Sorry to be rude, but frankly I couldn't give a toss about the important metrics. From about the 10th minute to the sending off, it was all Ipswich. The game turned on a stonewall penalty not given, followed a few seconds later by one of the softest double-yellow cards I've ever seen.


It was all us, but we didn't create enough whilst on top.

VAR is awful. I wish it wasn't in the game.

But equally, I'm sure you were like me in mocking the budgies online when they complained VAR was against them every time they lost etc etc.

The bigger problem is we don't create enough and we concede too many good quality chances. In 95% of our matches.

Every team in the league hates it, it’s not just us, we can’t continually blame everyone but ourselves for being in November and having zero wins!

You're broadly right, but I felt today was a more encouraging performance than the Brentford one. after a shaky first 10 minutes, we got on top & were looking more like scoring a second than conceding, but unsurprisingly the red card changed everything. Defence was more solid, Muric had a decent game, although Davis was beaten at will by Fatawu. Johnson also put in a decent shift & 2 good performances from Chaplin now. Hutchinson looks far more at home on the right.

I wish VAR wasn't part of football but it is.

It's not the reason we have zero wins and now in November though. Even today against the next worst side in the division statistically (just above us) we came out second best in most of the important metrics.

Yes I'd agree compared to Brentford. It was certainly more controlled and we didn't break out of shape chasing balls as much. How much is us vs quality of opposition is a slight doubt for me.

Thanks. I have now seen the replay you kindly posted on Twitter & yes, that will be given as a foul anywhere else on the pitch so yes, why didn't VAR look at it?
Unfortunately, VAR seems to be the home of random injustice, but most fans ignore the occasions when that works in favour of their team.

So far this season, var has only influenced things against us.

The problem is, we're 10 games into the season, but I can't think of a single instance where VAR has worked in our favour.

But I can point to plenty that have gone against us.

Your crappy little stats is not understanding football.

If it is then I give up.

Anybody at PR today knew we were good for a 1-0 win. And that happens hands down with 11 men.

Put that in your little computer.

You better let the likes of Pep and Klopp know

Also give Brighton, Brentford and Co the heads up as they base their entire recruitment on data and stats.

Look, we can all be emotional and in the moment. It's what makes football great.

But yet again we didn't create enough good opportunities when on top and we are too easy to create against, although I accept predominantly this was once being reduced to 10 men.

But on a per game basis we are the worst performing team in the league. Our results aren't going to change. The same performance today against most of the league unfortunately leads to a similar result.

I’d ditch VAR in an instant. We’d still get dreadful decisions like today but I’d live with the odd refereeing howler not to have the passion ripped out of the game.

VAR has not improved the decision making in the way people assumed it would. And it is certainly ruining the fan experience.

It’s just the love child of pundits who forensically analysed refereeing decisions for the benefit of armchair punters who never attend matches.

However, the clubs had the chance to ditch it and they didn’t want to. Wolves tabled the motion last summer and only they voted to scrap it. The other 19 Prem teams at the time wanted to keep it.

So the next time you hear Arteta or Guardiola moan about corruption or Howard Webb and his cronies, feel no sympathy for them. They’re the ones inflicting this s**t on the rest of us.

Try watching a game pal. Should have been a penalty and potential 2-0. Instead we lose a man, get booked for everything we do in the next 15 minutes, get VAR reviewed for a penalty against us (proving they were in there somewhere) and just keep playing until they equalise.


Clearly the ref was on a promise from Lineker to get his balls tickled tonight.

You remind me of Oscar Wilde's definition of a cynic - “someone who knows the price of everything and the value of nothing”.

Really no penalty? I’ve watched it a few times now he was definitely shoved out of the way.I’ve seen them given for less.
