Bad reffing is the answer!

Same as Bergval not getting a second yellow in the first leg ,then scoring the winner.

VVD gave the officials a decision to make, but Richarlason is a blatant cheat trying to get him carded holding his face when the contact was on his chest.
Maybe that had something to do with it?
This 👍 and this is part of Richarlison down fall. And probably why VVD never got sent off. For me the intent was there it’s a red. Then Richarlison gets up, here’s a yellow for being a lying tit.
 
Just think of the uproar there would be if every Ref, and VAR official bar 2 or 3, lived within a 50 mile radius of London
If I could just reverse that, how many pages would we have had on here if Richarlison had done that to VVD. VVD Did what he did.He got away with it. But this episode typifies what is wrong with football.

VVD is a thug for knowingly using his elbow
Richarlison is a cheat.
VAR is not fit for purpose when officials are incompetent.

Now don’t get me wrong we all want a return to the old days of a good competitive game VVD and others being tough in the tackle etc etc. Especially in a semi final. Get a tackle in early etc. But that challenge highlighted to be a lot of things that is wrong in football.
I can think of 115 more.😉

I estimate 6 pages. Unless you had a particular user on Ignore, then maybe 1 page?

Just watched it again a few times.
Richarlason has his arm across VVD.
VVD puts his body weight into his arm to shrug him off but he’s got his arm bent not straight like Richarlason.
He dosnt swing his elbow he’s just using his physicality.

It dosnt look good but it’s a yellow at most and certainly a foul.

Refs seem to be letting players battle for the ball a bit more lately.
 
That’s opinions in football eh 👍

We all have them

Could say the same when it comes to your thoughts on Forest decisions

We all think our own team is hard done by and every one else gets away with it

There’s having different opinions and there’s point blank refusal to ever admit your own team got the run of the green.

Seriously bud, I reckon that a Liverpool player could pick up an opponent, body slam them on the ground, get up, drop an elbow on their face, jump onto their shin with two feet and be picked up by the pitchside microphones saying “I hope that b****rd never walks again” and you’d still say “Well it’s one of those decisions that could have been given either way! 🤣🤣

Re Forest. I’d have zero problem in admitting when we’ve been lucky with a shocker of a decision. Off the top of my head, we drew 1-1 to Burnley last season and they had a winner wrongly chalked off for a handball in the build up. We got lucky with that one.

(And we repeatedly paid for it for the rest of the season! 🤣🤣🤣🤣)

If we get a clear red card then have no issues admitting it 👍

And when we have had a “shocker” of a decision go in our favour

That’s about it for me as well - foul yellow card at most but certainly not the shocker it’s being portrayed as
 
Where is Mainoo playing in the current line up ?

The graphic has him in a Xmas Tree formation in a two behind Hojlund?

Wouldn’t they have Fernandes there and Mainoo alongside Urgate in the middle

I suspect that could be his best position. He can play further back with Ugarte, but his ability in possession might be better used behind striker.

Bruno has played behind striker or in the more defensive position. Maybe not his best position, defensive. Especially if he goes walkabout. But has been played there a fair bit
