[Albion] VAR vs Us this season - a disgrace

[Reddleman]

I know there’s an argument that over a season things even themselves out but we have had FOUR absolutely appalling decisions go against us this season. Decisions that all former pros and ex refs have agreed were wrong. Even the PGMOL acknowledged one of them:

1. The penalty not given be Villa for the foul on Alexis Mac. Almost certainly cost us a point.
2. The foul on Welbeck v Leicester not given. Probably cost us two points.
3. The foul on Ferguson from Fabinho. Didn’t cost us as we scored a winner
4. The offside today. Absolutely ridiculous as we keep being told offsides are either on or not and today it proves it can be wrong. I think that cost us two points.

That’s a potential 5 points we have lost due to absolutely ridiculous VAR calls. I’m struggling to this of a single one this season where we got lucky and won points as a result. If anyone can think of one please comment as it would make me feel better.

We haven’t had a single contentious decision go for us and today’s was just corrupt

 

[Roy Race]

Agreed. There was also a blatant push on Wellbeck in the box vs Man Utd which should have been a penalty. I wonder what conversations go on behind the scenes between the club and the PGMOL? Does Barber demand an explanation from them or do they take the Potter stance that "it is what it is"?!

Then all of nsc seems to think that Bmuff were robbed of a winner last week.

Not forgetting the disgrace that was the FA cup game the other week

That was the Fabinho challenge I mentioned in the OP

All I see VAR as is another incompetent ref or whoever guessing at at the same decision the ref didn’t have the balls to make in the first place. Saying that the computerised offside worked well in the WC.

Don’t be ridiculous

I agree and that is unforgivable. These idiots have the opportunity to review exactly what has happened, I cannot believe they get it so wrong so often. Agree re the WC offsides, maybe removing any sort of human intervention is the answer.

Maybe, but that's an issue to be resolved by the Bournemouth equivalent of NSC.

Maybe, but that's for the Bournemouth equivalent of NSC to deal with. I don't care.

Rather than retrospective apologies some of these refs should be removed from the role, it’s not good enough

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

How about Silva for Man City? That was a disgrace

This is the point , there are potentianally club changing consequences being made by these incompetent clowns , and there is litterally no penalty to them if/when they screw it up . What incentive is there for them to get it right if there is no accountability .

VAR wrongly rules out Brighton goal in Palace draw

Brighton have a goal incorrectly ruled out for offside after a human error by the VAR operator in their draw at Crystal Palace.

2 points to us especially this year could define our season massively

Interesting, thanks.

John Brooks sitting there away from crowd interaction and player/manager pressure, just had to get one simple thing correct.

Bread n butter to a purported professional.

What an incompetent tw@t.

With zero implications for him going forward.

 

[Bodian]

I must say I thought Mac Allister could have been sent off today for that studs up challenge after only 5 minutes or so. So I guess that's one + for us?

 

[Reddleman]

I’ve said this before this season, namely after the non penalty v Villa but Paul Barber should insist on an explanation from PGMOL and a meeting to discuss etc.

The rationale being that we may just get a couple of 50/50 decisions go out way because if we make a fuss referees will become paranoid about awarding the wrong decision versus us after PGMOL have admitted to two errors in a month. It can’t do any harm.

If I was that shit at my job I’d have been sacked!

Nah, he didn't have studs up all the way and although they were bounced up when they hit the shin (having tried to clip the ball and missing it), his boot quickly came off the shin. It wasn't straight through the Palace player.
