The Footie Thread

[Jimaroid]

Thought that was a decent derby today, good hard game and nothing too embarrassing with fewer cards issued than in recent clashes. Liverpool clearly the stronger team and we were lucky to have Pickford on top form. But we are showing some big improvements and getting some chances which is promising to see.

Oh boy do we need some goals though and the next few fixtures likely won’t bring them.

Staggering

there is talk of corruption which personally I dont believe it is at all. I think its shocking standard of officials

I mean wasnt it chelsea spurs VAR made a mistake the other week and missed a hair pull?

Doesn’t look great from that pic

nah it’s a still frame which can manipulate the fact his leg could of been broken. Move on ?? balls only six inch from his foot from another angle.

Not in control of the ball , palmed it away, never getting up, Bowen tried to get out way

oh dear another shocker ?

Excuse my ignorance, but someone on here posted a week or so ago a review of the weekends controversial decisions, I think it was on ESPN. Could that person post a link to the ESPN reviews again. The alleged tackle by VVD and the disallowed West Ham Utd goal look rammel. It would be nice to see a view where rose tinted glasses are not worn.

Oh ah, tag me in please.

Draw would have been a fair result

Moments before the winner cornet hit the post, should have scored and then they go other end and score, happens

That though is shocking officially and I wouldn't be surprised if both the Var official and ref are stood down for a weekend

Chelsea in all sorts of trouble if they need to rely on dodgy calls to win against lesser clubs

It's not a good one, but he was yellowed so nothing can be done now

Disappointed in the chelsea manager, it's about time a winning manager who gets the decision comes out and say nah var was wrong there we just benefited from it

Chelsea fan (over land and sea) just got in to work, first words were that was an awful decision , our refs are shocking

Not sure Haaland will cut it in the Prem tbh.

Definitely looks like he suddenly put force into that movement as well, just before he made contact.

It seems the VAR in that match has had a shocker. Almost like there was a Chelsea gangster with him, making sure nothing went against his club

If Haalands ankle doesn’t cause him any issues then I suspect he will break Salah goal record for the season , clinical and the chances are getting to him , Mings did well first half by getting tight to him

Edit - pick that out ?

Most annoying thing is, Kane will probably beat Shearer's Prem record, then Haaland will beat that as well 3 years later. ?

Is that the Antonio who should have already gone for the sheer number of “professional” fouls that he committed?

He beat Bowen to the ball, Bowen didn’t miss, it’s a foul. The entire world of football doesn’t think it’s not a foul, otherwise it wouldn’t have been disallowed, would it?

I see Bowen leaving a foot in when he didn't need to. Why not hurdle over? It's a foul and VAR is correct.

Seems strange that the linesman flagged then when it looked very close

Talking about Coutinho's one? He was onside I think, linesman made a mistake. Ederson had given up on the effort though so who knows if he would have saved it if it was still live. Was a good strike.

 

[Swango1980]

Another shocker, this time working for City. Coutinho scored, but before he did play stopped for offside.

Replay shows he was clearly onside

Looks like City not getting Kane as worked out pretty well for them.
Half the price for a younger player.

Was always going to be the case and that's exactly why Levy held out at a price they probably wouldn't pay. ?

Think Kane might be a bit gutted?
