We can't 'take Szomics' because we're not significant enough to make that deal at the present time. The asking of the question is fairly arrogant in my view.

Sorry to hear your news. I hope sharing it here and reading all these warm replies from your Claret family is of some comfort.

The PGMOL literally apologised for the Berge handball and came out and said it was one of two decisions that was 100% incorrect this season

Is the PGMOL the benchmark now then? Personally I think they're a farce.

what_no_pies

Naivity is the prominent quality of this team and it all stems from Kompany himself. Today's experiment of playing Foster wide right, Brun wide left and Odobert central is a fools errand. You can swap all 3 of them to a position they're more accustomed to. Everton sit in formation now. We must get F...

I'm still amazed that some folk refuse to see Sander Berge upper arm movement towards the ball on the Forest one. It's subtle but it's there and helps the ball towards his path. It's a soft decision that could go either way without too much complaint from me - the fact that VAR gets involved and its...

The reason why VAR didn’t intervene is because it can’t overturn “fouls” outside the area

If an attacker fouls a defender in the build up to a goal they can go back and sort that out retrospectively. So VAR can change a decision (or lack thereof) if the roles are reversed. Make it make sense.

Just showed my wife the incident on my phone. She normally doesn't take even the slightest bit of interest but 'he just fell over' was her comment and even she was questioning how the officials can get that so badly wrong between them.

what_no_pies

I seem to recall corners that shouldn't have been corners being reviewed and goals chalked off. Why have VAR if its not going to sort that out?

what_no_pies

Stubbornness. He needs to swallow his pride. Vitinho would have been on the right if Assignon was available and therefore more than likely we wouldn't have even seen 8 minutes of Benson.

what_no_pies

It wasn't a foul and it wasn't a dive. He twisted himself into a knot and fell over.

Why didn't VAR intervene. The clearest and most obvious of the lot so far led directly to a goal and they didn't sort it out. Why not?

what_no_pies

Denied points by an unforgivable decision yet again.

The refereeing has been the pits this season.

what_no_pies

Over 11 corners @13/8 Bet 365. What's your logic there? Burnley had just 4 matches all season with over 11 corners. Wolves haven't had any and their games average something like half of that amount. Them trends suggest that's a dreadful bet at the price. Vitinho at RB could impact the volume at bot...

I was sitting watching them review the offside laughing to myself hysterically. It was like they were trying everything they could to get our player offside so they didn't have to revert the refs decision on the penalty.

He must have reffed that with his eyes closed. Absolutely woeful.

At one point Burnley were in posession when he stopped the game for a Brentford player with a sore foot. Then gave Brentford the ball to restart without making the 'injured' player leave the pitch.

Here's the not even really tight onside they spent forever trying to work out.

Absolute shambles these lot.

Then the fact the ref doesn't recognise it was an obvious foul in the first place.

We didn’t need a replacement for cork, cork 100% still good enough to play one game a week, the leadership and organisation cork could have brought to the team this season

Cork being brought into the side last season transformed us. Why we haven't tried it again is anyone beyond me.

They could have finished the match with 8 men and it wouodn't have been undeserved.

No. What's cost us this season is defensive ineptitude and not scoring enough goals with players who aren't yet ready for this level of football.

You're not wrong about our own shortcomings, but my point about the officials costing us points remains.

Lots to like about Trafford but I don't think we'd have been as successful with him last season. We lose so much for not having Muric's excellence passing out from the back

The current trends of officiating directly reward simulation, deception and remonstrating with officials. I hope we don't join in the circus but not having done so has cost us real points and possibly our place in the league.

I assume he was the best player in that league if he played for England? I think it was likely he'll have played for England seniors by that stage. Would have certainly still been among the best in the league but us kids were fearless and already close to his level due to playing snooker every day.
