    Match Thread: FAC4: Chelsea v Villa

    in FAC4: Chelsea a

    Posted · Edited by a-k

    Didn't even celebrate, knew it would be chalked off for something.

    Probably the right decision in the end, but don't think I've ever seen a ref just take the VAR's word for ruling out a goal without going to the screen for something other than offside??

    Yeah I know this. But it must be worded wrong, as VAR have no power to rule out anything, they can only advise the ref and then he makes the decision. This is where VAR is going worng

    VAR should be able to advise on everything, saying they couldn't even mention it to the ref, is just get out of jail free card, load of bollecks really

    I think they are so worried about what they "can" and "can't" do that they lose common sense about what they are supposed to be there for in the first place.

    Is the Toney moving the ball incident not proof of VAR not consentrating on the game. Surely they would have advised the ref, Toney moved the ball if they had seen it. Yes other teams do it, but not generally to the extent Toney did it, he actually moves it twice. If VAR saw the incident I would have expected them to advise and the goal not to be given.

    They were not allowed to intervene

    Nottingham Forest have been informed by the referees' organisation that the video assistant referee did not have the power to rule out Brentford's disputed equaliser on Saturday.

    Certainly wasn't clear and obvious as it took three minutes...

    The commentators were speechless with the decision which says a lot, looked level to me...

    They were speechless because they didn't know what the hell was going on...one line drawn for offside but not the other, then looking at Lenglet either fouling or being in keeper's view, etc, then back to original offside view

    This seemed true again yesterday.

    Konsa is seemingly a better offensive centre back than Carlos is against a low block, and far less prone to reckless behaviour. Cash has his faults, but so does Carlos. He cost us a goal yesterday, and very nearly contributed to us conceding.

    Carlos was the reason Bailey was offside?

    Chelsea win via a dodgy pen, I think if pens for fouls in the box were scrapped the game would be so much better.

    See a striker in on goal rugby tackled from behind to stop a goal scoring opportunity with no pen given would be quite entertaining.

    I do agree though that not every foul in the box should be a pen...most should be indirect FKs.

    DC not a bad shout as if he doesn't start, he's unlikely to be subbed on. problem is we don't keep clean sheets whereas estupinan has a lot of attacking threat even if they concede

    Yeah him not playing against SHU worked out like that as I got Archer off the bench with 8. Problem is that with TAA out, I'm already having to use one of my budget defenders. Two in one GW if DC doesn't play is maybe too much.
