Trezeguet - our first neither footed player

That made me laugh, very good.

Trezeguet both looks, and plays, like a chubby teenage girl.

He is absolutely shit, easily the biggest waste of money last summer.

Confirmed that the penalty was the wrong decision

Already knew all that, but am comforted to know that an organization with no interest in getting things right can see what every viewer with a pair of eyes (apart from their appointed officials) can. Fuckwits.

Not just us there was an error in all 3 games with VAR , what a complete joke

In my view, sitting in a pub, I relaxed on replay as it was obviously not a penalty. That it was given was understandable but then not overruled by VAR? Ridiculous.

Well that was exactly what I feared it would be.  When the 2nd went in I just got ready and went to the 6.30am spin class at my gym - absolutely no point in hanging on for the comeback.

As has been said, did well for 20 mins, appalling refereeing decision that VAR inexplicably allowed (anyone seriously think had it been the other way the decision would have stood?)and then just brain dead football on half time.  If they wont put a shift in (Yes i'm looking at you Tyrone Mings) then why the fuck should I.  Spin's good for getting frustration out I find.

How is it that they take half a fucking hour on some decisions, but on the clearest non penalty I've ever seen, they confirm the ref's decision in 10 seconds?  My Man U supporting mate who I was watching the game with, was worried the Man U player was going to get sent off for raking his foot down our player's ankle.  He burst out laughing when the penalty was given.

Quite. Imagine being a player who's given his all up to that point. Who's done well and given us the best opportunities. Then two people decide it's a fucking penalty. It would be like a knife to the heart.

They should be suspended or removed from senior duty until a full investigation has happened and the result been given to both sides.

If they didn't remove Kevin Friend after that Palace abomination then they'll do nothing to these clowns.

3 nil flattered us.

Mings, Mcginn and Grealish all pathetic.

Had it with Smith; 2 points from 30.
2 points from 30?!! Fucking hell! How are they still in a job!!?
I guess the one saving grace is that the season ticket holders got some of  their money back and didn’t have to sit there watching that drivel?
I've had no money back.I was told that they would be in touch. Heard nothing since.

So MOTD says the "Premier League Match Centre"  confirmed three wrong penalty calls just in tonight's games.  They can see it.  We can see it.  Why can't the VARs, with all that modern technology can offer in terms of angles and viewpoints,  see it?  It smacks at the least of lack of integrity and cronyism, At worst it smacks of corruption.  It really does make you wonder what the point is.

Corruption, that's an interesting word. I must confess, since our return to the top flight, I think this is the first season I have smelled genuine corruption. The first ten games or so stank.

I have heard the post match interview. Smith said nothing except to complain about the penalty decision. He said nothing about what went wrong or what he is going to do to put it right. He has given up hope.

I’ve got all of my money back and won’t be spending a brass ha’penny of it on watching Villa next season.

Comments from Football 365 on the "penalty"



4) On that penalty: What was Ezri Konsa supposed to do? Fernandes’ attempt at a roulette failed and it was he who initiated the contact. Konsa barely moved and, yes, on the basis that Fernandes was very much the aggressor, he was fortunate not to be booked himself. Or worse.

5) …and isn’t the pay-off for putting up with VAR’s dull idiosyncrasies meant to be protection from this kind of idiocy?

It was obviously an error, it should obviously have been overturned, and so the failure to intervene is just another blunder from a system which really doesn’t seem fit for purpose and, at the moment, appears overly-concerned with protecting the reputation of an under-talented group of referees.

Some of them are truly atrocious, but they’re now entitled to protection from themselves.

The only person fatter than McGinn on the pitch was the ref, surely they should be fitter than that.
