GWT: EPL - Matchweek 14

[spintheblackcircle]

Stones and Ake on the bench.

Can we borrow them?

.....frankly, is Son the only guy who would start for City? heh

any VAR overturn of a PK is a dropped ball to the defending team

That’s so dumb.

But a PK was never given, it was just confirmed to not be one. So play should've kept going as planned - which would've been a corner

Apparently the PK was given, which is why the ref made the VAR sign after reviewing the footage.

from the goal rush I was watching, it showed the ref giving a pk and then it getting overturned

 

[hatterson]

Yea based on the official game cast, the referee gave a penalty live and VAR (correctly) sent him to the monitor to overturn it.

I think the issue was that the referee barely points to the spot live so basically no one knew he had given it live.

 

[JPBolts]

That’s so dumb.

yep, it happens quite frequently.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

huh, whaddya know.

Any ref who gives that as a pen live should be put out to pasture

Anyway, big 3 points. rare win at home, good resilience playing a full 45 down to 10. Prevented Brighton from really creating much.

Badiashile MOTM for me.

Slowly climbing the table, moved from 10th to 10th.

Agree about Badiashile, he was great.

 

[hatterson]

Just watching the review and the VAR pen award was atrocious.

It’s not that it’s a stonewall non-pen, but it’s very much not a clear and obvious error for a ref with a clear view of it live to say it’s not a pen.

Wow Tottenham up.

 

[hatterson]

City with hilariously bad defending on the break and spurs lead.

 

[bluesfan94]

I thought Doku was supposed to be pacy

He's enough!!!!!

 

[Blender]

That was a brilliant counter. Manchester City had forwards back trying to defend and got shredded.

From the angle, I can see how he thought it hit arm.

 

[hatterson]

OG! Son just can’t stop scoring

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Sonny......lol

 

[Blender]

Just like that 1-1 also from Son.

 

[bluesfan94]

He's enough!!!!!

He heard you say he should be starting for city.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

Well done +1

 

[hatterson]

Yea live it looked iffy and obviously having the Brighton players go nuts about it helps convince the ref. It’s also a call the ref can feel free to make without much consequence since he knows if he’s wrong VAR will fix it for him.

Technically the better call would have been no pen and corner since that was if you’re wrong it goes to a pen and if you’re right the appropriate corner is awarded. Whereas calling it a pen live means that an overturn results in the weird situation there it’s a drop ball to Chelsea despite obviously deserving to be a corner.

 

[These Are The Days]

The f***in Reds wanna kill me boys

 

[hatterson]

Btw I do think the Liverpool winner was a foul, but I also don’t think VAR should have initiated a review since I don’t think it’s a clear and obvious error to call it a routine bump of guys jumping for the ball in the box.

 

[These Are The Days]

Also, I don't want to hear another word against Klopp. This was never an issue with him as much as FSG has no idea how to run a club that needs to replace players sometimes.

I agree. Unless that foul is called 100% of the time, you can't VAR that, I don't think

Is Haaland past his prime?
