Referees and VAR and whatnot
Posted by Hatsworth on 10/12/2023, 20:37:00
I was very frustrated with the ref today, it felt to me like the rules were not being applied equally. The example time and time again was when trying to knick the ball from behind the player when it was being shielded - this seemed to be a foul every time we did it and ok every time one of their famous superstars did it.
But the main difference is the play acting annd squealing and appealing for everything. And the histrionics of the top players and the managers. All the established teams do it. It’s very frustrating. The ref should be competent and confident enough to give free kicks without the player going down if he’s fouled, and not give free kicks when top players ask for it. But they’re not.
There was an example in the second half when Adebayo went into the box and was bundled off the ball. He stayed on his feet. If that was the other way around then Alvarez or grealish or whatever would have gone down, a penalty given and VAR would have seen contact and upheld it.
I’m not sure I want my team to cheat like that, but it’s galling the refs can’t or won’t see through it and have some balls.
It’s not corrupt or anything silly like that, but it’s the small gains that they manipulate so effectively.
Notice how much more lenient referees are with their favourite clubs compared to #teamslikeluton when it comes to physicality - they're allowed it, we're not.
Totally agree. My brother-in-law is a Forest fan and pre-warned me about this when Luton got promoted! Man City and in particular Foden was actually the example he used. I thought Foden was a disgrace today with all his antics.
He also said we’d get hammered by the media and loads of people online, so he wasn’t wrong!
What game weee u watchung mr specsavers how the fuck did the ref not send that guy off for the twoofoored challenge Your just whinging cunts who no nothing about football
If you actually watched the VAR replays of that “twofoored challenge” you can clearly see that he didn’t actually touch the petal that is Foden at all.
Actually think Foden kicks Brown... Brown puts his foot over the ball to protect it and Fodens swinging leg makes contact.... it's why the dear little petal walked away, if his leg had been planted it would have been a serious injury but it wasnt it was swinging into Brown
Decent post and spot on. I noticed Walker coming out of the tunnel with the ref for the second half in his ear non stop for a good minute or so, things like that will obviously affect things.
He was getting throw in lessons from the referee. The fact is they still got away with one in the first half and Arsenal did it all night on Tuesday without being pulled up.
Why didn’t VAR look at their second goal? Foul in the lead up with the obvious handball. You can bet if it had been us who had scored that way the goal would’ve been annulled. Double standards, really shit refereeing today.
And the play acting, the bigger the team the worse they are it. Look like dominoes.
I watched it on the telly and they did do a check on the second goal. The ball hit their blokes face not his arm. Most of the fouls given against us were fouls, City just move a second to quickly for our players and they kept getting the players boots not the ball. I am not surprised they screamed a bit. We were lucky to only get two yellows and probably Brown should have had a red
If you’d been at the game, without having seen a replay nor any mention of it being checked by VAR in realtime that looked like a handball. You’d be just as f.ucked off if. Cheers not f.uck off back
But why no foul by Rodri for the first goal when he is late and bundles into Lockyer preventing him blocking Silvas shot?....and this didnt appear to be noticed by the Var.. .all that were at the game believed the 2and was handball but it wasnt it did hit him the face but they checked that I am sure so why not the first goal
