    VAR is shit, no matter what division.

    I’m not sure Don Goodman realises that the  threshold for what constitutes a red card is the same in a playoff final as in every other match.  
    You’re right of course, but then the thresholds for red cards and bookings should be the same from the first minute of a game to the last, but we all know the refs give leeway in the first few minutes. Just look at Michael Smith leading with his arm in the first minute or so today. Didn’t even get a talking to. Nailed on yellow if it was later in the game.

    What’s the point of VAR two terrible decisions.
    I'm pretty confident if they were the other way round Sheff W would have been given a penalty and a Sheff W player wouldn't have been sent off.

    Blatant penalty and not a red card

    Both times they stayed with the on field decision. Smells like a VAR who doesn’t feel confident intervening in the big moments of big games.

    As are the refs, embarrassing.

     I don’t think that’s necessarily true, but it does feel like it because it’s so unjust.

    Think whilst it wasn't a horrendous challenge he was airborne, late and not not in control at the point of impact, most referees would probably have issued a red.

    These drinks breaks are flipping annoying.

    Not seen the incidents, but I imagine there's an element of Umpires Call, going with the onfield decision unless it's a massive error.

    Most referees would be wrong then.

    I’d say that’s probably true for the red card. But not giving the pen is unforgivable. Absolutely clear as day.

    Whilst the implemenation of VAR may be very poor, when they were intervening I couldn't detect any bias, just frequent poor decisions.
    Now VAR are taking a more back seat role, the decisions (to me) are returning once again in favour of the bigger clubs.

    Does get on my pip the way the commentators talk about Bannan like he’s Messi.

    That's it definitely not intentional just a clumsy challenge yellow at most

    And, furthermore, the way Bannan thinks he’s Messi.

    Really? This is the same deal as with Forest vs Huddersfield last season. They're ensuring they get the right result. I say this as someone who isn't usually a conspiracy theorist about these things

    Probably, but they would argue it is how they are told to interpret the laws of the game.  The fact that it wasn't horrific doesn't matter, we just look at the end result and scratch our heads.

    Barnsley did well with 10, now extra time. Lost my bet but want Barnsley to win, even if its penalties

    Victories are rigged, perhaps?

    What I would say is that having seen Wednesday on tv a lot this season and versus us, they are a very functional, boring team to watch.

    Ipswich, Plymouth and Barnsley a lot easier on the eye aesthetically. That Wednesday fan on Charlton Life a while back enthusing on their football this season is clearly deluded.

    I get your point about Wednesday being functional. I didn’t see the Play Off Semi but I can’t imagine how they overturned a four goal deficit.

    Which makes him the perfect Wednesday fan.
