Re: Clarets vs Chelsea Match Thread
Say what you will about the "umpire's call" approach in cricket, at least it's clearly defined. I don't know if VAR can even overturn a yellow, clearly Assignon wasn't sure either. A first half red card is much more significant than a penalty (not that I'm on board with that either). We seem to have...

I'm usually one to think that refereeing evens itself out over a season but think we've been screwed this year. There's no way he's given that against a "big" club and pulling the card straight out.

Re: That s exactly why I hate the prem.
I don't usually rant and rave but we were robbed tonight, should have been finished two nil, or two one, and I struggle to see how VAR made that game better in any way. Foster was foolish, and that's going to hurt us, but even that was soft. The two handball decisions were bizarre.

He's been worked out. The defenders on him (often 2) push him inside where, owing to his left-footedness, he can only pass backwards.
