Referees v Everton

[TheBigIguana]

And?

Football is not refereed by the book ever. It's all about precedents and vibes. To throw out "it's all the same everywhere" when i know you're smart enough to see that's not how it works in practice is pointless.

Fwiw none of the Oliver reds are remotely debatable decisions

Well todays clearly is

He turned down a stonewall pen a few seconds earlier

Rondon slipped in fairness too. But it turned out a very nasty tackle, so I dunno what the rule is on that

I meant the actual decisions. The actual foul by Branthwaite is a red.

And the rule is if you go off your feet with two feet and make studs contact you walk. Well that's not the rule that's the precedent they use mostly. I don't think he slipped.

Yes but the penalty ends that counter attack.

Richarlison should have dove. You don't get penalties standing up.

You're right but its a sad state of affairs. Referees need to have a look at that really.

What about the clowns sat doing VAR too?

Yet Thiago can fly in two-footed yesterday and not a jot said cos he won the ball and plays in red. I’m not defending Rondon, by the way. Crap tackle but clearly another example of how we are reffed differently to others.

Its a red card

 

[MrGrumpy]

Was Toney even onside?

Can’t even be sure because they showed one very quick replay in line and then nothing else. No freeze frames or lines.

I was thinking their goal by the way, which I could have sworn should have been a goal kick rather than a corner which led to the goal.

 

[Billefc]

Yep. You can pull the vaults up on VAR and see I've never changed my mind on it.

You can't let it dictate football games if on one hand you can draw lines and be mathematically precise on things like offsides, then be completely inconsistent on everything else due to human error and interpretation.

I'd much rather if be a ref making decisions and him be wrong about it as its his final decision..not a million replays and other officials miles away making them.

It really doesn't make any difference, if its the ref or var, it's an absolutely bent system, and it's so obvious, if God forbid any decisions in our favour, actually go to var, its called against us in literally seconds! Compare that to the media darlings who, they are waiting for the slightest opportunity to award them a pen, sending off or to disallow a goal for the opposition etc! Bent as f. K

Yes he was inside his own half when the ball was played.
