PGMOL confirms it was an error and Lee Mason simply forgot to draw the lines.
And that’s it…no corrective measures nothing.
At the same time Brentford had a perfectly good goal taken off them.
Howard Webb has contacted Arsenal to apologise for the mistake and inconvenience caused.
Inconvenience loooooooooooool oh my days
And that’s 5 points VAR has robbed off.
I’m counting the Martinelli decision at OT as 3.
Clowns.
Lee Mason was also suspended in September for incorrectly using VAR to disallow a goal.
The running theory is that he spent so long trying to work out of the first incident was off side that he completely panicked and just gave the 2nd one a quick eye test.
Surely they just sack him now…surely.
I don't know why there's not more calls to scrap VAR altogether. It's an awful system and littered with stacks of human error cases now. That's the whole point of why it's there ffs. It's ruined the flow of the game and I'm sick of it. Get rid.
And bring back the proper offside rule too. Fed up with seeing cnuts deliberately standing in offside positions for free kicks. We want the old school rule. If anybody is offside, that's just it, done, simple. Offside traps used to be an art form.
I rememeber when the 'not interfering with play' craic first came in, if the player was offside he'd basically turn his back the other way and walk slowing in the oppositie direction of the goal for about 10 meters. That was slightly tolerable. We're nowhere close to that now.
Meh. Luck is part of football and we had a fair amount of it during our run to this position. We virtually stole 3 points at Leeds, as an example.
More worrying is that based on the highlights I saw (like most us, I did not watch the game) I was dismayed to see how few chances we created. Based on MOTD we were lucky to come away with a point.
Which means precisely sod all if we play like we can and win Wednesday night, of course.
Probably won for the lads on betfair but couldn’t I sue Lee Mason for lost bets?
Now that it’s been established he complete nincompoop.
Of course, if you want to continue the injustice angle of Brentford's goal, you can start with that never being a free kick in the first place.
Toney put his arms around Saliba, not the other way around. Cheating pr1ck that he is.
