Who can believe something that should be 'fixing' the game has broke it to unreal levels...... I don't even believe it's swings and roundabouts anymore, it's just fecked.
Premier League Gameweek 3
- Thread starter matys
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
So who was it?
Can’t even take solace in a Jose meltdown. We all know these rules are eventually going to cost the sides we support and in bullshit circumstances.
A red is for a game or two suspension?
If you get a straight red card in a PL fixture that should mean you'll miss the next PL game but no. They had to piss around with that basic rule too.
No. Christensen played yesterday because he served his suspension in the league cup. It wasn’t Kane anyway.
Would love the jose reaction 
.
.You would think? But with us I won’t be surprised if we lost 3-1 to them.Kane red card and Son injury.Our match against them should be in the bag.
What the difference between spurs finishing 6th or 7th
Seriously they should have killed that game off Newcastle offered nothing up, classic Jose shades of united days settling for goal up ended up a draw.........far too many of them games in the league to be fair
BBC say it was Kane.
Bruce Masterclass?
This rule along with var has murdered football.
isn't a straight red for dissent 2 matches?
VAR is stupid. But I like watching Jose lose his shit.
Had his hand above shoulder height. No sympathy.
The rule needs changing but they madethe correct call based on the current rule. No point blaming the referee etc.

Most of their fans on their forum are saying they missed ton of chances to kill it. Didn't watch the game to comment though.What the difference between spurs finishing 6th or 7th

Can’t remember such an outcry from commentators during our game against Palace.
Everyone needs to calm down.
dissent is a two game ban, but it wasn’t Harry Kane

Nothing to do with VAR all they do is apply the rules.
Apparently so actually. Seems it wasn’t Kane anyway.
Never mind I forgot they are playing Chelsea next and it's probably gonna be a 1 match suspension since it wasn't bad behavior I believe.
BBC employs shearer
Brilliant. I hope every Spurs player saw what their manager did by abandoning them
and unsportmanship by Jose. How can he leaves the pitch while his team is still playing! That is not a sign of team player. You don't like the decision, but you stick with your players till end. I don't like one bit when managers abandon their players and leave the pitch.
VAR and new penalty rules are just sucking the fun out of the game. Has happened with united twice, once in our favour one against. I mean hate Jose as much we do, but how was that a penalty, he wasn't even looking at the ball.
Sky have Souness.
Who got the red ?
This line of thought is ridiculous. They’ve adjusted rules specifically for VAR.
Thats a slippery slope. Defenders can learn to be crafty and simply look away while innocently extending their arm in the way of the ball.
what difference does Dier not looking at the ball make?
Intent isnt important.. Arm was out. It was a pen by the current interpretation of the rules..
If this wasn't.. neither was the Lindelof one..
I am waiting for almost all saved pens to be retaken because the keeper stepped out as well.. it'll be hilarious.

They can just ignore it after a month. Remember the respect rule and shirt pulling in box. They were rampant on those first few weeks of a season and then they forgot. But obviously harder with VAR.
Dier knew little about that handball. I thought the new rule doesn't give penalties for that?
Jose must be punching the dressing room wall. They will be well fired up for the Man United match next week now

Yep. People are happy about this, but it is inevitable that it is going to happen to us at some point. I can see it happening a few times also with how easy it is to get a penalty.
The funny thing is VAR was brought in to correct bad decisions, but these decisions are worse than any of those ever were.
Sacremento i think
I’m sure they made adjustments during the early part of last season. But I may be remembering it wrong, anyways it’s a Fifa directive now.
I need to see this penalty decision.
Fair enough both shire hah
VAR doesn’t make its own rules. Under the current rule “hand above shoulder height” it’s a penalty.
Heated debate in the NBC studio
who got the red
