GW 7 Game Thread - VAR Strikes again

[67YAZ]

If leagues can deduct points from teams that go bankrupt, bribe officials, or other misdeeds, leagues can also add points when officials fuck up.

Is almost as insane. Liverpool isn't the first team to have a goal wrongly called off for offsides. It's happened hundreds and hundreds of times.

VAR is broken, that should be the focus.

That game is over, end of.

It was meant as a facetious reply … I agree the game is done and nothing will change that result. But this wasn’t a simple match turning botched call - something meaningful will have to be done by the powers that be - and that sure as hell can’t be PGMOL.

You guys will be walking alone on this one. Not happening.

Does Adam Copeland show up at Craven Cottage? What does Tony Khan have up his sleeve tonight?

Craven Cottage built on Anne Boleyn's hunting grounds

Vinicius tried to clothesline Thiago Silva. Wants Tony Khan to also give him an AEW contract

Seems like Chelsea has a kit sponsor

 

[the1andonly3003]

I'm sure more of us will care about Luton-Burnley tomorrow than Fulham-Chelsea today

Surely JJ Watt will be in attendance, not like he had a lot to do this weekend

Reminder there’s UCL group stage action today and tomorrow. Some highlights today include Inter/Benfica and Napoli/Real Madrid, and tomorrow we get Dortmund/Milan, Porto/Barca, Newcastle/PSG, and RB Leipzig/Man City. And @candylandriots would be rightfully slighted if we didn’t mention that Union Berlin has one of the early games today (12:45 eastern), against Braga.

Thank you! I’m on the way now and have NEVER seen so many Unioners, and it’s almost 3 hours before game time. Today is a holiday, so that helps too I’m sure.

One of my friends who’s coming to the game, asked me if he should wear red or black. I thought red, but wasn’t sure so consulted a Union message board which said (translated) “please don’t wear unred tonight.”

They just played the VAR audio live onTalksport. It's a total cock up. I expect it will be clipped and posted on youtube in the next hour or so, maybe less.

You've got voices calling for the game to be delayed and another voice saying it's already started then a bleeped out swearword.

Sky have the audio too and are playing it. Here we go.

The Sky video is blocked in the US, but this worked for me.

The VAR room wasn’t paying attention. There’s no other explanation. The communication from the on-field officials was absolutely clear

 

[SocrManiac]

I assumed the Oli they were referencing was Michael Oliver, the fourth official. It wasn’t, it was Oli Kohout. So, Darren’s boss told them to stop the game.
