Today’s Football - 2024/25 Season


We'll have to agree to disagree. I'm sick of players doing this. It's like Gordon cheating for those 2 penalties earlier in the season, where the defender is about to clear it and he put his leg in front of the leg of the defender so he kicked Gordon instead of the ball. That's a foul by Gordon because he's obstructed the defender and made no attempt to play the ball, but they gave him 2 penalties.

At first I didn't think it was a pen either.

Then I figured stupid challenge.

My main point though is VAR getting involved.

Let refs, ref unless it's "clear and obvious" - for me, that would be if there was no contact.

I replied to the BBC tweet with a poll;

I thought it would be closer to 50/50.

The ref should never have given it because it was obvious in real time what happened. I wouldn't have been surprised if they hadn't overturned it but I was glad they did.
