EPL Matchday 27 - On Optus Sport

[BringouttheGimp]

Had a conversation with a Manchester United mate of mine the other day.. reckons he was happy with the Watford draw cause he's just happy to see a 1 in 9 in 2022 Ronaldo out there.. a true great.

What decision went our way yesterday?

Oh you mean the decision to sub in pen saver master Kepa.

Ok mate.

 

[jod23]

Ok mate.

No seriously which decision? There was only one that was debatable and that's the Keita red card. But referee's dismissed it pretty quickly given it was really more of a 50/50 and a coming together.

All the offsides, were offside. No grey area there unfortunately.

Different angle has just been released. Bet you're all embarrassed now and should apologise to VAR.

Umm, cool?

How pathetic and embarrassing lol

Whats the point? What does the apology do, it doesnt change the result. Just move on and get on with it.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

It's just extra accountability. It's not going to get us anything. It's not going to stop it happening again.

What it might do, however, is get the VAR team to take their time a bit more or even get them to look at the process, so it doesn't happen as often in the future. Plus the apology and acknowledgement will help settle the incident a bit more. It's like when you get cut off by someone while driving and they wave to apologise - it doesn't really do much to the outcome but it'll likely calm you down a bit unless you're a socio/psychopath

 

[moomba]

Although to be fair, unprompted apologies for bad decisions are made rarely and to one or two clubs only.

* me if thats the standard Arsenal would be asking for weekly apologies.

 

[moomba]

It's quite bizarre really. The ref made a bad decision (maybe unsighted). VAR made a bad decision and by all accounts didn't check the potential offside which would have made this all irrelevant.

PGMOL doubled down on the decision by VAr and explained why it was the correct one. Then someone has a cry and the apologies come out.

Doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in PGMOL and Mike Riley.

 

[SM]

Having them admit fault actually inspires more confidence as they will hopefully learn from the incident. I'd prefer that to them doubling down on an incorrect call.

Like they did after the match.

Learning not to take bribe money or?

Everton receive an apology from the head of the professional referees body Mike Riley after they were denied a penalty in their 1-0 defeat by Manchester City.

Worked didn't it?

How is it pathetic & embarassing? Or are we just meant to keep copping incorrect decisions without speaking up and just keep rolling over?

All of these decisions/non-decisions were wrong and all in the last few weeks. There’s more from earlier in the season such as a late studs up tackle on Richarlison v Burnley and Rondon having his shirt pulled off in the penalty area v Brentford, as well as the overturned penalty v Spurs that was nowhere near being a clear & obvious error

Any that have gone your way? Most clubs could come up with plenty of examples where they've been ripped off by refs/VAR.

Mike Rileys phone would.probably run out of batteries if he had to call us for every s**t decision his refs have given against us.

We were also the first team to have someone suspended for diving for a penalty. Pretty sure every other team could have had multiple
