[Albion] What was the worst ref decision today?

[Blues Guitarist]

VAR had it both ways with the two disallowed goals; Incredibly frustrating. I can just about take the Mitoma one because the evidence to overturn the decision is not clear and obvious enough (although I don’t think Spurs would have complained much had it been given).

But the Alimac flick needed CLEAR & OBVIOUS evidence to scrub. There was none.

So, it should have been 2-2 plus 3 huge penalty shouts.

If we were winning 2-1 in the closing stages of the game, we would not have been chasing the game so we may have had more defenders around Kane making it less likely that he wouod score.

Think the Mitoma decision was correct (and even if not, wasn’t a clear and obvious error) - so yep, one goal incorrectly disallowed and 3 penalty shouts.

Mitoma decision was wrong - he was shoved in the back - penalty. Without the push he collects the ball on his chest and it doesn't touch his shoulder/arm pit.

Probably, the handball in isolation was correct but I guess the VAR good didn’t look at the shove

And I guess this is where it gets even more complicated. I assume VAR is not allowed to look at a supplementary incident on which the onfield officials have not noted or made a decision on? If they were surely they would have seen the the very clear shove that results in Mitoma having to control the ball in the manner he did. Without that shove the ball is ahead of him and greater opportunity control legitimately with obvious chest or his feet.

Probably - imagine this is exactly the kind of clarification the club have been seeking

The worst decision was the Alexis goal. It's the only one where the correct decision was given on the field and it was incorrectly overturned by Stockley Park. The ball did not hit MacAlister's arm, it hit his hip.

The other decisions were all incorrect to begin with. Lenglet handball missed (I can forgive Attwell, not VAR); Mitoma handball (Lino's fault VAR too spineless to overturn); Mitoma penalty Attwell got it completely wrong from a few yards away, ditto for the Dunk penalty.

Well - yes they are if it is a shove in the box - it's a penalty incident, so they are at liberty to review it.
