The handball rule is ridiculous (I think - I’m not too sure what it is anymore) and will no doubt be changed again soon.
I guess part of the game, at least in my lifetime, has always been about fans having a moan about decisions, and discussions about how the ref has interpreted something.
I think VAR was supposed to end this but it seems to have created more. For me it should only be used for offsides, as this seems to be something which can’t be contested…you’ve got a toe offside? Tough shit it’s still offside.
If it's your own player you're more likely to see a tackle as a good tackle. If it's against your own player you're more likely to see it as a foulThis is the reality of football and implementing rules of the games. Refereeing directives will attempt to adapt to the general feeling within football, but people never want what they say they want.
They're got a massive inferiority complex masquerading as a superiority one.Tried to keep my powder dry on Wednesday but wtf are *some* of these roasters on about?
They monkey chant Palmer, Diaby headbutts Kitch, they boo the knee, Bernard puts Allen in an ambulance and Bannans.....just Bannan.
And apparently we're `entitled'?
More trouble with Coventry.
He gives the free kick doesn't he so he sees it alrightWatching the replay, the ref was looking right at it as well.
Has anybody got a link to what MR said?
They said a few nasty things about us having bad owners - I can tolerate that, it’s part and parcel of footballYep, remember the fall out with Sheffield United fans.
Yeah, if VAR creates more subjective calls, what’s the point!Agreed, and I think most referees are happy with the fact that some decisions they make will be contentious.
But I know from speaking to some of the top refs in England, they agree on VAR. They don't enjoy when they get appointed to VAR, and in general they want it to be for factual calls not subjective ones. The only ones it can really get correct are ball in and out of play and offsides as you say.
If it's your own player you're more likely to see a tackle as a good tackle. If it's against your own player you're more likely to see it as a foul

Although it did also give us that great moment in the playoff final…

They will absolutely love telling stevenage how much bigger their attendances are the fucking boring cuntsHe'll enjoy Burton away next year
Bong got a 3 game retrospective ban for doing almost the same thing to O'Hare didn't he.
The only difference was, he was caught on close-up film.
Seen the replay of the incident so MR has got proof to go to the FA withIt needs to be looked at, but will have to hope there is footage capturing it.
Not great if it means he's potentially out for the rest of the season. (I doubt it but that's what telegraph have reported it could be)
I think it would have been captured by city cameras just above the press sectionYes I think it will depend on there being some other footage.
I don't think they will do anything based on that clip. As obvious as it may be, I think they would need a close up to enforce any retrospective action.
We’d better be 3-0 up at halftime then!Current discussions are that it won't be used in this year's play offs...
Blind side of the refPulling shirts and obvious fouls are just the game
Elbowing someone in added time on the blind side of the ref after the ball has gone is a whole other level of absolute twat!
Deserves banning
Blind side of the ref
: He yellow carded him so he had to of seen something
if that’s the case the FA might be able to take retrospective action.He raised his hand and it did look like a card but nothing given looking at stats
This is the moment of contact, so although the ref was looking in that direction, there was no way he had a proper view of the contact.

Added to the fact they booed palmer being subbed ... again
