Looking at that, I think Yirenkyi is fortunate that he didn’t end up with a serious ankle injury.

This forum and our twitter fans would have been the same!

Clear as day it was a foul, Caleb could/should have just gone down. But anyone not clouded by bias still thinking it's not a foul or he dived has never player football or done any sport in their lives. It doesn't take much to knock you out of stride and it's a bitch to regain control after it happens. Yes he went down in installments but that's more to do with him trying desperately to stay up right

Delap on the other hand felt any nudge in the back and instantly pulled his knees up and crumpled on the floor. It's a sadly what you do nowadays

But I mean… Delap:.. £50 million…

thug in boots

A less popular pantomime, for sure.

Seems to be a Forest fan writing up over at the Graun.

From the match report:

"It looked harsh: Yirenkyi had fallen readily under minimal contact."

Then from the summary of the weekend's action:

"Though was it Mfuni that Caleb Yirenkyi tripped over for the VAR decision that denied Forest an equaliser? Zapruder-esque footage from Forest fans suggests it might have been."

I see you, John Brewin. I fucking see you.

I don't really understand it because if I saw that replay after we'd just scored a goal I would immediately think, fuck VAR will rule that out. Whether people like that or not is up for debate but in the VAR world we live in, its getting ruled out every single time.

Yeah. Who was that git in the Grauniad? They have some brilliant footy journo- analysts at weekends but in general their midweek coverage outside the PL is garbage. Get a full report on the evening Man U result from Turkey (e.g.) next morning, EPL results 36 hrs later with tables 'not including last night's results' Crap

Agreed.

I'm completely with all of the arguments that it slows the game down and kills spontaneity, but the decision on Saturday was exactly what it's for. Within the confines of having VAR, there's no controversy at all.

It's just football fans looking for something to cling to in the main, but it's a bit weird the writer in that article doubling down.

Delap, last season smashed Spence jaw to bits and on the weekend pushes over a player for no reason. To make up for his lack of ability he just goes round whacking everyone. Total kunt

I quite like Brewin. I fucking love Max and Barry.

So much better than the Neville, Carragher and Keane types that are all over the place.

these fucking Forest lot are gonna be this year's Sunderland ain't they??? VAR wouldn't have looked at it if it wasn't a foul.........end of!!
Suck it up and move on Trees, it's not getting changed!!!

 

[Warwickhunt]

The "neutral" commentators on m.o.d said the V.A.R decision was correct.
End of argument really, anything else is just sour grapes.

But by the same definition we should also accept it when the decision goes against us, which im sure it will at some point.

FA cup semi final! Need i say more?

 

[SkyBluePower]

Most Forest fans I’ve seen on twitter have been pretty generous about us and also contrasting their drop of in vocal home support when compared to how good our away support was. Sounds familiar of course.

 

[SkyBlueSteve81]

Wonder if Lampard will even say to him, next time, just go down holding your foot and you will get the decision on field.

In all liklihood if he'd have gone straight down the other defender just clears it anyway so free kick or clearance the goal wouldn't have happened.
