Threeps……just a final thought on the non penalty. With the Brentford one the ref had given a free kick, var intervene to say it’s on the line (by a flys mickey)….therefore ref is forced to award a penalty, and var not remotely interested in whether it was a foul or not. However on the basis of last night’s refereeing, he should have downgraded the incident from a foul and gave the keeper a drop ball. All we want is consistency.
Even in the Villa game, they had a player down completely off the pitch (Think it was Onana, the same player could have had 4 yellows and a red) and the ref is stopping play until he is ready to come back, whereas vs utd we had a player down with a head injury on the pitch and ref says play on. (People might say it was his own player that took him out…it was…but remember the Everton game last year, two of their players took each other out in added time and the ref stopped playing even though there were mere seconds left and added another 4 minutes….then they score by a player who should have been off in the first half)
Just want consistency from refereeing. You talk about us not understanding the rules, but who could when they are applied so differently every game.
