December 6, 20214 yr more controversy: Richarlison's goal is ruled offside after a VAR check. he didn't look offside to me.

But it's impossible to know what's in his head. That's a straight red in my book. He looks at the downed player then looks away as he delivers his boot right into the face he was just looking at.
December 6, 20214 yr wild final five minutes of the half. Everton went from up 1-0 to down 1-0 in a matter of moments.
December 6, 20214 yr Just from what I see in that picture totally not intentional, he's not even looking at the guy, how could he know a guy's face was there? 11 minutes ago, Cheeseweasel said: The video is much better than a screen shot. https://juststream.live/ExemptingNeighbourhoodsFolkish I don't think it's a "stomp" because he's airborne avoiding the flying legs. But it's impossible to know what's in his head. That said, watching that video, IMHO clear red. He looks at him, looks away, STOMP! He's even selling the whole "OH I LOST MY BALANCE WITH THAT" throwing up his arms. It got a yellow at least, right? Edited December 6, 20214 yr by Captain Ron

I can see that. Slow motion makes it harder, IMNSHO. I've seen less given, I've seen worse let go. But we can all agree. Fuck Mike Dean.

December 6, 20214 yr That does a raise a question about that boot to the head, did it even go to VAR? IE did Dean review it? Missing the call in real time is one thing, missing it on the monitor is completely different. IE: Real time - missed by Dean VAR official - What happened here? Dean reviews on monitor - did this happen? Edited December 6, 20214 yr by Captain Ron

December 6, 20214 yr So I do have a few thoughts on this as well: 1. At this level, any time a guy steps on another guy, it is 100% intentional. Any replay will show this to be blatantly obvious. I watched Dele Alli once throw an extra step in just to make sure he got to step on a guy. These guys are too good they can easily do this and accidental there is a risk they injure themselves (roll and ankle or something), 2. In real time it would be really hard to throw a red card on events like these. It's hard to see them and honestly think he did that on purpose. I bet if they showed that play in real time, you wouldn't be able to tell. 3. VAR absolutely has to get these out of the game. That's flat dangerous and borders on intentionally trying to hurt a guy. The VAR ref has to send that to Dean to see it and review it.
December 6, 20214 yr wow. even as an Arsenal fan, i'm not a huge fan of those two goals being ruled offside.
December 6, 20214 yr Just now, Cheeseweasel said: Arsenal should be blowing a team like Everton away. But here we are at 1-1.... we badly need a striker. hopefully we get one in january.

December 6, 20214 yr Not watching the game, just pulling the replays of both disallowed goals - they seem pretty clearly offsides. I'm not sure I see the argument. The first was well off, IMHO and obvious to the eye in VAR. The 2nd was pretty close, but the line of the box made it pretty clear.

December 6, 20214 yr Just now, shadow_operative said: ok so how are we going to make this one be offside? Mike Dean...uh...finds a way...
December 6, 20214 yr The stomp should probably be a red in my book. But like someone said - I've probably seen worse get just a yellow. If that's an NBA game that's a flagrant 2 and ejection. If the officials feel like it's 50/50 whether it's intentional or not then it's probably intentional. Why should the player get the benefit of the doubt when he put a boot into someone's face?

Late and high is a red. totally agreed. had Granit Xhaka done either the face stomping or the high, studs up challenge he would have been (rightly) sent off. i don't believe there's any conspiracy, but year on year the numbers show that nobody gets fucked by referee/VAR decisions more than Arsenal. so weird, so frustrating.

I was curious about this because I think most fans think their club gets the short end of the VAR stick more often than not. Certainly there are varying degrees of VAR crimes against each club but here are the raw numbers. 2019-20: 2020-21: 2021-22 so far: Some aggregate scores: Brighton +11 Man United +6 Chelsea +1 Man City -1 Liverpool -2 Arsenal -4 Norwich -9 (two seasons) Wolves -11
December 7, 20214 yr I saw that report on ESPN (here btw), but I didn't like their methodology. Take Arsenal for example, specifically yesterday's game: Quote Game: Everton (A; Dec. 6)Incident: Richarlison goal disallowed for offside, 44th minute - FORIncident: Richarlison goal disallowed for offside, 57th minute - FOR So by that account yesterday's game was +2 for them. But you could easily argue that the Godfrey incident should count in this score. VAR took some time to look at it and it technically went against them. And by that you change their score to +1 on the day and +2 on the season. But with that 1 incident, you then might as well throw out the whole thing, because if you don't count that, what else isn't being counted?

I agree there’s not really a perfect methodology but the scores are for incidents in which a call on the field was overturned after looking at VAR.
December 8, 20214 yr VAR or lack of VAR is a million times better than last year. Fuck 2020-21. Unwatchable dreck.

I agree there’s not really a perfect methodology but the scores are for incidents in which a call on the field was overturned after looking at VAR. But overturning or not, once it is somewhat being reviewed, that should be judged as +1/-1 for a team.
December 8, 20214 yr This isn't EPL, but I don't see how Spurs play this weekend either. I mean at some level this goes beyond being fair, this starts to become a risk of the safety of the league. You're putting teams at risk. And I will say this, given how the team went to 0 to full blown outbreak in just a few days, you kind of have to wonder if this was omicron and if so how at risk are the rest of the teams?
