To be fair, that is Arsenalâs primary scoring technique. The Mancs are just trying to emulate it.
Itâs crazy that so many decent teams are playing tactics that were popular in the 80s.
He did? You mean likeâŚwith his missus?
1-1 wasnât too bad. Would have prefered Fulham to get 3, but not bad. I read that United got a penalty that they shouldnât have had, so itâs nice that Bruno blasted one over.
Did you hear about the great injustice that will dominate discussion for weeks if not months, Chris Kav walked into him about 30 seconds before he took it and this was so traumatic he sent his penalty kick to the south west.
Kelly Cates was literally trolling the punditry 
Poor guy wonât feel safe on a football pitch for a long time after being blindsided like that
Surprised he didnât fall over, roll round get awarded 2 penalties and miss them both.
Their goal shouldnât have stood, blatant 2 handed push in Basseyâs back, how VAR judged that as legal is beyond me.
And thatâs now a tactic, given Arsenalâs blatant fouling in the box for 90% of set pieces.
Itâs the crock of shit you hear from the commenatators as well, backing up the push or the holding of the shirt, they are morons and making the game a joke by not calling it whole heartedly.
To be fair, Stelling and McCoist were very strong this morning that Yoroâs goal should not have stood, ie a blatant foul that was all the more puzzling given the Yanited penalty that seemed to be plucked out of thin air.
Yeah to push this âclampdownâ out of thin air in the same game and then ignore it a half later which benefited one team will tell you that itâs not a clampdown.
Dale Johnson: âVAR is reluctant to get involved for pushing on goalsâ said in the same piece about how this season they want a tougher approach to holding in the box.
So holding and preventing someone potentially scoring is a good use of VAR, but intervening on someone actually scoring after benefiting from a push is too far and too intrusive. There are probably a reasonable set of arguments for why one was a foul and the other not because no two incidents are the same and you can always draw distinctions that might reasonable lead to different decisions about them. But to these people not hear themselves? This is an insane way to justify the way the officials viewed these incidents.
VAR should get involved in both or nethier. I do feel itâs set up to get completely trashed so they will in the end get rid of it all including offsides that evidently they probably dislike because it makes them look shit.
It feels like they have backed themselves into a strange position of not wanting to impact too much goals that have already been scored because of fan backlash to it ruining the game despite that being principally what it was brought in to address (Henryâs handball against Ireland in the WC play off was a big factor in finally moving forward with it).
It feels like the authorities are trying to be responsive on the micro level without keeping what they were brought in to do as the north star in every process development decision and so we end up with an incoherent collection of ideas.
And they seem overly concerned on offsides as itâs all Wenger can talk about with his silly idea which effectively undermines the laws of the game in my view.
The commentary in game thought it was a push but a soft one, had no conviction in condemning VAR
fitting that bruno shot it into clear air
NASA confirmed itâs in orbitâŚ.
