Definitely, we honestly was shit and didn't really deserve to win, but to lose it like that is incredibly frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we didn't lose mate! You've turned into my iPhone and gone mental... I still can't restart it and have a frozen screen with the West Brom goal alert.

I can't even restart it and the screen is frozen... It's more of an Arsenal fan than I am! Anyway... A draw it is then. 1-1 (FT) That's Apple for you Haven't seen the decision yet, but hopefully it'll be a catalyst to speed up the introduction of video reviews. A man can dream...

You can forgive genuine errors, some offside decisions, fouls being inside or outside a box etc... which are the finest of margins but not stuff like that. I'd rather have them in charge than Dean. I genuinely think he does these things to get attention although I do fucking hate Madley's face... 1 minute ago, SirBalon said: But we didn't lose mate!

Subscriber Storts+ 2,424 Posted December 31, 2017 Subscriber Share Posted December 31, 2017 Arsenal fans weren’t moaning about Dean when he gifted them decisions in the NLD. What goes around comes around. Well done Mike today, had the balls to make a big call and give West Brom what they deserved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How has a team ever deserved a penalty that wasn't a penalty? How does that work? One thing hasn't got anything to do with the other. The fact WBA may not have deserved to lose is by-the-by because we all know football is cruel more times than not. Football is about scoring more goals than your opponent and here we have an extraordinary occurance where the influence isn't what a team does but an authoratitive decision.

Oh my friend - the second half of the post was pure wum. Nice way to end the year that. Never a pen. The first point is valid though - obviously football fans pick and choose their gripes. Ultimately the standard of officiating in this country is as low right now as I can ever remember it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 It wasn't a penalty but neither was ours against Burnley so it swings and roundabouts. I'm glad var is coming in. The amount of stick referees get is ridiculous. They are bound to make some mistakes. The footballers on the pitch make a lot more mistakes than the referrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officiating is terrible everywhere. Just got back from Italy and I watched a number of games out there and in half of them people were complaining about mad decisions. In Spain for example Real Madrid have had two offside goals given against them this season that weren't offside and Barcelona have had three goals that have clearly crossed the line (one by a whole metre) and not given. Theres a common occurence everywhere with all these errors and that's way to coincidental. Technology is a must because even though as has been proven even that's not perfect (even VAR has had errors), it definitely helps the referees. Football is getting quicker and trickier to officiate by the human eye on the run versus full blown athletes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inverted 1,776 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 If it wasn't for all these shite decisions then Sky would need to find two people to actually talk about football for an hour every night on the Debate. Which we all know is beyond them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluewolf 7,161 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 I did think Palace had done well after seeing the draw but then found out they missed the penalty and thought bunch of plebs... Seriously good effort though by them... Are they not the first side in the league not to concede a goal against them?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to batter the opposition or else you will get some game-changing decision against you. Poor big teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
