Right before the Man City penalty there was a moment when Callum Wilson went through on goal
Defender clearly pulls him back slightly before Wilson shoots but leaves him off balance
Commentators at the time said that Wilson should have gone down as would surely have been a penalty but surely VAR means that players shouldnt have to now?
BTW, that VAR decision. That’s a clear pen in any game in my book. Surprised it went against us, not that we deserved it. Would have papered over the cracks.
Next up, the NLD at the Cameldome. Think I may go out for the day. Sigh.
Think you're well ahead in terms of VAR decisions over the past few months........
VAR for me this weekend has had a shocker. The Kane one and the city one for Silva are both stonewall. I don’t understand it.
was recently announced that the VAR officials will now only overrule the most obvious refereeing errors and not (for example) disallow goals because a player's fingernail was offside .. it seems that the pendulum has now swung too far and referee/linesmen are deemed to be right 99% of the time .. would be best if the referee was to have a look on the pitchside monitor whenever there is a very contentious decision .. the game now is so fast there are always going to be things that the match officials miss .. it's unfair that studio know-alls have the last word on refereeing errors after reviewing incidents 200 times in ultra slow mo

Agreed but the point is VAR is supposed to get every decision correct. That yesterday was incorrect. It wasnt even close. That was a clear cut penalty.
When that ball was played in for the Southampton equaliser....United had 1 player closing down the attacker and a further 9 players between the penalty spot and the goal. In the same area, Southampton had 2 players, but they still got a free header. Terrible defending.
I think Leicester City will have a good season. Obviously not as good as 3 seasons ago but they have looked pretty decent so far. Maddison is class and Tielemans is getting better as well.
How does Granit Xhaka keep getting games? He's the same all the time. Neville said it in the commentary, arsenal have too many rash players that just dive in without any thought. Xhaka being the biggest culprit.

Was going to post the same thing. He's a seasoned pro as well, not like he's a teenager who's just got carried away with the occasion.

That’s working well.
Worst fans to try and talk any sense with
Spurs lack that mentality.
