 

[BBassic]

Forest have caused City at least one problem in the first 15. More than we managed

 

[Publius Ovidius]

City now playing like they did against us. Forest can’t get the ball the last 10 minutes
