Jesus I hate Walham Green with a passion,I really do.

Who doesn't but so far today is entirely on VAR and this excuse for a ref

My hatred for them is nothing to do with the ref and Var today.

[ron]

How about that for a pen on Raul?

[SP]

I think referees see themselves as the stars these days.

[SerbianLad]

Although I understand his frustration, needless card from Lukic there

[Sgt Fulham]

Corruption successful.

[SP]

They got a helping hand or two from VAR - Talksport.

[Grassy Noel]

Folk on Talksport seem to think that if Lukic commits 4 fouls then that justifies a yellow card.

Got him! Deserved it say Talksport who are over the moon!

[St Eve]

Marco ignored the ref

[ron]

You'll all tell me I'm wrong, but I still can't see ESR contributing anything to open play apart from the short back pass.

What about his goal in our previous match?

He perfected his back pass in this game though...

[SP]

Is the ref joining them on their lap of honour?

[SP]

Marco ignored the ref

Good.

Marco ignored the ref

The ref should consider himself lucky

[AustrianGeezer]

Controversional var decisions in all our matches this season

[bill taylors apprentice]

I'm a qualified referee (obviously at a lower level) and we are taught that we will make mistakes, just like players do but we must be consistent.

Today and all too often we see PL refs make mistakes and then compound them by being inconsistent, they may know the laws but they don't have a feeling for football.

OK Var interfered too much in some cases and not enough in others but today's ref was simply appalling, weak and incompetent!

[LittleErn]

I've said it before, but VAR should only be involved if the ref actually asks for its help. They should NEVER be able to call the ref to the screen and then influence him by making suggestions. I also think VAR should not show incidents in slow motion.

[legana]

Club need to kick up a stink here. Official complaints need to be made with requests that those involved in today's so-called officiating serve adequate bans and are blocked from any involvement in our remaining games. We won't get anything but the point needs to be made and shown it isn't accepted.

[SerbianLad]

I miss David Coote. He was actually one of the best referees in the league in my opinion (which, admittedly, isn't saying much).

[TC's Sporran]

poor scores for berge and lukic  according to google. 2.8 and 2.9/5

castangne similar and tete lowest of all 2.6

Have you watched the game? Berge and Lukic completely controlled the midfield and Tete and Castagne were really solid. In fact, pretty much everyone had superb games (especially in the first half).
