It doesn't take a genius to work out that my comment was directed at how VAR is changing the emotional impact of the game to the detriment of spectators.
Noted, I extrapolated on the sentiment probably, given earlier comments made. (See below).
I certainly didn't mention that we were 'robbed' and that's just something you made up to then argue with yourself.
I seem to have confused you with one of the other Chelsea fans’ comments earlier on. Sorry for the confusion on my part leading to an inaccurate conclusion.
Rather than whine like a baby
Language please, I’m not using derogatory terminology either.
you should instead be questioning why it is that Ajax have bottled it in the final couple of minutes of their last 3 games against English opposition. As for your sympathy, I don't want it.
Honestly most of that came down to sheer luck. Away Ajax should have scored more goals against Tottenham, some very near misses there when Tottenham was completely played off the matt. Ajax lead against Tottenham for what was it, 162 minutes? Maybe English teams should wonder how come a team with in comparison such an incredibly small budget can outplay them that long?
Tottenham got very lucky with two goals in the home match (poor coordination between Schöne and Onana gave a free shot a meter from the goal) and well... the amount of stoppage time given was also rather... much. That said, Tottenham’s strategy wasn’t really good even then, it all boiled down to throwing the ball deep, hope it is picked up and someone can shoot before Ajax picks up and attacks again. It worked for Tottenham, but it required a lot of luck and was relatively easily combatted for the majority of the match.
As for the two games against Chelsea, both results are completely down to the refs. Chelsea’s single away goal wasn’t that odd and if it wasn’t for the refs would not have been sufficient to win. That you might get a goal against when playing a team that has a - how much higher budget again? - shouldn’t be a surprise. But it should be a surprise that your goals are mistakingly disallowed.
Regarding the last match “against an English team”, 9 players with as many shots on target as your team during those 25 minutes. What else is there to say? They did very well, more than can be expected from a team down by two players. The real question is how come Chelsea allowed them to advance so easily to their goal despite of it?
Maybe you should focus on how come you got kicked around till that point, instead on dwelling on a result from a free victory - sorry, a mere draw - that virtually any team should have gotten against 9 players with twenty minutes left and just one goal behind.
I mean, it is just two unguarded players and an opposition team that has to work in the middle of a kick-the-ball-around training session for a long time... Ajax was robbed by the arbitration of a potentially epic victory that might have send Chelsea into a crisis, clear and simple. Does that sound bitter? Sure, because it is.
Just think of the knifes in the headlines had those two, or just one had not been sent off. I wouldn’t have been surprised had Ajax won by 3-5 with ten players. Ask PSV how playing ten Ajax players worked out for them.
