Brighton 2-1 Leicester post match

[TheUltimateWinner]

Don’t expect any admission of fault from the PGMOL.

 

I’m sure their review meetings of incidents is just them going “GREAT CALL MATE WEL DONE” even when it’s at odds to what the footballing world thinks.

[blue blood]

What a joke. That's on the refs and var. Bloody joke. 

[CosbehFox]

Can someone let me know when the IFAB were encouraging the 'benefit of the doubt' being stood a yard away from a keeper wasn't included? FFS

 

You've had a linesmen there make three decisions and at no point does VAR step into correct

[NaijaFox]

WE GOT ROYALLY SHAFTED BY THE REFS... 

 

But frankly should never have been in the position but for that abysmal first half. Long season shaping up.

It’s only positive if he realises now he needs to bin Maddison, get Lookman starting and get Ihenacho involved from the start of games. He must, must have now realised that today after that second half performance?!

Jesus mega wank

How shit is Maddison? 

Only for the last 9 months

[Deeg67]

How about starting a decent team from the opening whistle instead of forfeiting the first half?

[FoxOnWheels]

Shocking what a shit start to the season

[lcfcdamo]

1 world needed in this game cheated

It’s going to be a long time before I’m that disgusted with refereeing decisions going against us in a one game. It was disgusting. 
Our performance, both tactically and collectively, in the first half though was woeful. BR has to take some criticism for that. Still, though we had enough chances to win. 

[Ted Maul]

It's a big positive that the penny will have dropped that we're actually a good side when we have the ball in the final third rather than our own half. 

[5waller5]

Someone needs to explain the rules of football to me, because after watching that I haven’t got a clue.

 

Disgraceful. 
 

There’s only one thing “clear and obvious” and that’s incompetence

[bfox]

You normally get the benefit of the doubt next time at least when they make a howler against you but not here, not the next time, not the time after that either 👍. And the awful thing is, they weren't really even debatable, Barnes 3 yards clear of his view both times. He wasn't getting anywhere near it. 

[Tielemans63]

I am so angry it's unhealthy 

[Onions]

Woeful again, we’re lucky to have 6 points this season, it’s going to be a long year.

[Jonezy]

I threw my mouse and broke my screen when Bertrand did not get a freekick for a full on push minutes after that pen decison. Spent most 2nd half calming down and go buying a new screen. (Yep, I am a dumbass....)

 

So we finally played some decent football after going 2 goals down? 

 

What I saw first half was massively frustrating. Slow slow passing out from the back and losing the ball constantly inviting constant pressure. We looked 2nd best yet again. But take it we improved after going 2 goals down and could have got something?

 

Dud start to the season to say at least. Meh.

The only positive from today - ademola lookman.

And Ricardo!!! 
 

I also think soumare looked good.

[Bourbon Fox]

Positives:

* Early change

* Lookman looked very exciting

* Barnes is going from strength to strength

* Vardy on the scoresheet again

 

Negatives:

* Apart from the bright start, a terrible first half

* Vestergaard doesn't look the player that we hoped

 

A draw would have been a fair result but would have left us bemoaning that awful first half. 

The decisions were enough to make you pack in and start watching some other sport.

 

Edit: Ricardo was immense

I'm just fuming how he set us up from the off again. Leaves a mountain to climb and when you have crap refs, you can't leave it to chance!

 

Positives in the second half but means nothing without points on the board.

 

Cynically, I'm fully expecting Maddison to be in from the start against Burnley with Kel/Daka on the bench. That's the way it goes

We said the same thing last week LOL.

[It'sblueupnorth]

What the **** is Barnes thinking for the second disallowed goal. Absolutely brain dead, say what you want about VAR but a mixture of Rodgers first half team selection and Barnes cost us a result today. 

[HighPeakFox]

Stop bleating about cheating and corruption, you have no evidence for it.

 

What it is, is literal, dogmatic application of the laws of the game. Allied with incompetence.

Sadly it looks as if the VAR decisions will distract us from the inability of Rodgers to select the players he should in the first place.
