Think Lee Mason might be in trouble after the incident I just saw at WBA.
Free-kick to Brighton with WBA's keeper on the post still lining up the wall, Mason whistles for the kick to be taken. Brighton score, Mason blows again before the ball went in. Mason disallows it, then changes his mind and gives the goal. Then VAR get involved and the goal is disallowed again.
Reckon thats the first time I've seen VAR correct a clear and obvious error that would never have been pre-VAR.

That was most annoying. I laid the Baggies at 1.67 early on after they scored as they are pretty useless in defence and was disgusted to see not one, but TWO missed penalties for Brighton in addition to what was a legitimate goal from the free kick clearly AFTER the whistle was blown.

Lee Mason should be demoted from the Premier League and re-trained before being allowed near another PL match again in my opinion. I'm particularly bitter as it should have easily been 1-3 to Brighton.

Laid the draw in a Portuguese match. Favourites score in 2 minutes and their opponents get a red card for good measure. Great start to my evening trading.

Didn't catch the name of the player but the commentator said he's had six different partners since the start of the season. Totally inappropriate to discuss a player's private life during a match!

Fulham disallowed goal was ridiculous. Arm by side. Ball pinged at him from short range, Would have had to to raise his arm to an unnatural position to avoid contact with the ball to get out of the way.
Not a "clear and obvious error' that needed correcting.
VAR is a load of inconsistent crap in it's implementation.

It's important for the actual referee (and FA/FIFA) to remember that VAR stands for...

Video Assistant Referee

A linesman (assistant) gets over-ruled at times, yes, the actual ref can consider their flag/or no flag, but makes the decision. It needs to be reviewed on those lines...simples...

Turns out it was the correct decision. Apparently the rules on handball have changed. If the ball strikes an attacking players arm at all and it leads to a goal, the goal is ruled out, regardless of the position of the arm or whether deemed to be intentional or not. But the same no longer applies to defenders. They have now reverted to arm position and intent as being factors.
So VAR was right, I was wrong, but the rule is silly.

Liverpool as short as 2.32 to finish in the Top 4 :shock: Should be closer to 3 for me.

People seem to be factoring in our run in compared to others teams around us but forgetting the fact that we don't look like bating anybody at the moment
