Bournemouth A Sat 19th Oct KO 1730

[DB10GOONER]

Deluded fans blaming the ref and Var for the defeat. The reason we lost was bad team selection by the manager and the players not turning up. If the score has been 4-0 we couldn't have complained. We were fucking awful from the 1st minute till the last

Hang on. Who is blaming the defeat on the ref and VAR? Not me. I'm pissed that we were cheated in having a player sent off for doing something you will not see another player sent off for - again. But that is separate to the defeat. We lost because Arteta has built a team, not a squad. Actually it's not even a full team, we don't have a proper striker, so he's built most of a team, but certainly not a squad.

The blame for yesterday's performance lies squarely on our lacklustre performance caused by the lack of suitable players to play against a team that pressed us everywhere on the pitch.
However it has to be said that the sending off did not help and probably settled the result but the comments made earlier reflected on the look of the whole Webb /PGMOL thing .
No doubt the whitewash is coming out but I have a feeling that social media is one thing that they can't control .
It will be interesting to see how long it stays in the limelight.

Yep. We were crap up to the sending off. It just compounded it.

Bournemouth are crap as well. Awful performance and we cannot let the var excuse get away from that. Yes it's fishy and we are hated but we have been poor a number of times this season irrespective of the refereeing.

Merino looks a lemon. Too early too judge I know but on the sample size in our shirt...as for sterling....

The Chelsea Tosin yellow incident has kept it rumbling , perhaps social media is the only way to get results.
, However agree about Merino , being graceful on the ball is one thing but in this league mobility in midfield is just as important . Sterling however needs to be sent back as soon as possible . I'm not claiming that he would be the answer but we sold Biereth for £4 million and although I concede that he is playing in Austria but so far he has played 12 games ,9 goals and 1 assist and we let him go at 21 years old because two ageing past it players were blocking his way.

although a lot of decisions appear to be going against us this season (and I am one of those that is leaning towards there being corruption involved) I am also a bit concerned that it is covering up our shortfalls this season. Lets face it the summer transfer window was a DISASTER. Not one player bought that has improved us, still no striker options - ok Nketiah was never the answer, but neither is Jesus these days. we over rely on Saka and without him we are a mid table side. Against Brighton and City I a fairly confident that we would have secured all 3 points without the sending off.
can we really say the same for the Bournemouth match ?

Mikel Arteta says it will be left up to the club if they appeal the William Saliba red card because they need to compare it to similar incidents.

True.

But it still doesn't negate the 'Fact' that once again we were bent over and royally fucked up the pineapple fritter by PGMOL.


Yes, merino didn't cover himself in glory... looked weak in the challenge and he was uncertain in his thinking when passing the ball to anyone.

Sterling!? We have been Mugged Off Yet again by the ChavScummyCunts. More fool us though huh!

There are at least two (*) identical incidents that someone has posted on the VAR thread on here, so surely the club HAS To Appeal the card simply on that basis

(*) Saka v BHA
and
yesterday in the scouse v chavs game

[OneBardGooner]

CORRUPT C.U.N.T

Waste of time. They'd just say it was a frivolous appeal and increase the ban. When we'd point out that the chavs player did the exact same thing 24 hours later and only got a yellow they'd just counter it with some bullshit about the 2 incidents being completely different. They'll have an answer for everything - they're right, we're wrong, case dismissed.

[Redarmy]

THe bournemouth player who was pulled back was a yard offside .....FFS



how did that pass VAR???

Trossard passed it to him

fair enough

All the Sky "experts" and that utter prick Gallagher (the mike dean of his era) all too happy to say the mousers and Saliba incidents are not comparable....talk about only seeing what you want to see.

[mcdowell42]

Their reckoning on the Liverpool incident is that the chavs player (colvill i think)was close to the Liverpool attacker and could have got across to cover ,so therefore they didn't see it as a goal scoring opportunity, whereas with us their reckoning was that there was no way White was going to make it across to cover so therefore saliba was denying a goal scoring opportunity,considering the Bournemouth attacker was still about 35/40 yards away from our goal ,how they could count it as a scoring opportunity is beyond me.

After saying all that we were absolutely rubbish on the day ,pathetic performance

plus sky themselves show the overhead view of where the ball landed and where it was headed, I cant say for sure what Raya and white would have done had play continued but what i can say is that on all the evidence available to myself and there for VAR, it wasnt not a clear scoring opportunity.

But of course the dippers get all the benfit of the doubt and its a completely different scenario, yellow the correct decision. Im just surprised the chav didnt have his wallet knicked while he lay on the ground

Agreed with both of you 100%. The other bit that is really fucking me off is their player didn't even have possession of the ball. How can that be a clear goal scoring opportunity ffs? That far out? Also isn't VAR supposed to only interfere with the refs decision when it's "an obvious error"? How was that an obvious error. Even the spineless commentator cûnt and fucking "please like me" Smudger initially were complementing the ref for only giving a yellow, saying it was the sensible and correct call.
