GWT: PL Matchday 2

[robertmac43]

VAR is going to be the most famous thing in this football season. We are going to hear it come up so many times

Hand pass to set up a winner, brings back some memories lol. Different outcomes though.

I wouldn’t have been pissed if it had just bounced off whomever’s arm hahahaha

 

[AB13]

It touched Skipps hand too! Wrong decision. VAR is the only thing that can help Sp*rs.

 

[Timeless Winter]

Sorry City, cant pay off the new VAR rules.

Weird thing to say considering every VAR review favors Spurs.

 

[Havre]

VAR my lord VAR.

Got to agree with the Spurs fan. By far our best player.

 

[hatterson]

I remember a goal that bounced off an arm in the CL last year, and you guys called me an idiot when the goal counted, now it happens again and it doesn't count. Pure bull****. VAR screws City again. Same as last time vs Spurs in CL.
Complete joke.

You do know the rule changed over the summer, right?

Last year that’s a good goal, this year it’s not.

Last year Llorente’s was a good goal, this year it wouldn’t be.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Sorry City, cant pay off the new VAR rules.

Did Liverpool with Adrian's penalty save?

The rules have changed. I think it's ridiculous personally, but you definitely weren't screwed.

 

[Cassano]

That's an excellent result for Spurs.

I know, it wasn't the same, this was pure incidental.

 

[Blender]

Not a deserved result here, but City didn't get it done when it counted.

Why Adrian wasn't penalised after penalty save to win Super Cup

UEFA isn't going to uphold that. Sorry.

 

[AB13]

Skipp pulls his arm! Should be a penalty if not a goal!!!!! His arm would not have been there if the w*nker did not foul him.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Tough break for the Brazilian Chicharito

 

[Live in the Now]

Every single instance of handball is disallowed in the buildup to a goal now. Something that can really only be done with VAR, but it's rather clownish as there was no attempt for handball at all.

 

[bluesfan94]

Spurs have looked not so great two games in a row yet have 4 points and a draw at city.

 

[booyakasha]

Jesus at the end taking it out on Oliver LOL

he has no control over the matter....it came from upstairs.
It's the NHL off side review of football.

 

[bluesfan94]

UEFA isn't going to uphold that. Sorry.

Basically they changed the rule before the game.

I don't even know what that explanation is supposed to mean. He was clearly off his line.

 

[Havre]

Spurs never looked good for last season either. I thought it was mainly because of the World Cup. Clearly isn’t.

This team might manage top 4. But unless something changes quickly I doubt it.

Once again Pochettino is completely outclassed.

 

[Live in the Now]

Basically they changed the rule before the game.

Yep. That was the first game with VAR so far in the European season I believe, so they decided not to use it for that.

I don't even know what that explanation is supposed to mean. He was clearly off his line.

Clear to the referee as it was happening? Clearly not. They aren't going to go back and make every game into the Women's World Cup with that clownshow.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

Clear to the referee as it was happening? Clearly not. They aren't going to go back and make every game into the Women's World Cup with that clownshow.

Then what the hell is the purpose of the rule? They are clearly looking at encroachment on pens, as evidenced by Rice last week.

All that said, it's a ridiculous rule.

 

[bluesfan94]

Yeah, which I get given the insanity of the rule.

 

[Live in the Now]

Then what the hell is the purpose of the rule? They are clearly looking at encroachment on ones, as evidenced by Rice last week.

All that said, it's a ridiculous rule.

The PL and Super Cup are run by two different groups. That's really all I can say. I think the keeper should be allowed to come off their line as soon as the player starts their run up, especially with all the hesitation that goes into that these days.

I think both that rule and the one today are absolutely stupid.

UEFA vs. The FA
