GWT: PL Matchweek 33

[Peen]

see what azpilicueta is saying there about being pulled but you make your own mess there by having poor body position in the first place

can’t put the ref in a position where they have to make a call

 

[bluesfan94]

Hilarious that penalty was given.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

fixed

 

[Live in the Now]

Going to be memes about him making that one.

 

[bleedblue1223]

Wait, how was that not overturned?

 

[robertmac43]

Very clearly not a penalty.

He literally holds him the entire way...

 

[Live in the Now]

Wait, how was that not overturned?

I feel like the weight of other poor decisions was a factor there.

 

[hatterson]

I understand Moss giving it live because he's totally blocked off, but VAR not overturning it is disgraceful and whoever if VAR tonight should be immediately fired.

It’s very difficult for me to remain a fan of this sport when I watch something like this. That was an absolute embarrassment to the teams, officials, the league, and entire sport of football.

Giving a penalty for that and after review not overturning the decision is unforgivable. I’m not gonna be giving this sport too many more opportunities tbh. Losing interest. And it’s all because of the officiating/VAR.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Chelsea you had one job.

Seems rather dramatic after a call like that lol

It was an absolute joke of a call and it's exactly what VAR is supposed to correct.

There's literally no point in having VAR if they're not going to overturn those.

Okay. If you don't mind me asking, what sport do you follow where the officiating is never an issue?

Right. Out of all the penalty and VAR screwups it was this, THIS one that is making you question the sport.

The amount of salt here is hilarious.

Chelsea should have had one, more likely two players sent off. Yes the call was embarrassing but please

 

[robertmac43]

Also wow Everton draws it in the 96th. That goal could be huge for them. They have a tougher schedule coming up so they really needed that extra point of separation.

I mean, I agree it was a terrible call, but there was contact before the grab by Saka. If Moss thought the penalty started with that contact, then fine. Like I said, hilarious that that's given, especially considering some of the calls Arsenal hasn't gotten this year, but this is far from the only questionable penalty given, both pre and post VAR.

Also, on balance, Chelsea got away with a lot. Mount and Sarr both could have easily been off.

 

[Live in the Now]

Lukaku and Werner with 8 league goals total this season. Absolutely crazy to see that.

No this was the WORST call EVER in the history of the sport. Let them cry.

Mount and Sarr both could have been easily sent off. That second Mount cleat stomp was especially brutal.

The pen call is on the weaker side but I think it is still valid.. Azpi should probably do better in the first place and he should also know better. There is no need to just hold on to Saka, put him in a tough spot.

Don't make Hatterson pull out the rule book!

Fair enough!

Xhaka always makes Kante his bitch. At the euros, in two FA Cup finals, twice last season and again today.

 

[VEGASKING]

This f***ing team. Lose 3 straight to middling teams and then beat Chelsea. Ronaldo hat trick incoming in the next game and back to where we were 3 hours ago.
