F*CK VAR

[viv_andersons_nana]

You could see from the first replay that Spurs goal was onside. 4 minutes wasted, poring over countless replays to decide something that could’ve been decided after one.

**** VAR.

 

[Jedi boro]

I disagree I reckon most thought it off side so var saved a goal

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

Just leave it to the linesman.

 

[viv_andersons_nana]

Oh my god they’re never giving Brentford a penalty for that. Jesus Christ. That is a scandal.

Legalised match fixing.

That period of football that was played between Brentford appealing for a penalty and the ref stopping to check the telly, is that added on at the end of the half?

It depends on who is winning when they add the time on

VAR checking… team badge.

 

[TeaCider]

Pathetic decision to give that as a penalty.

Legalised match fixing.

Ivan Toney still lurking in the backgro7nd?

 

[Way_Out_West]

In no way was that a penalty. A foul the other way round if anything, the Brentford player stuck out his foot and tripped Son. I can't understand how a group of referees can come to that decision.

Spurs losing, 11 minutes added

Thought it was a pen myself. Hit his foot and totally unbalanced him?

Me too. Catches him on the top of the ankle.

Brentfords intensity is really impressive. Tottenham look short on ideas and creativity and very ill disciplined.

 

[viv_andersons_nana]

Massive hoo-hah about adding every second on for goals scored and he’s added 4 seconds on for a celebration that lasted for a minute and a half. I thought they wanted accuracy? You’re either adding it on or you’re not, surely. I expect this referee to be refereeing in the second tier next week for that.

Refs fault. They need to stand up and say that's not caused him to fall over. He took another step and then threw himself to the floor.
Refs need to overule VAR more often. Not a clear and obvious mistake.

Yep I thought the first one was initially offside till you saw it again and again. As Viv said though 4 mins is more than a bit rich as they are supposed to monitor it from the second the ref gives it, Maybe they have to apply all the various angles and technology and they are a bit cr@p at applying it quickly?

I thought in real time it was a pen, you don’t drop like he did unless it hurt. Ankle kicks really do hurt and he was kicked right on the ankle. I think the slo mo makes it look softer than it was personally, so totally get why many think it wasn’t a pen

My biggest gripe on VAR is the inconsistency that you see between different officials interpreting it.

Totally agree , a bit of contact in a contact sport. That in no way caused him to fall to floor in that manner. He could have easily continued playing

There was contact, it was a penalty.
