There is bias, and then there is just outright *******s :-)

Yes, the 1st part of the tackle was just about fine and outside the box but when the ball squirts out Martinelli is clean through and he clearly lifts his leg to bring him down.Quote:

But why was it not a pen according to VAR?
The same could be levelled at Gyokeres at this point tbf.Quote:

Boars, basically.
But he lifted his leg up off the floor once he saw Gabby was still on his feet and about to get the ball and realised this was his last and only chance to stop him.Quote:

That's pretty much exactly what Neville said. Nothing natural about it, entirely intentional.Quote:

In other words, refs don't understand footballers or the game.
Basically, I assume everything a professional footballer does on a football pitch is intentional.Quote:

I agree, that is a problem.Quote:

My guess.... they saw it, thought about it and thought it wasnt a clear and obvious error. But they hate saying that because what it actually says is that you think it is a foul. You think the ref made an error, just not a clear and obvious one.Quote:

So instead of saying that, they make up some bull**** to try and convince you it wasnt a foul. And slowly you lose respect for referees.
Not quite sure how Neville has a job.
he just makes lots of noises, ooooooooooohh and I hate it.
Was it not once the case that the officials were charged with actually "managing" games and the players. Like the one the other night giving Jurien a talking to.Quote:

You needed a slow-mo close up to see just how blatant it was.
Do you think the fact that if it was a foul, it would have to be a red scared them? Even if we miss the pen the Chavs aren't winning with ten.
Didn't want the game to be all about their decision.
Which would be strange cos they normally want to be the stars of the show.
We've all been spoiled by years of strikers who could control a football.Quote:

Nobody can actually explain what constitutes a clear and obvious error. I think they felt that was a 'seen them given' rather than a 'nailed on'.
The fact that Gary Neville thought it was a penalty (or feared might actually be a better word) tells you something.
