    2. PartyTime

    Always in favor of MU.

  4. Free Hat

  5. Kane Train

    Clear foul

  6. Who let Udogie out?

    Howard Webb in VAR room?

    Arteta, you called it earlier. F**k

  8. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Pretty soft if you ask me. No bias.

  9. Fish up a tree
    • 2 Years

    Never a clear foul, ref bottled it front of Utd fans

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      No contact on the ball etc

      1. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
        • 3 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Yes but you see more scuffles like that at every corner
        Eriksen messed up, knew it and dropped

  10. Philosopher's Stones

    VAR needs to be binned asap

    1. alsybach
      • 14 Years

      Hear hear

  11. Athletic Nasherbo

    1 year, 9 months ago

    It’s soft but it’s a foul.

    Arsenal fans and Martinelli owners who can’t differentiate from their biases will be the only ones complaining.

    1. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      My complaint is that its inconsistency from earlier incidents this season. Make a line and follow this one. Henderson situation is the same, but goals stand, this not.

  12. Not again Shirley
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Another joke decision. If it’s not obvious or clear then VAR don’t need to get involved. Shame they didn’t watch match of the day yesterday! Just shocking.

  13. Ze_Austin
    • 5 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    I have Martinelli. Dalot's stuck on my bench. Liverpool fan

    That was a foul on Eriksen. Shouldn't even have continued to a goal

    1. Ze_Austin
      • 5 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      VAR wasn't the problem. The ref should have called it once it happened. They give those as fouls daily

    2. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      The problem with this one is that 2 incidents earlier in season ends with the opposite outcome. Inconsistency, and if its clear and obvious, Rierney does not need to look that long. Clear and obvious takes a few seconds and you decide, not two minutes.

    Genuinely enjoy football so much less since VAR

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years

      +1

  15. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Why does Martinelli cut holes in his socks ? Aerodynamic effect ?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      to stop them smelling so much?

    2. sulldaddy
      • 14 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Just wondered that too!
      Weird

    3. DycheDycheBaby
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Makes him 10mph faster on the pitch than anyone else

    4. DycheDycheBaby
      • 9 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Quite a few players do it, to reduce pressure on their calves.

  16. PartyTime
    • 2 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Wenger - Ferguson rivalry… that would never be a foul!

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      they had worse in the stand!

      1. PartyTime
        • 2 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Best rivalry ever

  17. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    So soft. We move!

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      If that happens against you you’re calling a foul, fact.

    2. FPL Emu
      • 13 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Lol, he pushes the player, hits his thigh and gets nothing of the ball. How it took so long I don't know

  18. ShaunGoater123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Very very soft.

    If you are giving those as free kicks then would never have a game of football. Literally stop start every 10 seconds

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      They should have played for a corner.

    2. Digital-Real
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Dont you know?
      It's a non contact sport now

  19. Who let Udogie out?
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Hand ball by VARane? Of course no.

  20. All Hail K
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    So any goal scored any time after that incident could be disallowed.

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Eh?

    2. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Ridiculous statement.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Same phase.

    4. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      until the ball is out?

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Nope. Until a new phase, which is often without the ball going out.

      2. All Hail K
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Perhaps that's the cut off. Otherwise they could always refer back to that incident.

  21. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Would that have been an Ode assist? Wasn't paying attention. Own both him and Marti :/

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Saka

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Yes

      1. x.jim.x
        • 9 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Watching a different game fella?

    3. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      No Saka

  22. SamH123
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    very good from Saka

  23. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Obviously reactive, but Gundogan > Mac Alliaster an okay shout for next GW? Have Gross already, Trossard wouldn't give me enough ITB.

    Allows me to upgrade Archer to Toney/Mitro the following GW.

    Could always WC now and may even after GW8 too.

    Bournemouth good to target.

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Meh. Not sure if it’s chasing points. Brighton’s fixtures after Bou, not the easiest.

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        The WC bit in GW9 is relevant.

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Sorry skimmed. Yeah go for it. Double rise this week I’d imagine

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 9 months ago

            I'll think on it haha.

    2. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Bournemouth now have new manager bounce.

  24. Pukki Party
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Remember the two (?) seasons when there was goal line technology and no VAR they decided to basicly never give a pen for a handball? I enjoyed football so much then

  25. All Hail K
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    On the VAR check the ref isn't looking at the incident, he's looking to see if I have the goal scorer on my team.

  26. el polako
    • 6 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Problem with VAR is that the guys looking at screens away from stadium want to play Central roles and getting involved when they shouldn't have.

    What a pathetic performance throughout the weekend with some of the most disgusting decisions I've seen in a long long while.

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      I don't think that's what's happening looool

      I've always said we should trust the guys in the VAR room to make decisions when they need to intervene, rather than sending the ref to a screen. They are proper referees after all, as much as the guy on the field is.

      1. el polako
        • 6 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        Hard to trust guys in VAR rooms if the making wrong decisions, foul on Mendy ? Give me a break. On pitch ref had it right and then some muppet in a room looking at slow mo gives him wrong advice.

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          The ref on the field makes the decision when looking at the screen. The VAR guys will be on the field in a future match and the roles reversed

          1. el polako
            • 6 Years
            1 year, 9 months ago

            Ref on the pitch made the decision in real time and it was right one.
            Then VAR makes him doubt himself.

            Even Chelsea fans admit this was never a foul.

    2. PogChamp
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      VAR is being used to check every goal. Every goal! They said it wouldn't be used for this and would only focus only on controversial incidents.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        they literally check for incidents.

        and find them.

        They are referees afterall.

      2. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        They always said it would be used for this, what are you on about. How do you determine a controversial incident without checking stuff? think about it haha

  27. Will Kane
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    VAR just seems to result in fewer goals but just as many arguments. Is that beneficial to the game?

    1. Not again Shirley
      • 7 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      Can categorically say that the theory of VAR was excellent but they are using it wrong.

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      no

    3. el polako
      • 6 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      They should all go and watch how it's done in Germany - they nailed it there.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        1 year, 9 months ago

        what's different there?

        1. el polako
          • 6 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          They using it right.

        2. Scots Gooner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          1 year, 9 months ago

          Competent officials

  28. EL_FENOMENO
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    How did Gross look? Went Gross over Trossard and feel kinda stupid

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      he had nice bright boots on.

      v involved.

    2. Jonesfromthere
      • 12 Years
      1 year, 9 months ago

      He was decent but clearly not the best Brighton attacker to own. On the periphery a lot

  29. Ginkapo FPL
    • 12 Years
    1 year, 9 months ago

    Get Elanga on

  30. Who let Udogie out?
    • 1 Year
    1 year, 9 months ago

    How many millions was that shot worth?
