That's really soft, Wilson made most of that

 

[Cool_Blue]

Looked like Wilson took another step to me then went down

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Lol Wolves fisted by VAR again. That was a soft as you like penalty.

 

[HowardsWay]

At least the PL docked our ten points straight up, they’re doing the same to wolves one decision at a time. The PL, corrupt AF chant might catch on.

I'm feeling the same. Carney absolutely dived in for that one... and then the headbutt that should see Fulham down to 10 if Kilman went down.

 

[Tony’s Carp]

Was a pen, again not sure why there was any doubt from com and co lol

Was probably always going to be given but only because we’ve reached the point any contact in the box is given, even if not deliberate or even initiated by the attacking player.

 

[Brett Angell Delight]

I’m baffled here, lads. He was tripped. Whether he went down easy, took another step or whatever, he was tripped. In the box.

 

[ToffeeTim]

The game is becoming unwatchable because of this. Surely we don't want these nothing incidents to result in penalties and decide matches.

When would anyone ever foul somebody in the box deliberately?

 

[Sharpies volley]

I'm fed up with soft penalties. Why are they constantly given these days?

They add absolutely nothing to the game and should never decide a match

If it's a foul it's a foul if its in the box it's a pen, soft or not.

The ref's decision was no penalty. I don't see a clear and obvious mistake there if they have to replay it so many times. If I was a Wolves fan, I'd definitely be feeling something was going on.

 

[ToffeeTim]

If it's a foul it's a foul if its in the box it's a pen, soft or not.

I don't want soft fouls to be given inside or outside the box. The bar at which a free kick is given is now absolutely any contact, no matter how minimal. Why are refs not letting the game flow? In what way is the game enhanced by this?

 

[Cool_Blue]

Has any ref ever been to the monitor and then said, no, I was right first time, my onfield decision stands?

Oliver did it once, but can't remember the incident

 

[Tony’s Carp]

When would anyone ever foul somebody in the box deliberately?

I’m more referring to situations where a defender is pulling out of a challenge entirely but the attacker tries to get the legs tangled anyway to buy the pen. In that situation it’s the attacker deliberately initiating contact but all too often it works. It gets called “clever” but really it should just be a foul against the attacker.

Var is killing football. All enjoyment is being sucked out of the game.
