    You called PP "clever". Why would he be clever if he was genuinely fouled? :rolleyes:

    He drew the contact from the defender. Its not complicated.

    It is a kind of game that I feel Villa could still even win 3-2 at this stage. Seems open at the back on both teams

    Except there was no contact. He tripped over himself. Not complicated

    How do VAR fall for players tripping themselves for penalties. This is beyond crazy now .

    A CLOSER LOOK@????????


    BUT IT WAS AS CLEAR AS DAY WHEN IT HAPPENED.




    I DON'T GET IT , HOW VAR GIVE A SELF TRIP


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 6,239 ✭✭✭This is it


    I didn't see it live but looking at the above accounts the Villa player nudges Pogbas leg as he's striding forward, causing Pogba to trip himself. I'd call it a foul.

    nO.
    It's an old trick, we've all seen it before VAR came in, it's a way to win a penalty , trip yourself. But here we are with VAR and they still fell for it .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,244 ✭✭✭Unearthly


    Villa have improved so much from last season. Comfortably finish top 10

    You boys are constantly bemoaning your own players being too honest, PP made the most of it for sure but it was a foul and a penalty.

    Pogba has arms all over Villa player, Villa player has hand resting on his arm, Villa player never kicks pogba, or drags him down.

    Pogba feels an arm resting on him and kicks himself

    This is what happened. Infuriating for a defender as they're trying to do the right thing but a tangle of legs and that's what happens. Be a free anywhere on the pitch

    Really think people here musnt ever play football themselves. Someone can very easily make you trip yourself like Luiz did to Pogba, there wasnt even 1% of play acting from pogba there, he genuinely tripped himself after he was fouled.

    very wasteful tonight from quite a few very promising positions

    wrong thread

    Pogba literally told Shaw to dive a minute before he did himself, You could clealry see him shouting and pointing at the deck to Shaw after ge made a break into the box

    Can you point out the foul. I'm looking at Luiz's legs, no trip there, I'm looking at his arm, no drag back.
    All I see is Pogba tripping himself and falling down as if shot .

    but thats entirely irrelevant to the penalty decision.

    Watch the two Twitter videos, it's as clear as day to me. Right leg nudges Pogba's left leg causing him to trip himself. Clear foul in my opinion


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38,751 ✭✭✭✭BorneTobyWilde


    VAR has been corrupted. That's my only conclusion, it's independence has been compromised .

    Luiz leg that Pogba brushed off is on the ground first,
    His leg was planted Pogba kicked him amd then himself

    Yeah, there's definitely a big conspiracy, that's the logical conclusion. Not that they actually thought it was a foul and gave it as such

    So people can't be bought? It's shocking what we do know, but it's 100 times more shocking what we'll never know .

    Doesn't take long for the RAWK-esque posts to come back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 8,244 ✭✭✭Unearthly


    I bet the var guy gave Cavani a 3 match ban when he heard about the Burnley game as well

    He's a sneaky conspirator that Var guy
