        Because the referee is incompetent and VAR is pointless.

          Nah, I'm starting to believe there's an element of corruption in these decisions. All in the money and where these decisions tend to fall for. The data is becoming more compelling.

            I’m not keen on conspiracy theories but it’s becoming harder to find a plausible explanation for decisions like that. Especially when there’s the backup option of VAR & the final decision is still so woefully poor.

            Can professional & ‘elite’ level referees KEEP being so absolutely awful on such a regular basis?

            And why are they so bad here compared to on the continent?

            There’s no viable reason why British refs would be so measurably bad compared to European refs.

              Yep the game is going sour due to corruption

                Finally...

                Money, closed shop refs and var, money, intertwined with club ownership, money, fa sweeteners, money, front row seats at the beheadings, more money.
                removing all the weak links makes us stronger

                too many gutless players, no beef or desire. pussies everywhere... sack them all.

                  I think it’s just that refs don’t really know what has happened a lot of the time and guess when making decisions, and VAR is designed to reinforce the guess by applying an arbitrary rule set about when it can get involved with an inbuilt bias against get involved.

                        For the Newcastle penalty I think you need to see from the other whether there is contact with the standing/trailing leg of the Newcastle player, from that angle you can't see if there is contact or not. And while it seems fairly clear that the Newcastle player is on his way down as he sees the challenge coming VAR can really over rule it as obviously wrong if there is no contact (stupid rules) If the other angle shows contact however slight it's not a clear and obvious error by the ref to give it so it has to stand. As I say the rules are dumb because he is definately on his way down regardless...

                        The foul on the Wolves player in the 90th minute, we've had loads of those not given, I think it's a pen. but they are rarely given.

                        In summary the officials are **** and VAR isn't fit for purpose. Another weekend another VAR farce
                        The only gracious way to accept an insult is to ignore it; if you can't ignore it, top it; if you can't top it, laugh at it; if you can't laugh at it, it's probably deserved.

                          Fulham v Utd

                          Amrabat, Mount, Varane on the bench. Rashford dropped from the squad (edit: apparently injured in training and failed a late fitness test).

                          Think Fulham will win this.

                            After he went clubbing after the city game, I wonder is he being sent to the same naughty step as Sancho! Or maybe he’s downing tools.

                              I was thinking did I want them to win, to buy yer man some time… but focket, may as well enjoy it if they do lose, I think he’ll be gone soon enough either way really.

                                Feels like the latter. Can't be arsed.

                                I feel some sympathy for ten Hag but he doesn't help himself with the way he treats his players in public. Klopp would have handled the Rashford birthday thing so much better.
