The Footie Thread

It’s not been 100 years of players acting like spoilt children - it’s crept into the game when the Premiership started and money became such a big say in the game.

It won’t change unfortunately and will prob ultimately get wory

The football authorities could change it tomorrow but they just don’t have the will.
They have changed a lot of interpretations of the rules this year .
Every initiative they have is shelved to soon and they just don’t see anything through.

But it was proved the Ref was wrong and Coady cheated, but because it was a VAR review Coady doesn’t receive a Yellow Card for diving.

Maybe Henderson knew that and was taking his frustration out on the one who got it wrong and couldn’t give Coady a card.?‍

Do you really think that Henderson would get that animated over an opponent not getting a yellow card? That's ridiculous. Henderson lost the plot over a poor refereeing decision that gave a penalty against his team. Nothing to do with a yellow card or not.

It was the ref that changed his mind after looking at the monitor ,alerted by VAR.
The refs in charge and he really should have booked Cody .
The ref is in control of the game and imo should be able to do whatever he sees fit in the game.
Stupid rules like “ he can’t book him because ( add any stupid reason) the rules say so.
That rule needs changing .
The ref should have total control of the game.

Not sure it was all down to the PL. I can remember the likes of Bremner, Souness and a host of others getting into the face of refs well before the PL

Maybe, maybe not, but when that incident happened it could of changed the game, so maybe we should be looking at Coady being the villian in this piece rather than Henderson, who I can understand getting emotional over such a bad decision.

Pogba's agent starting at getting him away from Old Trafford in January. Hardly ideal timing with a massive CL game coming up

Only if you’re willing to accept bad decisions? Surely we should be applauding the use of VAR in this.

In a situation like this the FA should be able to step in and give Coady a retrospective yellow card.

OK then ramping up the pressure again.

Personally I think it's a case of Pogba not being asked most of the time rather than being unable to express himself. Perhaps if he put himself out and put a few top drawer performances then other club may pay attention

Human error by refs is a big part of football in the majority of games played in the UK. There VAR is all about opinions, it’s great when it’s in your favour no matter how stupid the issue is, and against it if it hasn’t worked in your favour. A bit like refs decisions.

I personally think it’s a way of the refs Union earning a bit more dosh and feel that if the vote went to the Prem managers they would bin it.

Looks like Mario has finally burned all his bridges and now forced to ply his trade in the depths of the Italian leagues https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55221630

I'd take him

We are limited on the forward front

You'd think given his age there would still be a few clubs looking to take him on. I wonder if all the baggage he comes with has finally become too great for clubs to be prepared to take a risk on

Been there, seen it, done it. I wouldn't even wish him on Everton.

I can imagine him at Fulham. I'm sure Mario and Mitrovic would get on famously and no chance of them rubbing each other up the wrong way. What could possibly go wrong?

I’d pause it and start it again when they work out the problems, VAR itself isn’t the issue, it’s the people using it and how it’s used.

VAR taking the proverbial again tonight

Like I said last week.

VAR is superb....

Another scandalous use of VAR. It was a foul but Walker-Peters absolutely launched himself into the box, I mean he was flying. Why are they changing it to a penalty when it wasn't clear and obvious? That phrase redundant again. The foul was outside the box.
