[Albion] Premier League 27-28/4/24

Very funny because it’s Chelsea but that is a LUDICROUS VAR decision! Absolutely nothing wrong with that challenge.

The game’s gone.

 

[Stat Brother]

Absolutely. Doesn't change the fact many people on here think he is shit.

and posters still would once he'd been coached into either only passing back to Dunk or running forward 30 yards with the ball before passing back to Dunk.

It's delicious because it was against Chelsea though, Poch very upset

What does the BBC mean 'Oh no'??

Chelsea coaches trying to drag the players away from the officials. The team that seems determined to give us lots to laugh about.

 

[METALMICKY]

Hilarious on Chelsea! The merest nudge barely effects the defender but you know VAR will get involved.

I believe that’s called sarcasm

 

[Farehamseagull]

The player many on here didn't want.
What a difference his energy and goals would have brought to our team this season.

Yeah that was a joke. The ridiculous CMS comparisons were pathetic just cos of his hair.

He’d be a stand out player for us. He’s way ahead of all of our centre midfielders.

Blatant push and foul. That Lucy commentator was incredibly bad and shreiky

That's absolutely not true. It's a hefty shove in the back that pushes him under the ball that he would have won. I saw it in real-time and it's a foul all day long.

Looked a clear foul that prevented the defender attacking the ball

Correct decision. Blatant and strong shove in the back. Defender would have cleared the ball.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Was a blatant foul, you can't just barge into a players back.

Sorry but if that was against us we'd be screaming it was soft

Yeah I’m with you. An intentional push in the back of the defender to move him out from under the ball as it comes down. It’s a foul. Poch on sky was just saying you see this action all the time and fouls aren’t usually given, which I think would be fair to say if it was a shoulder to shoulder thing, but this was a clear push in the back. Unlucky for Chelsea, but clear foul. The fact it leads to a goal means you can’t ignore it.

 

[Eric the meek]

It was a foul for two reasons - a) it was shove in the back and you can't do that and b) the clincher - it denied Chelsea the winning goal.

Soft, but still a foul. You cant just push someone in the back to stop them getting ball.

 

[Farehamseagull]

Correct decision. Blatant and strong shove in the back. Defender would have cleared the ball.

Nope. Not a foul.

And certainly not a situation VAR should have got involved in with their ‘high threshold’.

Joe Cole and Hoddle, both ex Chelsea accept it was a blatant foul.

That is what VAR is for. To intervene when a referee makes a clear and obvious error.
