Holgate off, given by VAR. Clear red.
Re: Today's Football

How's he not given a red in real time?
Awful refereeing for a truly awful tackle by Holgate.
This is where the powers that be say VAR is brilliant without calling out the ref for getting it so wrong in the first place.

Holgate doing his bit to let us know we could have it worse. Crazy challenge.

That’s one of the worst challenges I have seen in a long time. Reckless and utterly filthy
Re: Today's Football

That's got to be one of the clearest, most blatent red cards ever. A horrendous tackle by Holgate.

Could be a long old afternoon for the Blades.
Disgusting challenge by Holgate.

Given Sheff have had 4 points given to them by VAR and we’ve had 6 taken off us it’s no surprise they look a lot worse than us. They are incredibly fortunate to be level on points.
Re: Today's Football

Just playing devils advocate here. It was a definite red, and it was very reckless
BUT I do think it's one of those that looks a lot worse than it really was
https://x.com/secondtierpod/status/1759 ... 86442?s=20
Think he's gone to muller the ball, but Mitoma nicks it as he's swinging and his follow through catches him.

Hang on - disallowed for handball
Re: Today's Football
Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2024 2:45 pm
Yes. The dopey ref shouldn't have needed VAR.
Re: Today's Football

Now checking the monitor
Re: Today's Football

Mason Holgate is a complete fraud of a footballer.
Re: Today's Football
Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2024 2:47 pm
No handball so ruled out for offside instead
Re: Today's Football
Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2024 2:47 pm
How on earth has he managed to disallow that
Re: Today's Football
Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2024 2:48 pm
Bloody pantomime.
Re: Today's Football

Didn't see much wrong with the goal to be fair.
Oh well!

He’s offside from the flick on
Re: Today's Football
Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2024 2:51 pm
When did this deliberate action nonsense enter the rules? It comes off a Brighton player and that is the only time it goes forward whilst Osborn is in an offside position. Absolutely ridiculous.
Re: Today's Football
Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2024 2:52 pm
Was clearly offside
Re: Today's Football

Yeah, sometimes. And it’s just ruining the game.
Re: Today's Football
Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2024 2:57 pm
Atwell is the supply teacher of referees, the prime example was the end of the half where he keeps blowing his whistle, while the players completely ignore him, he has no authority.
If he does his job and makes the correct call then Holgate should have been having a shower well before he was.

The problem with VAR isn't the concept. It is the absolute clowns that are using it.
Re: Today's Football
Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2024 3:02 pm
Nevertheless it came off a Brighton player. Not long ago that would have mattered...and now because he didn't mean it it doesn't count. Another ridiculous rule that is open to subjectivity.

Just watching Brighton playing their way out of trouble then, how they strike the ball with purpose.
We are now playing the safe pass and quite often play our way into trouble, under hit passes that leave us vulnerable to being dispossessed.
