West Ham Online

"Absolutely nothing. Say it again, yeah."

Social media is AWASH with fans of other teams fuming saying how everything always gets given our way. Haha. YLTSI

"Call me cynical, but I don't think we get either if those decisions given our way if we were playing a Sky 6 team instead of Bournemouth."

OOOH AHH UP THE VAR

"Was Mike Dean I believe, thanks Mike, you still owe is a few though"

"VAR is just utter bollocks. It's all over the place. Odd that we emerged on the right side for once. Enjoy it. Today was Bournemouth, not the bin dippers or the other lot next to them."

"Ron Eff 1:17 Tue Oct 25 fraser 1:17 Tue Oct 25 Cheers gentleman. Every day is a school day, as they say."

This direct assist thing is a load of bollocks. Checking the past 30 seconds or something would be a better way to do it.

"Correct, handball is handball if the referee see’s it, which he didn’t. The point is that VAR can’t give that decision, as it can now only only rule handball where it deems it to directly lead to a goal. In this case, as a Bournemouth player clears the ball, by the letter of the law, it didn’t directly lead to a goal. One will go against us like this too, it is what it is. It’s designed to stop going back a minute or more to a handball in the build up like they used to. I’m in favour."

Intentional handball or not isn't it a case of the ref missing it and VAR can only ajudicate the phase that led to the goal. The ref missed it so VAR can't get involved...

"Ron Eff 12:50 Tue Oct 25 But an intentional handball gets called in whatever phase of play. Correct? Kehrer was moving that basket he made towards the net intentionally in my book. The ball may not have hit is hands intentionally - had them close to his body. But the intentional movement of those hands kept the ball moving a lot more than if it had hit his chest. I guess there is some weird wiggle room there but its an intentional hand ball to me. Still you take the good, you take the bad."

"Whether you agree with the rule or not, VAR was unable to intervene, because as soon as the Bournemouth defender clears the initial header, it becomes a new phase of play and is deemed the handball didn’t directly lead to the goal. Had the first header gone in and not been cleared off the line, it would have been disallowed. Its a rare occasion VAR was correct not to intervene."

"After the Chelsea game, we deserve every VAR decision that goes our way I know two wrongs don't make a right but fuck everyone else, West Ham is who I care about when it comes to football."

That's a complete contradiction hermit

"Apparently the very capricious VAR gods think we should be in the Premier League more than Bournemouth That said remember who Callum Wilson played for when he pulled off his ""touch of magic."""

Hermit you don't understand the current rules then.

It was good for 2 goals for us tonight. I thought the first should have been disallowed and the second was never a penalty. Result.

I thought Mitrovic was going to get booked for diving once the ref saw the replay.......

"Douglas Luiz' red card overturned at Fulham. This is after the VAR bod looked at it, presumably a few times in slow motion, then recommended the ref to go to look at the screen, then inevitably the ref sends him off, so they both got it wrong, how?? You could even see that it was just chest to chest and Mitrovic went down like he was shot. This has become an utter farce now, is anything going to be changed or is this it now? The original decision not to send him off was correct, but VAR then steps in to completely get it wrong, and in turn doing the exact opposite of what it's meant to be doing."

"Have no complaints about the VAR yesterday. We had a couple go our way against Fulham, and couple against us yesterday. We still should’ve found a way to win, and we would’ve had we had a CF who could actually finish."

LiVARpool

"Incredible really that VAR picks up Haaland's slight shirt pull, and yet misses Soucek being hauled to the ground."

I have no idea what the excuse could be for the bear hug then judo throw on SOUCEK not being a penalty. Goes again to show the problem isnt VAR but just dismal officials. Suspect the one given last week to DAWSON (which was completely correct) has seen our card marked.

"Ron Eff 8:48 Mon Oct 10 I think there should be a time limit too, but the concern is as the VAR runs out of time he has a guess at the decision. Given the cunts involved in VARring, you can see that happening 1st time out. BTW, wanker Mason took far too long to give the NF penalty. Easy decision too...."

"Fully expecting some VAR related drama in our game tomorrow. We’ve got Peter Bankes reffing as well, not sure I’ve ever seen him have a good game."
