vikingTON Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I’m not convinced that it’s serious foul play - slow motion replays always make ‘stamps’ look 100x worse - but that shouldn’t matter. The challenge is clearly endangering an opponent just like a knee high lunge and so should be a red card under those terms anyway. If they’re not checking it under every potential offence then the system is a joke. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Distant Doonhamer Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 No idea why Lampard has dropped Alonso for most of this season. Chelsea always a far better balanced side and attacking threat when he plays. Alonso much better as a wing-back rather than LB in a flat back 4. I think he struggles at LB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but most people I see on Twitter etc. claim that VAR as a technology is the issue, and not the people actually making the decision. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutty Old Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 The commentary team are priceless. Hoddle tying himself in knots. He agreed that it shouldn't be a red card but then says that's where Stockley Park let themselves down. Fails to mention that he agreed with them. "He was trying to roll the ball back with his boot" Was he Glen ? Aye ? They pay a referee for his opinion and he does a somersault too, after agreeing with VAR. It was as clear a red card as you will ever see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grangemouth Bairn Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 On 20/02/2020 at 00:10, Carnoustie Young Guvnor said: They surely should have picked a league or asked for a volunteer for a fee and trialled VAR for a while before implementing it widely. Either a one or three year trial in Switzerland or Denmark or whatever and iron everything out with how its implemented, its an utter shambles and is ruining games. I hope Scotland never adopts it and it is becoming a selling point for a league that it doesn't have it, fans just want to watch real football. A trial in Switzerland ? It’s not fucking Euthanasia mate !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derry Alli Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Crystal Palace were all over Newcastle for 15 minutes. Newcastle break, Joelinton takes a pop from about 30 yards and the Palace keeper makes an excellent the save. The resultant corner was one of the worst I've ever seen in my life. In play and back out before the 18 yard box. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he struggles at LBAlonso played well in a flat back 4 many times but was when Chelsea had Kante playing in the holding role and had that superb season a couple of years back covering every blade of grass in front of their defence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derry Alli Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 (edited) Apparently scenes in the Bournemouth game. Bournemouth score a goal which is chopped off and the game then dragged back and Burnley given a penalty for handball a considerable time before. VAR is terrific.

VAR is terrific. yeah but everything's right by the letter of the law so, y'know, the game's the winner and everyone should be happy... imagine how stupid all those millions of people were who made football the most popular spectator sport in the history of humanity; if they'd only realised that they were watching something that could have been improved by the intervention of some clueless c***s in a hut guessing at things which impacted on, undermined and ultimately ruined the spontaneity of the whole thing - duh - what simplistic easily-pleased twats they must all have been... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
accies1874 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I didn't see much of the second half of the Chelsea game. What's this about them admitting their mistake? How was that even communicated? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
