What Has Been The Worst Reffing/VAR Decision This Season?

[billyiddo]

Bad refereeing decisions don't stick in my mind for some reason but seeing the Bentancur pen v Saudi Sportswashing Machine and the West Ham handball again reminds me of how bad they were.

And we still dont kick up enough of a fuss.
We really dont have the mentality to be what it takes to be fighters and having a winning mindset consistently.

We are where we are because of yrs of neglect. The losing mindset began last season in the league and thats a hard thing to reverse. I still think if we managed just 2 more wins or finished 14th. Ange may have stayed. But old news. He still would have been sacked cos thats what we do.

what Jose said was not wrong

I applaud levy for his attitude of we are going to do everything right, be squeaky clean and be the nice guy.
But at times you need to stand your corner and fight for that right, we badly let ourselves down by not protecting ourselves.

It blows my mind that even now - after an entire season of getting shafted nearly every week - we aren’t applying pressure to the PGMOL, EPL and FA regarding the absurdity of decisions going against us. There are now FIVE high profile ‘2-handed push’ incidents and every single one has gone against us. Four of those lead to goals (two disallowed for us, two allowed for opponents) and the fifth to two injured spurs players. Ergo, they have a demonstrably direct effect on the games.

It’s such a shame that as a fanbase we can’t do anything to apply pressure but there you go.

100%.

If the players saw the higher ups backing them by putting pressure on the PL/PGMOL about this litany of poor decisions going against us, this would improve the culture within the building of “everyone is in this together”. As it is, the execs seem so detached from the reality of what is happening on the pitch.

Why on earth did not make an official complaint over the pitch quality in the CL first leg against Atletico Madrid for example?

Barcelona have filed a second complaint to UEFA complaining that refereeing standards were not complied with in their Champions League quarterfinal exit to Atlético Madrid.

It baffles me to see our fans (on here as well) go "naaah, fellas... there's no agenda against us".

I mean it's pretty fudging clear if you ask me. And it's not new this season either, but now we are so brick we are actually getting relegated because of it

I don’t think there’s an actual agenda against us, I just think we’re seen as an easy touch by the refs and PGMOL. They know we never kick up a fuss as a club or a fan base in general really and we have literally zero “friends” in the commentary box or pundits studio, so the frankly ridiculous decisions we’ve been on the end of never get the attention they merit on tv. So refs feel no pressure to give decisions our way.

That Sunderland refs performance was scandalous, yet nothing from the commentators, in fact, Don Goodman said the ref had done well….

Can you imagine the absolute stink Arteta would have kicked up if the rkm goal had stood and arsenal dropped points.
Not just Arteta but the media would have been in a frenzy. We stood back and tutted from the sidelines.

I ask again, why would those behind the PL want one of their biggest cash cows to be relegated? How many people are going to be excited next season when Super Sunday is Chelsea v Hull, rather than Chelsea playing us?

There is no agenda. It’s called incompetence and it affects every team in the league.
