Today's Games 2022-23.

[thommo1984]

Watching it now on MOTD. Absolutely disgraceful. Brighton have been robbed blind.

Would say it’s unbelievable but we’re way past that now.

VAR is a total stain on the game.

 

[Sussex Wolf]

No, I was wrong, that was a goal too. So 2 goals and 2 pens they should have had. I mean the first one the lino is actually patting his shoulder above the T-shirt line which is supposed to be handball. Incredible.

4 apologies needed from one game, who says VAR isn't fit for purpose (depending on what you think it's purpose is).

That game was a classic example of the officials favouring the Sky Six against any potential interlopers. Disgraceful decisions.

 

[Skrilla]

Watching MOTD, wow Brighton were completely robbed. VAR is a complete and utter corrupt disgrace.

 

[SingYourHeartsOut]

That game was a classic example of the officials favouring the Sky Six against any potential interlopers. Disgraceful decisions.

I always lean towards simple incompetence, especially when told it's Salisbury, but that game does make you wonder, we've had some bad ones, but two goals disallowed for handball that haven't hit the handball area and two blatant penalties in one game is going it a bit!

 

[tamwolf]

I can't work out how Brentford got that penalty through VAR, yet Brighton didn't get the ref called over to the monitor for either of theirs.

At least its good to know its not just us.

 

[Asthmatic Wolf]

Watching the Brentford game there is no way in hell we get either of those penalties.

We can all be quick to criticise the team but with the appropriate decisions we would have been home and hosed by now.

 

[thommo1984]

That Ellis Simms lad looks absolutely atrocious. A striker that can’t even kick the ball properly.

 

[Wall heath Wanderer]

Why is motd advertising the egg chasing. Could have squeezed in an extra var screw up.

Cannot even really say they were subjective and debatable as the incidents seemed so clear cut .

 

[The Wolf In The North]

I know you should never judge from highlights, but... bloody hell. Leicester look wrecked.

 

[thommo1984]

I know you should never judge from highlights, but... bloody hell. Leicester look wrecked.

xG of 0.6 in a must-win home game against Bournemouth doesn’t bode well for them!

 

[The Wolf In The North]

Shelvey and Gibbs-White playing like Sunday morning dads who rolled in bladdered at 4am and still wearing the boxers they ****ed themselves in, you love to see it.

 

[ombyman]

Watching MOTD, wow Brighton were completely robbed. VAR is a complete and utter corrupt disgrace.

I came here to say the same. The Welbeck disallowed goal is ridiculous, absolutely outrageous

 

[ombyman]

The Spurs manager looks like an ork from Lord of the Rings

 

[clivewolves]

I just caught up with the Spurs-Brighton highlights. I don't know what Shearer is going on about. The Mitoma goal should have stood. It was a clear and obvious error by the linesman. I don't blame the linesman. In real time it's a tough call. But VAR should have changed the decision. Unless they've changed the handball law again.

If not already mentioned Mitoma was pushed as well which was the only reason the ball hit him where it did rather than full on his chest.

 

[wolfslair]

Easy for Man U really .

Be a strange appointment.

Must be well liked despite being sacked at Leeds .

Leicester City closing in on Jesse Marsch as new manager

Exclusive: American was sacked by Leeds United in February but has impressed in talks as club battles relegation

www.telegraph.co.uk

Cheap option, has a good rep from his time in Germany and has a pull in the American market that is still relatively cheap and growing deeper in terms of talent.

It works for either rebuild they need to do in the prem or championship as it won’t get much of a war chest from the sounds of things coming from my Leicester supporting mates.

 

[arctic rime]

The VAR at Spurs today needs a P45 too.

That weak fraud Salisbury

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

BrentFord with an extremely soft pen against top 4 chasing Newcastle

Brighton denied 2 goals and a pen chasing top 4

System is ****ed

 

[Norman Bell]

Well done to Alan Shearer and Danny Murphy on Match of the Day for consistently calling out the appalling standard of both the on field officials and VAR. Especially well done to Mr Murphy for using the term ' incompetent ! ".

 

[Ned]

Just seen the Brighton screw job.

That performance from the officials can only be corrupt. It isn’t incompetent because you simply can’t look at those decisions and go against Brighton with every single one unless you are looking to.

 

[theweave]

Super 6 bias at the very least

 

[JadeWolf]

Shearer and Murphy are the best two pundits on there in my opinion, they’re very fair and usually very honest.

Agreed , I’ve said it for ages

 

[Wednesbury Wolf]

Whatever happens in the Leeds v Palace game we're going down a place, a draw would be preferable but Palace will still go above us because of our inability to score goals.

 

[S G Wolves]

My God just seen the Brighton VAR farce. Shocking decisions. How is that not a pen. Stonewall blatant as can be. Atrocious decisions. Both the ref and VAR official need to be banned for at least this season.

Brighton fans must be livid and rightly so.

 

[SA Wolf]

We've scored more than Everton and the same number as Palace, Forest and Saints. We're rampant!

Will say without VAR the penalties or goals still would have not been given even thought the Mitoma foul looked clear cut at first look.

Would people have accepted that more if it was just down to on pitch human error ?

 

[peter&thewolf]

Danny Murphy said we were playing 442 with Nunes on the right, and 2 up front on MOTD and that it really suited us, I thought it was more like a 433

 

[Chisels_n_ommers]

Perhaps they should put an extra column in on the league tables.

Games Played...Goals For ...Goals Against....VAR Apologies....Points

Maybe. But it seems obvious now that the presence of VAR is causing referees to act differently in the moment.

Or really just being no better in terms iv their decisions making and consistency.

Next week all 4 decisions made will probably be totally different!

We could have a new song

VAR apologies Champions who wants to sing that !

 

[hollo]

Corbeanu on the bench again for arminia bielfield. Waste of a loan.

I think the issue is in some cases (not all) the referee isn’t giving the penalty because of VAR. He’s thinking “That looks like a penalty. I’ll not give it though, and if it’s blatant the VAR will bail me out”. I think with no VAR the referee gives the penalty to Brighton yesterday, ours at Newcastle etc.

You're going a bit too far saying we would have got ours

 

[northnorfolkwolf]

I like the look of being 12th but whatever the result of today's Leeds/Palace game we will drop a place, sob, sob.

 

[The Wolf In The North]

I have a feeling Leeds will absolutely smash Palace today, pull themselves out of shtuck. Palace still nowhere near safe.

 

[NJ Wolves]

I have a feeling Leeds will absolutely smash Palace today, pull themselves out of shtuck. Palace still nowhere near safe.

Maybe, but Palace has a very favorable run in. 7 of their final 9 games are against the bottom 8.

And then they have Fulham and Spurs.

 

[Black Country Wanderer]

I have a feeling Leeds will absolutely smash Palace today, pull themselves out of shtuck. Palace still nowhere near safe.

Hope they do it will leave the bottom 4 cut adrift at a very dangerous point in the season
