Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

[TheBigIguana]

It’s VAR that’s the poison for officiating now. I think refs now instantly want VAR to get involved after any goal/incident as they’re so scared they’re going to get something wrong.

You're right but there were problems before VAR too and I think they're amplified by it's presence.

Think that VAR decision for correct against Gana there. Sure Marcelo went down easy but regardless you can’t push people.

If that easy or a touch was always a foul, it would be a no contact sport. Happens on like every long ball every game.

 

[Billysgingham.]

That Jose fella is a joke.

 

[Old Blue 2]

Nah. Ref has realised he's made a right pigs ear of the big decision and the push he initially let fly - rightly as football is a contact sport - gave him a way out.

1. It's a penalty
2. It's not a red card if last man in the penalty area

There is a difference between football being a contact sport, and a foul. It was a clear push in the back by Gana, ergo a foul. Everything after that doesn't count, as the ball is dead. The right decision was arrived at in the end, which is how VAR is supposed to work, wirh the ref consulting the pitch-side monitor. End of...

So? Two hands into a players back when a ball is coming down from the sky is a push and illegal in the laws of the game.

4 goals in 14 minutes, just Bobby L things.

• Lewandowski (53'minutes pen, 60'minutes, 64'minutes, 67'minutes)

One of the best complete strikers ever.

Imagine if he had pace, would be literally unstoppable.

Eriksen there throwing his old manager under the bus

One of the best complete strikers ever.

Imagine if he had pace, would be literally unstoppable.

He already is unstoppable.

 

[Tubey]

He already is unstoppable.

Indeed.

He's one of the many reasons I cringe when people use the term "world class" to describe certain other players.

Lewandowski is what world class looks like.

4 pointless goals I believe as it was 0-1 already

4 pointless goals I believe as it was 0-1 already

Why does that matter

Exactly

He isn’t slow like.

Heartbreaking seeing Spurs under Mourinho.
