What is this headline from the BBC? It just seems like it's trying to gin up VAR controversy even though the VAR had nothing to do (or could do) about the send off.

Premier League: Nuno Espirito Santo and Sean Dyche rue VAR decisions in Forest and Everton defeats​

Last updated on9 minutes ago9 minutes ago.From the sectionPremier League

New manager Nuno Espirito Santo has said Nottingham Forest "deserve more respect" after Willy Boly was shown a controversial red card on Saturday.
Boly was sent off after just 23 minutes of Forest's 3-2 defeat by Bournemouth.

Despite winning the ball, referee Rob Jones showed the Ivory Coast defender a second yellow card for his tackle on Adam Smith.
"I have seen it over and over again and I still cannot understand it," Nuno said.
"It's a mistake. I think he should have taken more time for VAR [the video assistant referee] to advise him. We and our fans deserve more respect - it's not fair."

Having see it, I also don't know how he got sent off! Got the ball and it was the other players foot that went into him!

Nuno and BBC both forgetting thar VAR can't intervene for second yellows. It's a bad decision but blaming VAR for something they know it can't do anything about is just piss poor.

Dominic Solanke was good for Bournemouth last season but adding goals to his game makes him a very decent striker.

Dunno if it was confidence and/or pressure but he looked poor at Chelsea and Liverpool (albeit at a very young age) prior to playing in the Championship.

Impressive improvement.

Imagine being told 20 years ago that Man United would end up eventually being legitimately worse (and regularly in our case) than Tottenham, West Ham and Aston Villa. Love every minute of it.

Rarely get like this but my head has gone at that Odegaard penalty non-call. The man scoops the ball!

We should have signed Kudus, would have cooked under Ange. Could have played RW and AM. Would have been better than Johnson IMO.

Pretty sure another club that were interested didn't go for him because he was insisting on a CL release clause or something of that nature. Only a vague memory though.

I don't even know what to think about this one. I spend a lot of time watching and learning about current interpretations. I don't know how the application of handball shifted to a point where a player reaching down and slapping the ball (even if slipping) isn't an offense but a defender jumping and having the ball headed onto their arm from a striker is.

Remember that, maybe we can pick him up at a steal in the summer.

The guardian have done their annual ‘how do the fans feel about their club’ articles’ - links below.

The comedy is no less than 16 think their club will finish higher than they currently are - the only exceptions are Arsenal (because they can’t, still predict the title), Villa (4th), West Ham (8th), and us who are tipped for a European place rather than an exact position.

Most delusional fans are probably Man U (4th 🤣) and Chelsea (6th), but the bad news is if everyone else is right there are 3 teams who should be champions and 11 more in the top half so might be tricky for us to get a good finish 😀

Jackson's a clown. The commentators need to stop talking about the number of goals he's scored as some sort of measure of his ability - take the 3 easy ones he scored against us out and he looks even more useless.

I would absolutely murder Sterling if I was one of his teammates there. Unbelievably selfish. Is anyone even surprised though, he’s always been a selfish little ****
