It was diabolical they didnt ahve a pen in my eyes. We would be going mental if that happened to us.

Martinez got away with one there. Hopefully he will learn on that. He looks a lil rusty but im sure he will.be unbelievable when he is up to speed again

I'll say this about you. You're fair to every club except one.

the offsides are factual - it's annoying but it's fair.
The decisions that are still referees opinions need working on - however, the handball one yesterday was spot on. It was a handball.

I actually found it quite impressive that the officials found a definite penalty when almost everyone had no idea it had happened. A very pleasant surprise

Well this is a pointless comment when everyone knows full well why it wasn't a pen. You're being purposely obtuse by the looks of it.

The thing with the Newcastle penalty is you know sometime this season the same will happen to us with it being much closer than their offside and it will be disallowed as well. And you can probably have a good punt at guessing the team we'll be playing. That is the problem with VAR in a nutshell

Who said it was an error!
Lino might have said at the time "that was close, probably off but let it run, then we can check".

He almost certainly did and that is literally what they're told to do in tight calls. To then moan that it wasn't 'clear and obvious' is ignoring how the officials are operating. Look at the freeze frame with the lines and pay attention to the lines in the grass and it's clear that he was 5-6 niches offside, it was nothing like some of the tight calls from last season.

As for our penalty, anyone who doesn't see that as a clear handball just doesn't know the laws of the game, the controversy there is that the ref was looking straight at it and didn't spot it, that was the definition of a clear and obvious error.

And despite what Brucey said, there were loads of shouts of handball from the crowd, we could see it from where we were sat in the Trinity.

I like Brucey's attempted defence of it. He raised his leg so he had to raise his arm as well.  What is he, a fucking puppet?!

It was desperate.

You can tell he just didn't have the bollocks to say "We wasn't good enough today"

My lad said it was handball. I wasn’t sure. There were plenty of shouts for sure, then the game stopped and he said to me “told you so, this is handball”.

It was easily missed on the first angle on the TV because you just couldn't tell where it hit him so I can forgive people in the ground missing it but the ref was in a perfect position for it and I can't work out what he was thinking to not blow up immediately.

Bruce trying to argue against it was just sad really but this is a guy who wasn't prepared for the wet type of rain so he's not really all there.

Not sure why people are saying the offside wasn't clear and obvious. Wilson's foot was in different coloured grass to Konsa and Mings. The lines made it look closer than it was. It was definitely offside, and the officials would have been failing to uphold the law had they ignored it.

Plus, Wilson was a twat all game so ha ha ha ha.

Watched the goals in the Roma game and to think I've been complaining about VAR over here. For a minute I thought Serie A didn't celebrate goals anymore or his new teammates just hated Tammy, but it was actually VAR taking about 2 minutes to make a decision! Totally killed the atmosphere and goal celebrations.
