Overturning a decision based on inconclusive evidence sniffs of a conspiracy. Expect a lot of these against us this season.
They won't stop until we are in the bottom 3 and relegated.That’s a 2 point deduction sorted. Only about 8 more to go.
Honestly, **** the Premier League.
That shouldn’t be the case, but you can’t help think it.Overturning a decision based on inconclusive evidence sniffs of a conspiracy. Expect a lot of these against us this season.
I agree. Listening to fans of various teams, you'd think the whole league was against every team. I don't think referees are biased/corrupt etc, I think they're just capable of making shit decisions.I'm not having conspiracy theories about us and the PL.
If VAR has demonstrated anything over the last few years, it is that they don't have the first idea what they're doing.
It's beyond credibility that there is a concerted effort to pick on us.
It's incompetence, plain and simple.
That's the only image I've seen that makes him look like he might be onside. Justin's toenail could be playing him on.I BN is correct in the post match thread that this was the image they used (albeit cropped here) to determine the call, there is no way Mateta was onside.

For me, it’s more that I can’t see how they can accurately pinpoint the location of the various body parts, given the angle they’re using.That's the only image I've seen that makes him look like he might be onside. Justin's toenail could be playing him on.
Yep. No way they can say anything for certain from that picture. Got to go with the original decision, the lino was in a much better position to see it than the camera.For me, it’s more that I can’t see how they can accurately pinpoint the location of the various body parts, given the angle they’re using.
I drew a line on top of the pecked one that is shown on the original photo coming from JJ's foot, I then transposed the line to Mateta. Offside easily, knee, head or hand.That's the only image I've seen that makes him look like he might be onside. Justin's toenail could be playing him on.
VAR was always sold as intervening when there was a ‘Clear and Obvious Error’.
That’s the problem, though, in this instance. It doesn’t look like they can draw a line that accurately demonstrates whether it is or isn’t.They've never said that for offsides. It either is or it isn't. Unless it's about whether someone is interfering with play or not.
