VAR 2023-24

[sillytuna]

First game, 96th minute, here we go again.

Can someone please explain why the referee wasn't even asked to look?

 

[Oh When the Wolves]

Apology week one hahahaha.

You honestly cannot make it up!

What’s the logic in that decision!

Disgraceful

Did you not see the home team shirts?

 

[Bostin]

The only thing I can think of is that the ball had already been played. But it’s a foul 100%

 

[Perton Wolf]

Embarrassingly incompetent, as clear a foul as you'll ever see.

You can see why people raise theories of corruption after **** like that.

 

[Tring Wolf]

It’s an awful decision. Already had 3 texts from neutral fans all saying they can’t believe it wasn’t a penalty.

 

[Parkfieldswolf]

First game of the season and we’ve been ****ed over by VAR already. Absolute ****ing ****s

 

[StaffordWolf]

That decision was absolutely ridiculous, what the ****. Update the opening post every time we get one of these decisions.

 

[WolvesAndCows]

It was a penalty, although I remember Sa did the same at Leeds, first game of last season and got away with it.

 

[Monketron]

VAR official just a coward.

 

[thommo1984]

Compare that to Brentford’s VAR check yesterday hahahahahah.

Absolute ****ing joke.

 

[Stafford]

No point doing this to ourselves.

We know how it goes.

 

[Super NES]

Absolute joke decision - and to top it off our manger gets booked for the refs bottling it as usual when the bigger clubs play at home.

 

[I'm the Wanderer]

We're 0-1

 

[Jericho]

The Premier League is back baby.
Old Trafford
Last minute
Sasa could have been chokeslammed, that was never being given

 

[Redhillwolf]

Blatant corruption and laughable how much so these days!!! In what world is that not a foul?! Proud of all of them tonight apart from Sarabia who was shocking!

 

[NavyWolf]

OT, United winning after a truly awful display, hanging on for a 1 nil win, last min, goalkeeper poleaxes the opposition player, of course we aint getting the pen awarded by the ref who bottled it(was also shocking all game)! VAR is there for that reason, doesn't even get him to take a look at it.
Criminal, ****ing criminal. Corruption only word for it.

 

[glorybox]

Imagine that at the other end. Points straight to the spot. Let VAR consider overturn.

 

[RichB]

If that was at the other end of the field…. Would have been a Pen every day of the week

 

[wolfgar]

VAR Checking club badge as usual. Great to have football back. Almost certainly thats given at the other end.

 

[Fifty Niner]

A new season and the same old VAR controversies. How can they get away with this stuff year on year.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

The jokers in Fawlty Towers were their usual incompetent selves, I wonder whether it would have been a different outcome if it was at the other end? I think we all know the answer to that.

 

[Alex Rae The Substitute]

Every single person that has text me tonight that have been watching the match, including Man U fans and neutrals, have said they can’t see how it’s not been given as a pen.

Can’t wait to see what excuse they come out with. Reckon it’s going to be as good as the one against us in the cup against Liverpool.

 

[Wonder Boyo]

 

[Monk]

Was a pen but if we've put our chances away wouldn't have been an issue - but cheated yet again

 

[WolvesAndCows]

Can't remember such a more frustrating game, and that decision sums it up

 

[Horsham Wolf]

Keeping a record of this.
Game 1. Disallowed penalty which if scored result would have been 1-1. Wolves could now be on 1 point instead of 0.

 

[wallace]

We battered them and should have been comfortable enough to not have to rely on a penalty in the last minute but managed to miss everything but how can that not be a penalty, var and referee bottled it.

Every second of every day of the week.

 

[tamwolf]

It was that blatant I didn't even consider that the ref wouldn't be sent to look at it.

 

[GateWolf]

Just been flicking through Twitter and fans off every club in the Premier say the same thing it was a penalty and the games corrupt

 

[Scallywolf]

So the goalkeeper completely misses the ball and poleaxes our striker in the six yard box.

Criminal that the referee wasn’t even asked to review the monitor and just a criminal decision.

 

[Snarlingwolf]

******** disgustingly corrupt decision.

Not even to ask the ref to go to the monitor was criminal by the VAR official.

 

[Willywolf]

New season, same old VAR

 

[old wittonian]

Absolute joke decision - and to top it off our manger gets booked for the refs bottling it as usual when the bigger clubs play at home.

They didn't bottle it. They made the wrong ****ing appalling decision.

 

[MrwulfAndrew]

Sick to death with these corrupt ****s!

 

[Longford Wolf]

Different season, same cheating ****ers

 

[Howler]

If that was at the other end of the field…. Would have been a Pen every day of the week

That's really my biggest issue with VAR, it's simply a match managing/fixing tool.

I personally don't mind keepers getting away with getting it wrong (Sa has on many times) when there is no intent, Onana is clearly looking at the ball and the ball isn't going anywhere near Sasa so I am OK with the referee letting it go....but you damn well know up the other end if United needed a goal VAR is overruling the referees call instantly.

 

[Jawwfc]

Sky sports wouldn't have shut up about it if it was the other way round....
