That is the worst half of football I’ve ever seen officiated and there’s been some candidates (eg Foy at Stoke)

The most fucking ludicrous half of Football I have ever seen in nearly 50 years of watching the game.

Fucking disgusting.

The encroachment happened first, the illegal feinting wasn't illegal as it is allowed during the run-up, but aside from all that, then yeah they get a free kick.

No because an encroachment from the defending team doesn't matter if the ball goes in, as your chart states, its just a goal, however in this case there's a reason why that "goal" is not valid, the run-up

And as Graham Poll, a qualified ref, on bt said sons feinting was illegal maybe we should go with him? Especially considering I doubt any of us are ex-pro refs

Llorente is a waste of space as is Sissoko plus Winks has been poor. Hard though in the centre as the way Rochdale play mostly bypasses midfield

We need to stop feeling sorry for ourself over VAR, yes it has fucked us this game but these are professional premier league footballers wanting to be paid 100k per week (some of them) if we cant beat a L2 side who are fighting relegation then I'm sorry it is embarrassing

We started well and our heads have gone due to the decisions but we need to rise above it and get back on the front foot and beat these bastards....

This is not going to be easy though, but when do we ever make things easy.

Also, that pitch worries me, I am going on Sat but reckon the game will be off with the snow expected and the pitch in the national stadium is already looking white and bogged down

Imagine blaming the referee and VAR.

Our performance has been a disgrace! We're going life and death with Rochdale.

Some of our fans are really blinkered.
What are you on about. We’ve stood around for at least ten minutes whilst he’s peed his pants unable to make a fucking decision. And then made two wrong decisions. We would be at least 2-0 ahead before they even equalised normally. At least 2-0. And don’t get me started on the amount of players that stop their run up. And get away with it. hazzard Willian Ronaldo. Ronaldinho. The list is endless. Fucking disgraceful refereeing. VAR. shit.

Winks complaining to the officials as they come off the pitch was by far his biggest contribution thus far.:banghead:

I almost turned the game off when we were still in the lead. VAR makes football completely unwatchable, doesn't matter if the decision is right or wrong. Even though every other review wrong doesn't help the matter.

Was the Son decision correct? Surely if you stop the run up, that means the ball is not in play, so it should be retaken, no?

You’re an idiot. If the game had been officiated competently, we would be over the hill and far way. The fact remains the same whether it was us, Chelsea, City or Arsenal playing... if it was Liverpool, I’d agree with you
