None of them will count if the refs have their way.We'll get our chances on Saturday anyway against these
Ball had long gone but yes that too should be a penalty in football but for some reason you're allowed to murder a player in the box if the balls goneAbsolutely a peno but didn't Vic absolutely wipe out a Brentford player yesterday and no peno given
Maybe fans need to start protesting about it. The broadcasters and papers seem to have completely abdicated responsibility for holding the officials to account properly. Nothing will ever change and it’s clear to me that things are getting worse not better.The saddest bit is officials never have to explain it, we don’t hear their decision making process, there’s seemingly little to no comeuppance for horrendous decisions, and it means we get these ridiculous, woefully inconsistent refereeing performances.
If you call it out as a manager, you get a fine. Appalling.
I don't really get that though. If a player passes a ball and a players comes in with a late challenge after the ball has gone and wipes them out, it's a free every single time.

This was in the contest. Absolute stonewall penalty. Shocking decison
