      no needle aloud

      a slight push

      I get it but it's soft.

    2. PartyTime
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Too soft for a match like this.

  2. AC/DC AFC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 1 month ago

    What would Roy Keane and Patrick Vieira do??

  3. bso
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Always in favor of MU.

  4. Free Hat
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I have Martinelli and its a clear foul imo. Too bad

  5. Kane Train
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Clear foul

  6. Football is home
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Howard Webb in VAR room?

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Lee Mason

  7. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Pretty soft if you ask me. No bias.

  8. The Mentaculus
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Arteta, you called it earlier. F**k

  9. Fish up a tree
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. TorresMagic™

      No contact on the ball etc

      1. KanuLenoMeeMoCash
        4 years, 1 month ago

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

  10. The Philosopher
    4 years, 1 month ago

    VAR needs to be binned asap

    1. alsybach
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Hear hear

  11. Athletic Nasherbo

    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…
      4 years, 1 month 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
    4 years, 1 month 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
    4 years, 1 month 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
      4 years, 1 month 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…
      4 years, 1 month 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.

  14. Bubz
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Genuinely enjoy football so much less since VAR

    1. g40steve
      4 years, 1 month ago

      +1

  15. Sim Simma

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

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 1 month ago

      to stop them smelling so much?

    2. sulldaddy
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Just wondered that too!
      Weird

    3. DycheDycheBaby
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Makes him 10mph faster on the pitch than anyone else

    4. DycheDycheBaby
      4 years, 1 month ago

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

  16. PartyTime
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 1 month ago

      they had worse in the stand!

      1. PartyTime
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Best rivalry ever

  17. Arteta
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So soft. We move!

    1. Athletic Nasherbo
      4 years, 1 month ago

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

    2. FPL Emu
      4 years, 1 month 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

    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
      4 years, 1 month ago

      They should have played for a corner.

    2. Digital-Real
      4 years, 1 month ago

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

  19. Football is home
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Hand ball by VARane? Of course no.

  20. All Hail K
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Eh?

    2. Athletic Nasherbo
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Ridiculous statement.

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Same phase.

    4. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 1 month ago

      until the ball is out?

      1. Deulofail
        4 years, 1 month ago

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

      2. All Hail K
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        4 years, 1 month ago

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

  21. Deulofail
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Scots Gooner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Saka

    2. Ginkapo FPL
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

      1. x.jim.x
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Watching a different game fella?

    3. Athletic Nasherbo
      4 years, 1 month ago

      No Saka

  22. SamH123
    4 years, 1 month ago

    very good from Saka

  23. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    4 years, 1 month 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
      4 years, 1 month ago

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

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        4 years, 1 month ago

        The WC bit in GW9 is relevant.

        1. Athletic Nasherbo
          4 years, 1 month ago

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

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            4 years, 1 month ago

            I'll think on it haha.

    2. Not again Shirley
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Bournemouth now have new manager bounce.

  24. Pukki Party
    4 years, 1 month 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
    4 years, 1 month 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
    4 years, 1 month 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
      4 years, 1 month 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
        4 years, 1 month 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
          4 years, 1 month 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
            4 years, 1 month 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
      4 years, 1 month 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
        4 years, 1 month ago

        they literally check for incidents.

        and find them.

        They are referees afterall.

      2. Deulofail
        4 years, 1 month 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
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. Not again Shirley
      4 years, 1 month 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
      4 years, 1 month ago

      no

    3. el polako
      4 years, 1 month 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
        4 years, 1 month ago

        what's different there?

        1. el polako
          4 years, 1 month ago

          They using it right.

        2. Scots Gooner
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Competent officials

  28. EL_FENOMENO
    4 years, 1 month ago

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

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      4 years, 1 month ago

      he had nice bright boots on.

      v involved.

    2. MEGPAL
      4 years, 1 month ago

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

  29. Ginkapo FPL
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Get Elanga on

  30. Football is home
    4 years, 1 month ago

    How many millions was that shot worth?
