Today’s Football 2020/21 Season

I still don't understand why they don't put the flag up immediately. If the linesman had flagged when the ball got to Salah then Patricio doesn't get kneed in the head

Looks like Patricio maybe been knocked out by a knee of Coady

yep he was,just watched it back

 

[Toast]

How can injury time start when he’s still down injured ?????

what is that even suppose to achieve? It's just annoying. The amount of times I've gotten excited when we get into good position only for it to be flagged up 15 seconds later is nonsense.

should be at least 7mins from whenever they start

Ow.

 

[RomanReigns]

under the old rules, the flag would have been up and the incident would not have happened

Should be interesting.........

I switched to NBC, because Tyler was doing my head in, is he hoping the injury to Patrico hasn't upset Salah too much?

Yes this is one of the big disadvantages of VAR. There was no need for that to happen

We've been saying for ages that someone is going to get injured because of it and here we have it.

 

[BlueStevie35]

Only ourselves to blame

Hindsight, the positive to take is we’re still in with a shot, them, Spurs and West Ham are all going to drop points as well, we just have to do enough to stay up there

I've been saying for a while it will lead to a serious injury sooner or later. It's a terrible, terrible rule that makes no sense whatsoever.

You can see the scar there on Jimenez head

I've never heard an explanation for why they switched to this system, does anyone know the thinking behind it?
