Good booking to take by Cullen.

So 9 mins added on. Where the 7 came from I have no idea.

Final whistle
Thanks Ref for that smile you gave when you were asked to look at the screen

Should have won that....as I predicted! Cannot legislate for bent var

IPAclaret · Post by **IPAclaret** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 9:43 pm

Clear and obvious handball - nope

Was Foster stupid elbowing him - yes - BUT he was being fouled first and the replays clearly show that !!!

I fcuking give up

But, we have played well against a Forest side who've just beaten Chelsea

Great point , we're off and running

JimmyRobbo · Post by **JimmyRobbo** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 9:43 pm

A good point. Grereat to get started. Could easily have won it.

Well played lads. Makes me more optimistic than I have been.

claret2018 · Post by **claret2018** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 9:44 pm

Probably a fair result.

VAR clearly not working though is it

Is he being bought off or what?

martin_p · Post by **martin_p** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 9:44 pm

We’ve been proper robbed. Absolutely no chance that was a clear and obvious error as demonstrated by the number of opposition fans and pundits who thought it was a good goal

Funny how theirs wasn’t a handball

I’m all for a good conspiracy theory but there was no evidence it even hit Awoniyis hand/arm.

100% improvement so that’s good. Charlie just saved you £30m VK!

Blows my mind. A still is not representative at all of the dynamic nature of a PL footy match at full pace.

I think they should only be allowed to look at incidents at full speed, but as many times as they like. Intent looks very different when its slowed right down

Colburn_Claret · Post by **Colburn_Claret** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 9:45 pm

I'd have taken that before kickoff, but it should have been a win, but for a biased VAR.
We're not poor at all, just naive, and it's understandable with all the new, young players, but once they cut out the errors, we'll have an excellent team.
Foster is going to be a big miss. I hope Salford counts as one of the three.

Need to bring hotspot from cricket in, absolutely no evidence what so ever that it touched his arm at all.

Anyone else think Rob Jones looks like Prison Warder Norton from the Shawshank Redemption? Certainly got the same attitude.

burnleymik · Post by **burnleymik** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 9:45 pm

Bias officiating, without a doubt. Really really poor.

The lads did very well. Koleosho had an amazing first half. Taylor did well. We certainly looked better second half. Berge looked good higher up the pitch. Some bright moments fro Tresor.

I think it all looks promising.

You're not allowed to say that, you're a conspiracy theorist.
Yknow just like Man United always getting Fergie Time or favourable calls at Old Trafford is just baseless conspiracies.
It's a coincidence.
Every time it happens it's a coincidence. Always.
They're just really that incompetent, honest, yet they're also the best there is, because apparently, football is the most uniquely difficult sport in the world to officiate. If anything they need paying more for the challenges of the job.

Clovius Boofus · Post by **Clovius Boofus** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 9:46 pm

I won't hold my breath, but we can hope they all equal out by the end of the season, yet there's no doubt that VAR is killing the game as a spectator sport. Might as well take up watching chess if you want something precise and clinical. Goal-line tech yes, but ditch the rest.

Superjohnnyfrancis · Post by **Superjohnnyfrancis** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 9:46 pm

This ref is definitely being bought off I’m convinced of it. Needs a PI investigating him.

tarkys_ears · Post by **tarkys_ears** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 9:46 pm

Be looking forward to him starting

ksrclaret · Post by **ksrclaret** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 9:46 pm

Only pure corruption can explain that tonight

A professional, no matter how thick, can’t possibly think that to be deliberate handball

Goal should have stood. Foster right to be sent off. If the goal had of stood, not sure the Foster incident happens!?

Really hate this league, I wish we could just win the Championship and stay in it.

I don’t give a **** what the ones on here who like to feel intellectually superior by daring to suggest that bias in refereeing decisions/VAR is tin foil hat stuff, it stinks and it is obvious.

I’ll remember feeling like this if we get relegated, as I truly just don’t enjoy myself as much. It’s absolute crap. This isn’t an emotional rant either, I’m sat very chilled drinking a brew just stating my honest feelings. Roll on relegation, should it occur.

THEWELLERNUT70 · Post by **THEWELLERNUT70** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 9:48 pm

About the only ones who think it was deliberate handball are a couple of p!llocks on here who always seem to like to have an "alternate" view or just try to get a rise

TPClaret · Post by **TPClaret** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 9:48 pm

Lots of positives to take from the game. Much more like it against the teams we will be fighting against. Should have won it.

Foshiznik · Post by **Foshiznik** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 9:48 pm

Neither were handballs and it was a red card imo

So pleased for Charlie after waiting in the wings so long, we looked so much better balanced with him in there. Give him time to build understanding with the wingers and we'll be sorted on that side

I keep saying it “ boys club” once var gets him to look why didn’t Jones have the balls to say “no it’s not deliberate hand ball, the goal stands”. It’s because they stick together.

I agree but why are the two handballs different decisions then? That's the frustrating thing.
