Every club has them to be fair, no exceptions. He could be lot worse, general banter is perfectly fine.

Banter is ripping the piss out of one another in a good natured way.. that's nothing like what he does

Both Chelsea and United starting 11s tonight are awful for teams of such normal high standards

Its reflected in the the game so far also.

This is it

Absolute filth. VAR or no VAR.

marklazarcovic

If the Chelsea striker stayed down he was a gonner Maguire

yourdeadwright

AWB best right back in the league all over the place there

The VAR comedy roadshow continues.

2 decent chances for Chelsea not taken. One because of a bad pass and the other a poor finish.

Poor game overall so far.

Hard to see anything other than a kick in the bollocks there to be honest.

And you ignore what you want to ignore. Even the United thread has fans saying he's lucky. He kicked out, no need for it.

One of the worst non red card calls that I’ve ever seen and they have the technology to look at it from multiple angles and yet they still get it wrong! :rolleyes:

United benefitting from an Anthony Taylor masterclass.

Similar to the Son red I think.

Have we done VARchester yet?

See it's a combination of VAR and Manchester. Very clever,.

ManchestVAR?

Quazzie

Can VAR not overturn a simulation yellow if its outside the box?

Thought I heard Gary Nevillle say that but I could be wrong.

eigrod

Chelsea getting a lot of joy down their left. Final ball and finishing has been poor though.

Cypher_sounds

Anthonyyyyy!!

Class header.

TitianGerm

Good time to get one there.

j8wk2feszrnpao

Great cross and header.
Only real bit of quality so far.

MD1990

If Maguire is not english he is sent off.

Incredible decision.

Some header from Martial reminded me of Dwight Yorke

Kiith

Cracking cross and header.

Surely that is a red for Maguire though. Son's was a bit more obvious, but that looks like an intentional kick to the sack. Fair enough if the ref missed it, but it looks pretty clear on the VAR.

yourdeadwright

Same ref that sent Son off,
Boggles the mind how inconsistent they are

Father Hernandez

Strange that it went to VAR and they never let the ref take a look at it too.

Wonder where the line is with Maguire's kick out and with Son's?

Both very similar.

murpho999

VAR is good in princiiple but applied inconsistently.

Maguire should be off there, simple as that.

eigrod

Is retrospective action gone now that VAR is here?

Kiith

Another mad call there.

Nice to finally get some of that LiVARpool action

Varchester Utd

Cypher_sounds

Gary Neville’s “there” has me cringing.

By the time he’s finished saying the word 10 things have happened.

Chelsea getting ****ed over here. Fred pushed first there.

Completely ignored the Fred push. They are making it up as they go along.

Utopia Parkway

Goal ruled out for a push even though Fred actually pushed the Chelsea player first.

Same fella would be crying then if roles were reversed. Solid bit of refereeing there, Fred pushes The Chelsea player into Williams and he gives a free out.

Getting tasty.

This is some farce.

Wow VAR is rigged tonight

Haha, remind me where the referee is from again.

What's the official line on that handball rule. I know that if the ball strikes the hand, for scorer or assister, then it gets ruled out. But I wonder are the referees meant to blow the whistle if they see any attacking handball and just stop the game or are they meant to let VAR overrule the accidental handball, only if a goal is scored cos the ball would be dead anyways?

The referee blew there for an accidental handball but how was he to know that the next attack was to result in a goal as he blew before the attack finished. The rule is meant to rule out accidental handball by goalscorers or assisters, not all accidental handballs I thought?

I can't remember a situation like this one before. There could have been one, I just don't remember one right now. Usually it is goals being ruled out after they have been scored.

Ref and VAR ref are both from the same place.
