Very telling there, Fernandes scores and not one bit of emotion from Tan Hag, no celebration just nothing but a stare, very strange.Quote:

Perennially under-rated.
Not annoyed, :faf: and it was the correct decision, i've said that all along, a clear offside that the officials seemed determined to pass the buck onto. When do you think Fulham or Bournmouth will ever have the ref called over to the monitor to check an offside decision?Quote:

Why is VAR used for offside if they are not going to make the decision on offside?
No point asking me about VAR, I hate it. I honestly thought it would reduce the amount of debate but it hasn't even come close to achieving that.Quote:

The game should be geared to helping goals stand, not searching desperately for reasons to chalk them off. It's one of the main things we go to games to see and the doubt should always benefit the attacking team IMHO.Quote:

Again it's caused confusion when there was no need, they gave offside and had no reason to get the ref involved, they dont normally invite any ref over for an offside decision ever.
You've got the bit between your teeth on this one.Quote:

And we think our league might be corrupt. The refs literally work for Newcastles owners down south.
And what about Havertz?Quote:

Haha that rant is almost as funny as Arteta's interview after the game. Another meltdown at St James for him, glorious.Quote:

I think the ball “being out” thing is massively over blown. They can’t prove it was out, it’s not outQuote:

Now I couldn't tell you who any of them are except maybe Craig Gordon. Mind you I'm not sure I'd recognise many of our lot in the street to be honest!
National League Chesterfield 1-0 up and looking comfortable against League 1 leaders Portsmouth here.
