Is there anyway to turn off Dean and Neville

Mute button

 

[IanM]

Gave up at half time, I've turned it off entirely. Too many people falling over.

Sanchez been very poor in this game so far

I’ve corrected that for you

The weakest link in this Chelsea side by a country mile. With 27 other ‘keepers on the books I’m amazed he still gets a game.

Nice to see an on field referee stand by the original, and correct, decision. Sorry, I’m no City fan, but if that had been ruled out it would have been farcical.

Looks like you have to hold that praise. PGMOL have just said the onfield decision actually disallowed the goal. And VAR asked him to review as they believed it to be a goal.

I guess the linesman flagged for offside, but couldn't see the line of the shot

 

[Don Barzini]

Who decided we needed to hear more from referees on tv? Mike Dean here and on Soccer Saturday, Howard Webb on The Overlap. Just do the job properly, we shouldn't even know who you are.

Absolutely. Some of them just seem to want the spotlight.

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Such a scrappy poor game

 

[Arthur Wedge]

Good win


Ref was awful



Top of the league

Strange tactics from us we seemed to sit back and let them have the ball.
Then counter attack.
Scared of their pace maybe.
Thought Chelsea were the better team first half .
But a wins a win and we might not have won that last season.

On the ref he dosnt seem to know what shoulder to shoulder is !

True but the reaction was ott. He'll bust a blood vessel if he keeps on doing that!!

Some of his decisions were shocking but that at the end was one of the worst

Blimey a right back getting slaughtered for his defensive work and it’s not TAA


Watching it again that second penalty imo should have stood - that’s a foul anywhere else on the pitch


Sturridge is a strange pundit , sometimes he says some very good stuff but then comes up with “Jackson one of the best goalscorers in the league”


Chelsea’s GK is very poor


I was surprised they took off Madueke as he was giving Robbo lots of issues

Have heard that they found Palmer in Jones pocket though

And Slot saying he deserved the yellow a manager being honest , whatever next

The difference is it's the keeper, keepers don't just tackle they are more inclined to block balls with their body as they can use hands etc so keepers are judged a lot differently when it comes to fouls as they put themselves in different positions to that of defenders

I only saw it once, but did the goalie not just come out to narrow the angle and make a save, and he made the save? Any contact after that was surely just a coming together of 2 players running toward each other and was unavoidable?

So when a gk wipes out and attacker it’s just a “coming together”

Gk got a slight touch the ball went through his legs and then he took out Jones

It’s not a “clear and obvious error” giving the penalty

The keeper has done exactly what he has to do. Come out and close the angle.

What else should he do, stay on his line.

If you give a penalty for that, then all strikers need to be told is that if they are ever clean through on goal, run as fast as they can towards keeper, shoot just before keeper gets to them. If they score, great. If not, they'll just run into keeper and get a penalty

the gk has taken the player out

Do you seriously think that a gk is ok to take a player out just because they are trying to close the angle

Any striker that’s taken out by the GK will be getting a penalty

They haven’t just “run into each other”

It’s not a clear and obvious error - it’s a subjective call

It’s one that if it’s not given because of the touch then they won’t overturn it but once given it’s not a clear and obvious error

I've already told you my opinion, I'm not changing my view.

The goalkeeper hasn't wiped out the player. He has made a save, the player has run into him, and then fallen over the keeper due to their momentum.

The officials felt the same. You don't.

But, I am 100% sure in my view the keeper has come out and made a save. So, not subjective in my view.

So, if I was VAR I'd had recommended a review. You wouldn't. Although I'm sure you'd be devastated had Chelsea won a penalty like that

Yes but he tackled like a pub centre half.
If he’d gone with his hands no problem.

Why dosnt that go for outfield players then?
I agree with you by the way ,but you can’t have different rules for different players.
Been people sent off for that.
I think if you get a bit of the ball it’s a good tackle ,and didn’t think that’s a pen.
