Scott: Chelsea should be down to 9. Not even a question about it. Both straight reds. VAR is having a shocker, getting beyond a joke now

Oliver Camp: Usually steer clear of the VAR conversation but a game and a half into the weekend we've had that rubbish Bamford offside and two missed red cards for Chelsea here today. It's not glowing stuff, is it?

 

You literally replied to me 8 minutes earlier that neither were Card worthy offences.

You get some abuse on here Tom which is usually unfair, but if you cant even have consistency in the same chat, what hope do we have for consistency from refs out on the pitch?!

 

Yes, the referee is at fault for not spotting an offside. It was really tight and was the AR's job.

 

I think both were worth yellows, but that is not car's gig

 

Swap Redmond and Minamino.
Redmond can't finish but has looked decent a little deeper today, Minamino has been the opposite

 

Shows how some fans are ****ing clueless when it comes to the laws of the game.

 

ref has been the 12 man for chelsea, if we manage to win this, it will be performance of the season.

 

Yeah, I meant to put red card.

 

With Tom on this one. Neither were a red. Kante was probably a yellow, but there we go.

 

He’s been fine.

 

So .... poor refereeing again ..... and Kante? Why don’t we get decent refs who protect our players?
As someone else has said, I’m waiting for when Oriel goes in like that. Guarantee that the card can’t come out quick enough .....

 

I missed a word. I meant to put red card in my original statement and not just card. My bad.

 

Every single match thread there is a heated debate about officiating and Tom is always at the heart of it!

 

First one not a yellow IMO as was off balance after the Romeu foul.

Second yellow all day long IMO.

 

Okay. **** VAR

 

Referee's can't see everything. He's had a decent enough game.

 

Hudson Odoi for Abraham

 

He’s right on this though. The ref has missed a yellow, the AR has missed an offside. So what? We’re all calling for the end of VAR, so those small mistakes will happen. He’s not had a bad game.

 

When even the BBC are saying we are not getting fair treatment, you know something is ****ing ****ed some ****ing where.

 

Giroud on later to score then .....
