[bocadillo]

Scored 0-1

Again, what's the point of VAR? Another horrendous decision

 

[parafox]

Absolutely ludicrous penalty decision

 

[Micky]

We deserve it, we've been very poor.

 

[Blaarev]

Should have been a freekick to Vestergaard

 

[FryattFox]

That's an awful decision. ****ing furious.

 

[Graz]

I'm out so not watching the game (are you all just on the dodgy streams these days?) but even Sky text commentary suggests that's a harsh decision.

FFS.

 

[camberwell fox]

**** me, he was mugged.

 

[Jeff]

Does anyone know why Luke Thomas isn't in the squad?

Because we're only allowed to have nine on the bench.

 

[Matt_B]

We deserve it, we've been very poor.

Absolutely nonsense. Aside from the fact that rules don't change based on performance, we haven't been very poor.

 

[M17TT C]

Bit of a shit peno decision, especially when you consider what was overturned yesterday.

Still though, we have been our recent passive shit selves and it had been coming to be honest.

 

[Miles Away]

We deserve to be losing but that decision is absolutely appalling.

 

[LoopisDeLupis]

Get Maddison off at half time. Iheanacho instead please.

 

[camberwell fox]

Christ, we need to wake up

 

[Miles Away]

Would you have one of their side in our team ahead of a City player? Not me.

I don't care what the odds are, we should be beating Brighton.

Several based on this.

 

[Matt_B]

We deserve to be losing but that decision is absolutely appalling.

Why do we deserve to be losing? They've not looked any more dangerous than we have.

 

[MerseyFox]

Ref and VAR are idiots - clear foul. I expect a statement saying they got it wrong tomorrow

 

[Miles Away]

Why do we deserve to be losing? They've not looked any more dangerous than we have.

That’s just plainly wrong.

 

[foxybru]

We deserve to be losing but that decision is absolutely appalling.

It's an absolute ****ing disgrace

 

[Brown Nose]

The ref gave the penalty following a conversation with his linesman. The VAR is only supposed to intervene if he thinks the ref has made a clear and obvious error. On repeated viewings, I'm not sure it is or isn't a foul on Vestergaard. It's definitely not obvious.

Therefore, under the rules, there is no reason to review. The VAR didn't see a reason to make the ref review. If the ref hadn't given the penalty, I bet the foul would have been given on any review.
