Agree with this. Was hoping this season we'd be doing a Palace/Bournemouth and as you say, without all the shite, we probably would be. Keepers/set pieces cost us a few points too. Sels would have been worth a few more points on his own. Hopefully we stay up and keep the majority of this...

And yet Brighton have a penalty shout turned down for an arm pull and kick on the back of the leg. Doesn’t “meet the threshold” though. It’s utter nonsense. They don’t know what they are doing.

They were both hit straight at him. The Nunez one is awful finishing, he had such a huge gap to the left side of the goal Awful player for the money. Not half as bad as Antony mind.

Nice block on van Dijk.

Dycheball. Chuck themselves all over the place to get free kicks so they can launch it. Exactly what Burnley used to do.

VAR checks all goals anyway. That is protocol. Quite incredible how many ‘soft’ fouls Everton have had in the first 30 minutes.

Turn it on and the first thing I see is Calvert Lewin ‘win’ a free kick….

Absolutely. If the decision is not given on field, there can be 'not enough for VAR to intervene/overturn'... or decision given on field and then also 'not enough for VAR to intervene/overturn'. Guess who has not been given ANY on field decisions in our favour. All 3 penalties we have...

There's no law saying you can't tackle from behind. Didn't Murillo make a goal saving tackle from behind a while back? Most tackles are fine if you play the ball and don't clatter the player. VAR has made some things worse because they are watching in slow motion, things which happen...

Apparently Peterborough have rested a load of players.

The same ref who gave Curtis Jones a red card for that against Spurs. They literally just make it up as they go along. If 1 ref can't be consistent, what chance is there of any consistency across the board.

Leiecster 1-0 up, goal was slightly offside. Wonder if fans of whoever doesn't go up will use this against them for the next 2 years.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c2vwq901e93o Barcelona threatening legal action and the article reminded me of that Belgian game that was completely replayed due to a VAR mistake. This is the tip of the iceberg. Strap in!

So players and managers have media obligations. That get asked these questions by Sky/BBC/whoever. Then if they don't like the answers, they throw a mardy about it? Isn't that a bit hypocritical. The FA are the guardians of the game, they should be more worried about the consistent decline...

Said this ages ago. We got Clattenburg in for a reason yet incredibly the decisions have got worse and there’s more of them. Especially since the FFP breach and subsequent appeal was announced.

Atwell due to officiate Wolves v Bournemouth on Wednesday. What are the chances 3 days later he deems exactly the same incidents as todays as as fouls.

Not really referring to that. Offside is offside. Just in general. They have this annoying knack of getting out of situations like that or being competely outplayed and still coming out with a win. Don’t know if luck is the word, it’s just annoying!

Why should Mr Taylor and Mr Atwell be allowed to f*** off on their merry way without explaining to us plebs why those aren't penalties but they were last week and will be next week for someone else.

They probably accept they've never won owt as well and aren't at all bothered.

Oh it will be 'insufficient contact' and if you go back to previous episodes, he'll have watched a similar incident that was given on field and there wasn't enough to overturn it.
