Ulfotto 632 Posted May 1, 2022 Watching motd last night can someone explain how the Williams kick in the face was different to the Gibson vs Brentford penalty that was given against us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Hairy 3,772 Posted May 1, 2022 There wasn't much in it, but then I didn't think the Brentford one was a pen either. Williams is ducking down, ref got that one right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its the things that VAR doesn't even bother checking because they've decided not to today, or pretending its checked. I'm at peace, got a season without it.

Pyro Pete 1,897 Posted May 1, 2022 VAR is administered by the same incompetent officials that referee games. So inevitably it will be just as inconsistent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ulfotto 632 Posted May 1, 2022 (edited) Both times the ball has gone defender then makes contact with the man. It is far more blatant in the Williams case than the Gibson. Yes,yes I know we haven’t been good enough but that decision was an awful one at an awful time and an obvious example how literally nothing has gone Our way this year.

FCC 76 Posted May 2, 2022 I would think, over a season they should even out. 1 or 2 would be within that sort of range - when you are getting 4 or 6 for or against you, it is hard to not sense a bias. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
