• Southampton vs Leicester

Posted: **Fri Oct 25, 2019 8:12 pm**

I've just turned it on, Leicester 1 up and Southampton down to 10 men.

Even though last weekend was annoying, I see Leicester as finishing in the top 4 and therefore any hammering over Southampton is what I'd prefer.

Was that a red really? Looked a bit harsh to me.

I actually missed the challenge. I turned it on just as they were surrounding the ref and the card came out for Bertrand.

2-0 - could be a good hiding here.

Very harsh. Compare it to Coleman on Pieters. A very much worse tackle yet only yellow. It is the lack of consistency with decisions that is vilifying VAR.

Leicester....the new darlings of the Premier League. No way was that a straight red IMO

Two nil.

I agree. The commentary team were so quick to praise VAR it’s almost liked they’ve been told too....

PS Southampton are **** 10 men or not.

Posted: **Fri Oct 25, 2019 8:19 pm**

Studs halfway up the shin, of course it was a red

Posted: **Fri Oct 25, 2019 8:20 pm**

On for a pasting here, Saints.
Certain peno. Dreadful challenge.

Football being football, it'll finish 3-0!

It was an obvious red.

Like Wood's goal last week, VAR made the decision because the ref didn't see it.

No worse than the challenge Coleman got a yellow for

I love it. Clearest red card offense you'll ever see without fists flying and some of you are still questioning it because it's VAR.

Posted: **Fri Oct 25, 2019 8:27 pm**

Have a feeling Leicester have benefited by var several times already this season, is it four after last weeks debacle??

Could have possibly got away with the tackle, or a booking at worst without super slo-mo analysis

Posted: **Fri Oct 25, 2019 8:28 pm**

Definite red. Studs up, just below the knee. He didn't mean it but that isn't the point any longer.

As mentioned above it's the inconsistencies that are so annoying. There have been worse challenges than that this season which haven't seen red. Interesting to see it shown, in detail, on the big screen which will confirm the decision in the ground.

Saints will be in for a real pounding tonight as I don't think Leicester are a team to think 3 goals is enough, they are pretty ruthless this season.

So you saying that was the correct decision re Coleman ?

Not necessarily, although VAR doesn't actually think anything.

Which should have been a red

Posted: **Fri Oct 25, 2019 8:41 pm**

Are Leicester really good or are Southampton awful or is it a bit of both?

Tell that to the VAR.

Posted: **Fri Oct 25, 2019 8:44 pm**

It's not hard to understand, VAR will not overturn a referee's decision if their version of what happened matches the video footage.

Posted: **Fri Oct 25, 2019 8:45 pm**

I’m still chuckling at Joey and Paul thinking VAR is some form of automaton.

Posted: **Fri Oct 25, 2019 8:46 pm**

Five.

Bit of both I'd say. 5 goals from only 8 shots on target mixed with Southampton going down to 10.

I expect Leicester to finish 3rd or 4th though.

If we finish under Saints, we'll be in trouble on this showing, ten men or not

Fair enough, I suppose VAR can also refer to the bloke watching the screens as well as the technology itself.

It might be a case of how long they stick with Hasenhüttl

It’s not the same team watching all the games Paul that’s the point and way above Granny’s pay grade to understand

Posted: **Fri Oct 25, 2019 8:56 pm**

Just showed the replay of the red card.

If you did that on the street, the Old Bill would drag you away.

Southampton slowly morphing into the new Sunderland? Love to see it.

That makes zero sense, your original point was VAR isn’t a person, which it quite obviously is.

Posted: **Fri Oct 25, 2019 8:59 pm**

VAR is Mike Dean

VAR is a system
Anyway do you still think the Coleman decision was correct ?

Leicester have unearthed a gem in Harvey Barnes.
