    It’s good to see other clubs complaining about PGMOL. They’ve been piss poor on “the best league in the world “

    What has changed with Hwang? The kid has become a legit threat in the EPL after subpar and inconsistent club performances in the Bundesliga and EPL the past 3 years.

    Wolves fans ready to join us in our protest at the Premier League being corrupt?

    This is what it looks like when the PGMOL decides that they’re going to make you lose your job.

    I stopped watching NFL a few years ago as I got tired of officials single handedly deciding the outcome of games. I’m wayyyyy past that now.

    I don’t need the anger or the frustration or the negativity in my life. I just don’t.

      I reckon they are testing the waters on how my much they can get away with until everyone goes crazy and they back off. Then in the future they get payments under the table for bigger games and bets.

    Let’s run this down shall we?

    1st pen: Given despite no contact. 2nd pen (Hwang): weird to see a pen from a yellow kit, cool. But that’s a second yellow and Ream should be off. 3rd pen: yes, a pen. Unfortunate as Gomes wasn’t even looking, but whatever. The egregious mistake is that Fulham shouldn’t be on this side of the pitch because Vini should be off on a red.

    So, to keep score: that’s two goals that should happen and two players that should be off the pitch.

    Gross.

      one more thing to add is if the first Fulham pen isn’t clear and obvious enough for the monitor, then how is the second? I’m happy in a world where there’s no var checks, or the var checks at least consistently give the ref a chance to go to the monitor. if you’re so confident in your referees to make the right decisions then let them have all the facts.

    1st penalty given after that one angle conclusively shows that he touched the ball and didn’t step on or trip Cairney. Hilarious stuff

      Honest question, what is the relevance to him touching the ball? Romero clearly touched the ball and got sent off against Chelsea…

      Is it just the force of Romero’s kick? Because just touching the ball clearly didn’t cancel his foul

        Touching the ball is usually the biggest factor in a tackle being fair or foul. In this instance, he touched the ball and made little to no contact with the player. That’s just a clean tackle. Romero caught the player high on the follow-through with his other foot, if I remember correctly. Reckless and forceful is always asking for trouble. Getting a touch on the ball doesn’t give you licence to take everything anymore.

    Nah this is ridiculous, Wolves has been absolutely shafted yet again by VAR, it’s cost them so so many points, and I feel awful for O’Neill, he’s done a much better job than the table would suggest and even then wolves are in a good spot, he should go scorched earth, he’s got the decisions against him to back it up
