Today’s Football - 2024/25 Season

[Eidean]

Justice for United that, absolutely awful decision to award that.

 

[Lee Smith]

Wow saved

 

[Nymzee]

Shouldn't need VAR for that one. Obvious straight away it wasn't a pen

No, as in refs don't have VAR crutch, so their horrible standard is exposed when they have to make final decisions.

 

[Sharpies volley]

We would never get that pen.

 

[Bwana]

Justice.

 

[NathDogg]

Great peno save that.

Refs lost the game here - I can remember why we all clamoured for VAR, shame they’ve botched the entire thing since it came in.

 

[TyphooToffee]

Right result as it was never a penalty

 

[longers]

Im still pro VAR because of stuff like that.

You're probably right.

They still get it wrong far too often with VAR anyway

 

[Wat Tyler]

We would never get that pen.

I can’t remember our last pen

 

[Big Sams Undies]

Havertz is one little bell piece

 

[BlueStevie35]

I can’t remember our last pen

Thursday night

 

[NathDogg]

Im still pro VAR because of stuff like that.

100% - the just need to fix its implementation.

It’s horrendously bad currently, allows too much of the inherent bias to make the calls.

 

[heatmeiser]

Will it be a white card when someone inevitably gets sent off?

I guess not

 

[Amw79]

Stuff like this is why we have VAR like

Just saying

Think the problem is, it’s just as likely that in a PL game, that foul wasn’t given by the ref, then VAR looked at it and said penalty anyway.
