Those are the two worst VAR decisions I’ve ever seen in quick succession. Absolutely blatant penalty on Palmer, then Brobbey has Colwill by the throat ripping his shirt off and they do nothing. The standard of VAR decisions is unbelievably bad. They’re clueless. #cfc
9 games into the season and we’re missing Martinez, James, Acheampong, Lacroix and Joao Pedro. 5 starters. With no European football. Not a single rival has the same. Needs investigating.
Rushmore for Coventry is a terrible GK. I can’t believe such a drama was made of him in the summer. Looks a calamity every time I see him. Basics seem awful.
And FWIW - KDH closer to offside than Estevao last week and goal given.
Tarkowski is exempt from refereeing week in week out. Pulls one Coventry players hair, whilst throwing his arm in the face of another. What do they need to look at to give a pen, after the ref has a perfect view. Mental.
Roméo Lavia travelled to watch his boyhood club R.S.C. Anderlecht just hours after dropping a superb performance against Manchester United🇧🇪
Still supporting the club that helped shape his development 🙌
The first picture is from Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest on May 4, 2026. Gusto pulled Awoniyi’s shirt while he was attempting to head a cross, and Forest were awarded a penalty.
Fast-forward to today’s Liverpool vs Arsenal game: Gabriel clearly pulled Isak’s shirt in a similar situation, preventing him from getting to the cross, yet VAR refused to award a penalty.
So, what exactly is the standard here? How can two seemingly similar incidents produce completely different decisions?
The inconsistency in Premier League officiating is becoming ridiculous. And Arsenal seem to keep benefiting from these decisions.
We deserve consistency, not selective application of the rules.
@NiceGuyKenny@SonOfChelsea You only have to look at the penalty box line to see Estevao is not just onside as Palmer plays the pass, he’s got some in the bank. Strange choice to cut the image and adjust the angle to suit the desired outcome. Must think fans are stupid.
@BBCMOTD make some basic checks on your terrible commentators. Ipswich goal at Hull “first they’ve conceded in the first half in the Premier League” 🤔 Do better. Fulham last week. Newcastle 2 weeks before. Chelsea the week before that.
We live in a Premier League where wonder goals are disallowed for *THIS*. Even using this terrible system, it shows both players marginally over the line. How do you choose to over-turn the on-field decision here?
We’ve got a CB at RB, a RB at LB and a winger at ST. And we wonder why we’re so disjointed.
Why not just play players in their actual positions ffs. Fix it at HT and the game can still be won.
