Football season 2020/2021

Sad thing is United would still have had trouble scoring :')

Well, we'd have scored one then defended that goal!

That goal would have been the 92nd minute penalty.

If we're being completely honest, if we got 1-0 up against Southampton and they got the red card we would have pulled back to defend our lead and they would probably have scored a 1-1 goal in second half.

Yeah I couldn't help thinking back to last year when Watford went down to 10 men against Arsenal and we valiantly grinded a 1-0 win.

Another solid point away from home for the blades. Would say it was a fair result both teams had chances to win it.

Hope you guys stay up, decent side and anything to stick it to the Wednesday fans.

What's so funny about Klopp is that his losing persona is like the Hyde to his banter Jekyll. He turns into a guy who practices fist pumps by punching walls.

[Nerph-]

Watching United, can someone explain why VAR gave the first penalty?

[DrMcNinja]

Xhaka is the prime example of why a team vote is a bad way to choose your captain.

[Henx]

Can't understand that VAR decision on Sokratis' goal. A 50/50 chance the least and then to overturn it on VAR is just pathetic. If the referee would have made the same decision in-game I guess it wouldn't feel as bad but to overturn that on VAR, wtf. It's like they are searching for reasons to overturn the calls on the pitch and that is not the point of VAR, only to change clear mistakes on the pitch.

I can. The FA and referees will do everything in their power to make VAR look as shit as possible so they can use it as a scapegoat and get rid of it. Laughable really cause it only makes you look like fools to the rest of the world.

Clubs and players should be raiding the FA until they properly implement it like fucking Spain. It's about time these shit, egoistical refs got what they deserved instead of being protected.

Yeah, as I regularly watch all of Bayern's game I rarely see a bad use of it. Sometimes it has felt like it hasn't intervened enough but I rather have it that way than wondering if every goal will count because there might be something there.

Same reason as I mentioned; VAR is implemented poorly, the people who operate it are clowns and the refs in the Prem are donkeys.

[Zantera]

I feel like VAR is becoming a joke honestly. Feels like a better solution would be to have a monitor available at the sideline and IF a key moment like penalty or red card happens and the referee didn't have a good angle, he could go out and get to see the replay. I feel like the issue with VAR and rewatching the replay 20 times from 3 different angles is that eventually, when you roll the clip enough times you can convince yourself of anything.

[Butler to Baby Sloths]

Krul put in a shift and a half today, shame about the line in front of him being so damn leaky :/

[durrtygoodz]

Josh Kroenke at the match today. Surely it's about to all kick off at Arsenal? Xhaka telling the fans to fuck off when he's being booed for walking slowly off the pitch at 2-2. Poisonous atmosphere against Emery. Performances getting worse not better. Supporters more divided over the Ozil situation than Brexit. Disaster at Arsenal right now.

Having a monitor on the sideline is how they do it in Belgium at least, and I think Germany too? Either way I agree, seems like a better solution then having a VAR room. The first penalty was in no way a penalty whatsoever. I was actually glad Krul saved it because it felt wrong.

[Lollis]

Wrong or not, it should have been retaken anyway because Krul was clearly off his line before the ball was kicked.

Ah, didn’t see that, nor did the Belgian commentary say anything about it.

I would have loved to see the comments about this if it had been Mané or Salah.
