What is the conspiracy against Nottingham Forest? I'm sure every team can make a reel like this. Ours could probably look as juicy as this from memory. There's no conspiracy, the refs are just not very good and often make mistakes. But no, I'm sure it's because the FA (?) don't want Forest in the PL.

It's the sheer 'wrong'-ness of them for me.

I often wonder who is buying these players. The paqueta deal was the one that they wanted and when that fell through they panic bought Nunes but haven't used him at all. It's like the Kalvin Phillips signing, did pep really want either of them?

Weakens the rest of the league with no consequence because 115 charges

Not to spoil anything, but the main storyline on release was ridiculed quite a lot  

But but they changed it with the first DLC so I'm presuming that's what they'll do for the remaster too

If it's being remastered you'd imagine it will have the look of Fallout 4 which looks stunning.

What was the story/gameplay like for 3?

Also, grey is probably an apt colour for a post-apocalyptic world

this reel is mental

Just awful.

I've never played 3, so I'm really excited about the rumours of it being remastered.

I love 3 but I think a lot of the love was because it was so good at the time.

Replaying it, it's so grey.

How much did they spend on Matheus Nunes? It's Pep's decision only to buy him for a tonne of money, then give him 0 minutes in a tight schedule.

word removed.

Well yeah, but when bad refereeing is not just influencing, but deciding the outcomes of games, particularly a cup semi final, the human error continuum is tilted to the point of being inflected. And it's every bloody week. Not expecting 100% accuracy, but I don't think it's beyond the realms of whimsy to expect 'mostly accurate', or 'occasionally inaccurate'. That's two big games games ruined in one day. 

By their own figures, which are likely to be wild underestimates, the Premier League have recorded 20 VAR incidents alone- that's 20 incidents which have been considered in slow motion, by multiple cameras for minutes on end- that have been incorrect. And that does not include incorrect calls by refs that were ineligible for VAR review. 

That also doesn't include those decisions judged to be wrong on-field but 'correct' in terms of a (non) VAR intervention. Using those, the numbers are really big. For example, against Brentford, the panel said Carlos should have got a pen on field but VAR was correct to not intervene, so it's not an error. But that error isn't added anywhere.

The explanation for a lack of intervention by the unofficial VAR spokesman Dale Johnson is that the fall for the 1st one doesn't reflect the force of the kick. But when you review it in slow motion, it looks not a lot. But I've been booted on the ankle like that, even not as a foul and it's painful. Add to that he's nowhere near the ball and it's a pen. 

The word salad here to justify it:

Quote

VAR review: Of the three situations this is the one where Forest have a legitimate complaint. The referee's description of an incident is at the centre of the VAR's decision-making, so if Taylor thinks Young got the ball and replays suggest he didn't, surely that qualifies as a clear and obvious error?

It's not quite that simple, as it still requires the VAR to judge that the error is a missed penalty; a referee isn't just sent to the monitor to have another look purely if the description doesn't match. But wrongly thinking a player has won the ball when he's taken the opponent should qualify.

The Premier League is desperate to limit the impact of VAR upon games, which is why it wants such a high bar for interventions. It wants VAR to go back to it's original remit of "minimum interference for maximum benefit," but it hinges on good decisions on the field in the first place.

Here you go, I made the protocol better

Ref: ball, no pen!

VAR: He didn't get the ball so you should take another look

Then the on field ref can decide if THEY made the mistake or not.

The way they've implemented it is just horrific.

NV is objectively the best game in the series, you guys are mental

I think real time it could absolutely look like Young has won the ball.  It pings up in a really odd way so I've got no issue with the referee missing that.

How VAR doesn't pick it up; no idea.

Agree and disagree.

With our implementation they're looking at 2 things. Whether it's a pen on field and whether VAR were correct to get involved.

They can basically say the ref got it wrong but VAR also got it right. Refs have to be braver to give the decision, and the protocol has to change so VAR's aren't backed up by 'the independent panel' saying they were right to not get involved.

Still don't understand why we aren't sending refs more often to the screen to check. Especially in this 3rd case, where Taylor said 'ball' and the VAR can easily correct him on that and ask him to take another look.

The 3rd penalty shout is one of the worst non-calls I've ever seen. VAR or not.

Everyone's game ratings?

For me

NV
4 (I know I know)
3
76

Didn't play 1 or 2

I put 4 above 3 despite 3 being one of my favourite games of all time as when I did a re-play of them last year, I wanted to replay 4 and didn't 3.

He was actually on loan at Bournemouth, and apparently was shite for them. So a nice one for him to show them what they missed.

Of course Dougie gets back in, as does Buendia and JJ. 

Were at the big boys table now. You can't go CL, league and cups  without a squad.i

I meant on Saturday

Quietly brilliant for a while now. Better in a 2 without Kamara than Luiz for me. Not sure how Dougie gets back in. 

He’s still so bad going forward for an ex winger. He doesn’t beat his man, he can rarely cross and he’s not great on the ball. 

to be fair…

**** hell

The goal was coming. We haven’ been good enough. Playing the ball to marked players around our own box eventually cost us. 

Literally how we beat arsenal. It’s a legit strategy. 

Cash is easily one of our worst players. Wouldn’t get into most starting XIs in the league, nevermind one chasing CL

Diaby piss weak too

Horrific 

They’ll have the most expensive land in League One fair play

At least with Arsenal losing already I could really enjoy that shoot out. 5th was already gone.

It really wasn’t. Likely is now though.
