So this VAR bollocks can supposedly only be used in four circumstances:
1) Goals
2) Penalty decisions
3) Straight red cards
4) Mistaken identity
Can somebody therefore explain to me why we've just had a delay for the ref waiting for somebody to check the video footage of a nothing off-the-ball tussle before a corner between Chambers and Azpilicueta before calling both players in for a pointless warning?
The biggest problem with the whole thing will be that it is used completely inconsistently.

Had to laugh when he spent ages setting up that corner and had to be told to move it into the quadrant twice by the referee before then just passing it to the first defender.Natural Born Gooner wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2018 8:32 pmIs Granit Crappa able to deliver a decent set piece.....ever?

Xhaka has taken 3 corners now and is yet to reach the 6 yard box. Maybe in the 2nd half.....??
Dunno what it is but Conte just cannot set up against any shower Wenger puts up. His best team he can muster struggles against this rag tag mob of ours.
Btw has Wenger offered/insisted that he gets called up for the VAR assessments??

It's odd isn't it with Conte against us. He just can't quite seem to get the measure of us.xisstential wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2018 8:35 pmXhaka has taken 3 corners now and is yet to reach the 6 yard box. Maybe in the 2nd half.....??

We've got next to no creativity, aren't holding the ball up and are consistently shaky as fuck at the back, but so far Chelsea seem quite content to let this amble along at 0-0.

Seriously what a truly crap game...these games get hyped over the moon....and then you get this zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Been a good half opines Alan Smith...nice & pacy. Right, that's what I look for in my football..Pacy!!
Xhaka really getting the hang of those set pieces now.... actually getting them off the ground.

Moses has got nowhere near the ball?

Might be being pedantic but the ball doesn't have to in the quadrant but a part of it over the line, as in the actual ball does not have to touch the line.northbank123 wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2018 8:34 pmHad to laugh when he spent ages setting up that corner and had to be told to move it into the quadrant twice by the referee before then just passing it to the first defender.Natural Born Gooner wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2018 8:32 pmIs Granit Crappa able to deliver a decent set piece.....ever?

But yes shit corner although his next one was better and mustafi should have done a lot better with a free header.

39 minutes before the first home fans' rendition of "ARSENE WENGER, WE WANT YOU TO STAY".
The whole ground is singing it - we're a fucking laughing stock.

No his third was right on mustafis head and 6 yards out should have at least hit the target.xisstential wrote: ↑Wed Jan 10, 2018 8:35 pmXhaka has taken 3 corners now and is yet to reach the 6 yard box. Maybe in the 2nd half.....??
