@uncwlax got homered - tough loss! #NCAAWLAX

@OkayMeanwhile Terrible to see the game being re-refereed like this.

On one hand… it’s nice to see North Carolina not get every call. On the other hand… these overturned calls/goals taken away… is absolutely disgusting for lacrosse and sports officiating in general. #ncaawlax

@RossingtonDC @dcunited I don’t think I have seen a softer penalty given in @MLS. How did that stand?

A penalty was awarded to Chicago. #DCvCHI | 1-1

@AdeTeeTee @tobyasky The foul on Havertz was also likely first

@tobyasky It's very funny that both the VAR and assistant were making the ref focus on the foul on Raya, Rice's grabbing of Mavropanos, and Trossard's holding of Pablo. But they missed the one on the far edge of the screen; Soucek's foul on Havertz! That should have also be considered.

After listening to the 4mins conversation between the VAR, AVAR, and the referee. I really want to know why the VAR didn’t show the referee this angle? The AVAR tried to tell the VAR, but he wasn’t interested, he then showed a useless angle to the ref.

@Ming_of_Mercy @UberWestHam @FA_PGMOL Did you miss the first foul - Tomáš Souček on Havertz?

@UberWestHam Complete & genuine sympathy. It’s 2 penalties to WHU! The @FA_PGMOL cowardice to simply enforce the existing rules of the game against football is ruining the game. The team that’s best at bending the rules shouldn’t be the primary quality to be the champions.

This angle is disgraceful, we were robbed. Pablo is literally being wrestled, not to mention the other fouls from Arsenal players there. VAR is a plague to the beautiful game, so sick of inconsistent biased officiating.

@Lea_EFC Did you miss Tomáš Souček on Havertz before anything else? Every football supporter should want the obvious foul against Raya to be consistently called regardless of who you support.

Everywhere you look you can see an Arsenal player committing a foul on a West Ham player, but VAR takes 5 minutes to spot a dubious infringement on an Arsenal player! That is literally match fixing btw.

@Coasterguy14 @dwright75 Tomáš Souček on Havertz

@dwright75 Declan rice on mavropanos Trossard on Todibo

How many fouls can you spot in this pic??

@Rossdog91 @dwright75 @donhutch4 Look at Tomáš Souček on Havertz at the near post - that is the first foul.

@dwright75 @donhutch4 Pen for foul by Rice at least? Refs and VAR are bottling it. Foul on keeper fair call but def a pen for all other fouls.

@JackRTompkins @dwright75 @tammutu Agree the lack of consistency is the issue here and must be addressed - For corner kicks, I support the suggested to require the attacking team to be outside the goal box until the kick is taken. This might not eliminate all of the grappling that takes place now but it’s a start.

@dwright75 @tammutu The controversy isn’t the goal being disallowed, it’s the inconsistency, it is a foul on GK, there are also other fouls in the box and have been all year, just get it right consistently !

@HammerWelling @dwright75 Watch Tomáš Souček wrestle Havertz to the floor before any of this …

@dwright75 Watch trossard not looking at ball pushes penalised player into GK

Another brilliant piece from Eddie Gibbs of It Was Always… Football. Exceptional writing and analysis - do yourself a favor and subscribe to his Substack! VAR Saves Arsenal, Punishes West Ham and Leaves PGMOL in the Dock open.substack.com/pub/itwasalway…

@adrianjones1975 @AwayDaysFB It is both clear and obvious so VAR was correct to ask Kavanagh to take a look. I agree the league and PGMO need to make it a point of emphasis to eliminate the grappling in the box from set pieces and consistently enforce this from the start of the season.

@AwayDaysFB It’s hard to disagree with you on this. I think it’s a foul, but it’s not clear and obvious. The problem is it’s a subjective decision and we have seen many of these go for and against the GK this season - consistency is needed….

VAR was introduced to help fix 'clear and obvious errors'. It was NOT introduced to chalk off last minute goals that could potentially change the entire history of a premier league club. Nor should a 'clear and obvious error' take SIX MINUTES to figure out... Also, the arm acr...

@LozNorthon @kimmoFC Striking - An act where a player attempts to hit, hits, or makes forceful contact with an opponent or another person using the hand, arm, elbow, head, knee, foot, or an object.

@kimmoFC A wack across the bag of the leg with his forearm? It was hardly career threatening. He got a yellow. Live with it, grow up, move on and maybe focus on what Arsenal need to do to win the PL ather than spending so much time and energy on the minor infractions of City.

Is punching allowed now? x.com/Kj88776Kjetil/…

@LAGr_VXVX Should be thanking the referee for the first yellow! Bizarre decision …

Huge Shout-out to Silvan Hefti for the point! #EveryoneN

@Forever_weird Terrible decision that ultimately changed the game

So Hefti gets fouled in the first half of the DC vs Nashville game but gets a yellow card for it and now is sent off for an actual yellow card in the 2nd half

@nocontextfm1 @themagic_tophat Just proves that Arsenal are refereed differently - even in the UCL!

Sorry what, how are people claiming this isn’t a penalty?

@Petahsamwise17 @WelBeast You are the one crying about Arsenal - just be consistent when you whine.

@CGJoe85 @WelBeast Cry for me joor😂

Unbelievable. Daylight robbery. Stonewall penalty.

@Petahsamwise17 @WelBeast Did AM score from open play?

@WelBeast You wanted a penalty more than you wanted to score from open play 😭😂 Even your players didn't complain this much😂

@Tuhaisedgar @WelBeast It was clearly not a clear and obvious error on the part of the referee. No way VAR should have gotten involved in re-refereeing the match.

@WelBeast This wasn't a penalty played well you can clearly see how the atletical player step the ground you can believe it or not but it was clearly not a penalty

@litimothe @Mo_Arsenal9 100% ridiculous post - tell me when in the LOTG it says he has to be in possession.

@Mo_Arsenal9 I'm being 100% honest here If he takes that in his stride, then you'd actually have a point The ball rolls across him, and it's never a card cause he wasn't in possession at any point

PGMOL took title from Arsenal right here. Arteta was right. Title was there. That's a clear RED. Anthony Taylor is a bas*ard.
