Never seen Dale disagree with an official like this

That is one of the best passes you’re ever going to see.

rebecca lowe is BESIDE HERSELF about this VAR ruling, and the two robbie's are in total agreement. VAR is ruling the headlines this weekend and it's a got damn shame.

Ramsdale? Nah, fuck that. I was really hoping Turner would get the start. 

[ztejas 44328]

Lol ManU has dominated the entire game. Oops.

[Surly Bevo 25962]

ManU bitches

[ztejas 44328]

That's coming back though. 

[mdmost 44337]

Well now VAR is here to take away a nice goal. 

Edited September 4, 2022 by mdmost

[Captain Ron 13148]

Brilliant goal. But that’s coming back because ref clearly missed a foul that started that. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

give me a fucking break. that tackle happens 100x a game. 

he's going to overturn this. 

[Surly Bevo 25962]

VAR gonna VAR.

[shadow_operative 15932]

fuck this. man u are a bunch of whiny fucking bitches.

[ztejas 44328]

That's a clear foul. Not VAR's fault that the ref didn't call it for whatever reason. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

"if that's a foul it's a soft foul." 

what the fuck are we doing here?!?

[mdmost 44337]

ManVARster United

[Hagbard Celine 11355]

come on he fucking pushed him to the ground WITH NO ATTEMPT TO PLAY THE BALL

sure it happens a hundred times a game when both players are leveraging their weight and appendages to win or control the ball

not the case here

proper call

This. That’s a clear of a foul to start a play. If that was going the other way and not overturned  I’m sure Arsenal fan would blow a gasket.

that's not a clear foul, that exact thing goes uncalled all of the time, this is a physical sport. that's the problem with this shit- it's completely subjective.

and btw, how the FUCK does mctominay not get booked for teo hand shoving martinelli from behind? arsenal have lost players for the entire season *twice* because of fouls like that. total horseshit. 

Edited September 4, 2022 by shadow_operative

[shadow_operative 15932]

i guarantee you an equal or more severe "foul" will go uncalled later this game. probably within the next 10 minutes.

So much this. It wasn't a 50-50 ball. It was in clear possession of Eriksen and the defender blew through him to steal the ball.

Anyway, whatever, justice prevails., they got the call right.

 

Now if VAR makes this a red, everyone should laugh really loudly.

[shadow_operative 15932]

gabriel jesus just wore a manchester united backpack while trying to receive a pass, but i guess that's not a foul. shouts out to paul tierney who grew up a mile away from the stadium.

[Hagbard Celine 11355]

you are going to single-handedly neg-karma your gunners

lo! and thus scores antony

[mdmost 44337]

Hate Man U but that was beautiful goal. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

Gabriel should have been booked there, and the only reason he wasn't is because United scored. remember that ^^^ the next time one of you wants to tell me that my opinions on fouls are only based on how it affects arsenal. 

[Hagbard Celine 11355]

as a pool fan this antony fucker is worrisome

i don't like someone with spit and fire kissing their shield

[shadow_operative 15932]

at the end of the day, that goal being called back obviously irks me, but i won't deny that tierney had a right to call that a foul. the fact that it affects arsenal- on the road against united no less- is clearly the reason that i'm particularly irked, *however*, the rage is real, and it's not about arsenal.
 

i hate what VAR has done to the game. you can't even celebrate a goal anymore, you have to wait and wonder and see and hope before you even know if your goal is really a goal. it's easily my least favorite aspect of EPL football. it ruins the beauty and passion of the game, not to mention the viewing experience.

Yup. Was thinking in the minutes before Antony scored that he's is a nice player but probably not a 100m player*. Utd won't mind overpaying if he continues scoring goals.

And it's still just fucking insane that City got Haaland for half that.

As an Ajax and Arsenal fan it sucks. It’s like having one of your kids move out, only to kick you in the nuts as the door closes.

Level. Good match of football this one

Edited September 4, 2022 by Dutch

[mdmost 44337]

Great answer. 

[Captain Ron 13148]

That move to swap Anthony and Ronaldo looks like an even bigger head scratcher once Arsenal equalizes.

Yep. Both teams playing really well. 

[ztejas 44328]

What a pass. 

[Captain Ron 13148]

It was pretty good. Rashford had been close to springing one. 

[Captain Ron 13148]

That was onside? BOTH times?

[ztejas 44328]

Just now, Captain Ron said:

First was close. Second doesn't matter because he has the ball past the last defender. 

[DeepEastTexas 648]

Eriksen MOTM

[Captain Ron 13148]

The second was clearly. The first … I guess so. 

[ztejas 44328]

I liked it better when ManU was sucking.

Huh? That pass can be offsides, Rashford still has to be behind the ball on the pass.

him playing for United suuuucks. i could appreciate his talent when he played for spurs because they were never a threat to win anything, but him playing for this United team is just wack.

Yeah I don't think he was ahead of the ball.
