Greenlizard0 PL & Championship Football Thread ** spoilers ** [25th-28th Sep 2020]

I'm fully aware why the game was restarted, but the ref didn't see the incident and had blown for full-time. The game was stopped and then VAR stepped in and causedthe game to restart. Like I say, not even Fergie achieved that, it's a new one.

I'm sure we can all agree this new handball rule has ruined the game. There's a penalty in every game now and they're not justified. It's causing poor teams to get results they don't deserve.

I would argue the VAR decisions in yesterdays game were spot on. That Ferret number 7 whoever he was diving all game in the box and the penalty was correctly overruled. Harry Kane is the master of that one.

Likewise with the UTD penalty at the end. The players are aware of the rules and need to adapt you can't go jumping in the air with your arms flying all over the place.

No way some of these handballs should be given, majority are "ball to hand" and there is bugger all the defenders can do, its a joke.

 

[Robbo]

Good goal from Leeds.

 

[adam cool dude]

Sheffield are going back down this season. They got nothing going forward.

 

[Andybtsn]

Easy this premier league lark

What happened to Bielsa's old translator?

Has had three since he started with us. They must get sick of him or vice versa

Good yorkshire derby. Enjoyable game to watch and some excellent saves from Meslier.

 

[Snax]

This has sucker punch written all over it for Spurs. Classic spurs manoeuvre coming up

 

[McBain]

Ritchie asking for handball when the guy literally has his hands behind his back :/

 

[Maundie]

Newcastle are appalling, not had a shot on target at 88 mins, never really looked like scoring (fingers crossed for a pigeon there)

 

[Kelt]

Newcastle have had two shots on target in their last three games.

WTF do they do in training, play poker?

Not surprised though, with Bruce at the helm.

 

[omnomnom]

Thats a penalty. If we are being consistent thats a pen.

 

[robfosters]

Has to be a pen if we're being consistent.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Penalty?

Looks offside, actually nope.

 

[McBain]

This is what the game's become absolute joke.

That's just not hand ball at all, said it before but this new rule is a disgrace.

lol Carragher not happy and he's completely right.

 

[Azza]

That has to be a pen based on yesterday and last week.

 

[Robbo]

Jose is going to love this

 

[Ayahuasca]

Knew they would give it after the first replay. Absolute state of the game.

 

[Maundie]

Football is dead
