Another VAR farce

[ALP]

Never seen a penalty..........

Shocking

[Vegas Claret]

100% a penalty, stonewaller, you can't stand on someone's foot - do you know the rules ?

For a start there are no rules, they are Laws of the game. The step on the foot was certainly not deliberate, therefore no foul!

**** poor decision and I can well and truly understand why Wolves supporters are aggrieved, I would be if that was awarded against us.

If someone caught him like that in the street whilst shopping, I very much doubt
that he would even feel it, let alone go for artistic merit in a gymnastic move.

Absolutely, that should have been a yellow for simulation, or as Dyche calls it 'cheating', and that is what it was, and VAR bought it; God help the game if this is the future.

[Bin Ont Turf]

Ex Claret Kightly is not a fan either.....

There was a City player encroaching as well. He was in front of the Wolves player who clears and it is just because he got there first. It had no relevance to where the penalty was going.

VAR has got to go

[joey13]

Definitely a pen , as for Dyche banging on about diving being cheating , pity he doesn’t instruct his players to stop time wasting, which is cheating.

[ALP]

It's killing the game, Atkinson got it right first time, apart from not issuing a yellow to the cheat

Never seen a penalty, you would go nuts if that was awarded against us; I certainly would.

[Funkydrummer]

Traore is like sh!t off a shovel.

Cant do the "e acute", other than by copy and paste.

you can say it all you want but if that's anywhere else on the pitch it's a free kick therefore a penalty

[Bin Ont Turf]

Traore is like sh!t off a shovel.

I've noticed that this season he's actually added a bit of end product to his game as well.

(I don't know about this match because I'm not watching)

[Vegas Claret]

on another note, how good is the atmosphere !!!!

Yeah, it's white hot. That's what can happen when you play a bit of football.

[Quickenthetempo]

Penalty for me.

Standing on someone's foot will always get given.

The encroaching will only get punished if the person clearing it or scoring a rebound is encroaching.
Thick as mince footballers again.

As a sidenote- never let Sterling take a penalty for England.

you can use semantics all you want, you still don't know the laws of the game. A foul doesn't have to be deliberate to be given and never has been, the fact you think it does is rather comical

[Hopey1786]

Mental game so far

[joey13]

I go mental when any penalty is awarded against us

Always here to help é -

A free kick can only be awarded in the case of:
A direct free kick is awarded when a player commits any of the following in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force.

A running incident such as this, is certainly non of the above, and these would make this a deliberate act, and I do know the 'LAWS' not 'RULES' of the game, certainly more so than you seem to do.

Not as this game means a lot to me, but the whole of the game is being spoiled by these farcical decisions.

[ALP]

The encroaching will only get punished if the person clearing it or scoring a rebound is encroaching.

No problem with a retake for encroachment, but this was never a penalty.

Again, not sure why I'm so pee'd off about it, other than the dive, which was cheating.

Someone on twitter came up with a good point. The attacking player has to go down to get VAR to look at it.

They practice going down. I still think it was a pen though.

Something isn't right in the game, and as already said, if that was awarded against us I'd be furious. But it's Wolves v Citeh and I don't give a shite about either

You're a cricketer, what do you know ?

[Funkydrummer]

Watching this game in the last 30 minutes or so has been like watching the Clarets with their backs to the wall, defending like the clappers and passing anywhere.

Good to see.

[Funkydrummer]

Barmy game - title all over now.

Citeh need to spend some money !!!!!!!

Can't understand where Citeh have gone wrong, last season they were unstoppable, they don't look the same class now. Yup, they need to lash the cash now

[Vino blanco]

Vincent Kompany has left the building: City's defence is very poor.

[AlargeClaret]

Yeah, it's white hot. That's what can happen when you play a bit of football.

Or that’s what can happen if you spend 200m on a team of quality internationals which enable you to go toe to toe with 10 man Man City

They've lost Kompany thats the problem. In a tight game he held them together.

[Stayingup]

Correct.

[RammyClaret61]

Just seen this. Is there contact? Yes, is it a foul? No. The defender accidentally stood on his foot, the city player went down clutching his knee. Simulating he’d been chopped down.

[Ashingtonclaret46]

Very similar to the penalty given against Michael Keane when Everton played at Brighton a few weeks ago and which cost Everton in the end.
VAR was criticised by the PGMOL after the event who said that it should not have been given. It appears that nothing has been learned from that experience.

Martin Atkinson treated it as a natural coming together when players are running. One player's foot coming down fractionally before the other player's and no intent to commit a foul, therefore, because of his vast experience in the game, he gave a goal kick, however, VAR shoved its nose in and, in spite of the events at Brighton, decided that it should be a penalty.
