The Footie Thread

Just watched MOTD and the Leeds/Newcastle game was a decent watch. That said, I can’t decide whether it was breathless end to end because of the quality on show, or the astonishing naivety of both sides.

It certainly made for an entertaining game.

I'm still baffled Newcastle didn't get a penalty.

The MOTD edit was nothing like the reality of the game.
Newcastle were time wasting from the start and clearly had prearranged times to fake an injury so the coaching staff could get messages on to players.

And it was never a pen. The lad was already on his way down and the contact was minimal. The one angle I’ve see it’s not even clear there was contact.

VAR drunk if thats a pen on Jota lol

Never a penalty

VAR absolutely shocking once again. At least it only took them 47 minutes to check it before sending the ref to the monitor

Bad bad bad decision!

I find it staggering that two refs looked at that and decided it was a penalty

Never a pen in a million years. Jota has fallen into the keeper. I'd be fuming if it was against us.

Neither was the City match. Weird how they did that and not noticed it before. Looked like the chances were even between the sides and didn't even show the awful challenge on Grealish in the first half. Oh and the Southampton keeper time wasting from the 20th minute

Agree, that was never a penalty.

 

[ColchesterFC]

That's an absolute joke of a penalty decision.

It shows just how poor they are. The time it took as well, 1 replay was all it took for anyone viewing to go "nope. not a pen, move on".

 

[Piece]

I’ll defend VAR to the cows come home.

But thats not a pen.

 

[ColchesterFC]

Does anyone believe that decision would have been awarded in favour of Palace in the same situation?

VAR is turning football into a joke. Should have gone to Specsavers.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Blimey it’s that a rare occasion where we are all in agreement ?

Football was turning into a joke long before VAR arrived..
VAR has just confirmed it.
