Questionable / Marginal Decision Count For and Against 16:29 - Oct 27 with 10191 views | ibbleobble | KM said there’s no point reflecting on questionable decisions as they even out during the course of the season. Let’s keep this thread going and add to it as the season progresses to see where it nets out: AGAINST: 1 - vs Man City: Sam Alisson awards a free-kick for a Davis foul on Savio. VAR overrules and awards a penalty, which Haaland converts (VAR official: David Coote). 2 - vs Man City: Sam Alisson fails to award a penalty for a trip on Davis in the box (VAR official: David Coote). 3 - vs Everton: Michael Oliver awards a penalty for a trip on Clarke but VAR overrules it (VAR official: Graham Scott). 4 - vs Brentford: Lewis Smith awards a free kick and yellow card for a foul outside of the box but VAR overrules and awards a penalty, which Mbuemo converts (VAR official: Peter Bankes). 5 - vs Brentford: Lewis Smith awards Clarke a second yellow for a foul on the edge of the box and sends him off (VAR official: Peter Bankes). 6 - vs Leicester: Fatawu bundles Chaplin over in the box in the 77th minute without making an attempt to win the ball but Tim Robinson and VAR fail to award a penalty (VAR official: Stuart Attwell). 7 - vs Leicester: Phillips leaves a leg out as Pereira clears the ball and a second yellow is issued by Tim Robinson and Phillips is dismissed despite looking to pull out of the tackle seconds after the penalty failed to be awarded (VAR official: Stuart Attwell). 8 - vs Nottingham Forest: Szmodics leaves a leg trailing in the box and despite minimal contact, Jota makes a meal of it, goes down and VAR doesn’t overrule Matt Harrington’s penalty decision (VAR official: Matt Donohue) 9 - vs Bournemouth: Burgess heads the ball into the net but Michael Salisbury blows for a foul, an infringement by Delap when there seemed little to anything in it. No VAR intervention. (VAR official: Paul Tierney). 10 - vs Newcastle: VAR intervene in an offside call after Isak scores and after a 3-minute delay overrule the lineswoman’s decision allowing Newcastle’s goal to stand despite the initial angle looking offside and the line call very marginal. A precedent was set earlier in the season with such close call in favour of an offside ruling. Referee was Stuart Atwell (VAR official: Craig Taylor) 11 - vs Brighton: Joao Pedro clatters in to Walton after he’s played the ball seemingly with no intention to avoid the clash, slow his momentum or pull out of the challenge requiring Walton to need treatment. A yellow card was brandished by Tony Harrington when many feel it should have been a red (VAR official: Michael Salisbury). 12 - vs Aston Villa: Referee Robert Jones issues Tuanzebe a yellow card for a foul on Rogers after clearly winning the ball. The yellow is later followed by a second yellow, reducing the side to ten-men.(VAR official: Michael Oliver) FOR: 1 - vs Liverpool: Burns on a yellow deliberately handles the ball on the ground when contesting possession with Jota but Tim Robinson fails to see it to issue a second yellow. 2 - vs Villa: Morsy tackles Onana and goes over the ball and despite being on a yellow card, gets away without a second yellow from Stuart Atwell (VAR official: Darren England) 3 - vs Chelsea: John Brooks awards a penalty after Delap goes through on goal and despite a stumble and the ball running out of play, he’s caught by Jorgensen whilst getting back to his feet and goes over for a penalty upheld by VAR (VAR official: Michael Oliver) [Post edited 16 Feb 6:02]

Although the yellow card he got in that game was a result of Morgan Rogers kicking the back of Morsy's leg. We now know that should have been awarded to us as a foul by Rogers. |  | |  |

This is a list of all the wrong or very controversial decisions though. As you say, today’s was pretty clear so it doesn’t make the cut. |  | |  |

It’s more that it didn’t warrant a sending off than a VAR intervention and it changed the course of the game. |  | |  |

To actually do this properly, you’d need to consider if you’d add it in a vice versa way. Yesterday’s penalty was annoying, but very much a penalty. If that had been Chaplin going down, I doubt you’d have put that in our FOR column. |  |

I agree - we might not like it but the penalties for Man City and Forest don't deserve to be on the list - they were both sadly clear penalties. Does Jota make a meal of it - absolutely; but there's no denying Szmodics made contact. The yellow to Cajuste shortly after was a much more egregious decision. |  | |  |

The penalty for City was over turned by VAR so it goes on the list given they stepped in to correct a decision in favour against us. The penalty for Forest could easily have been overturned as a free kick and a yellow for simulation but it wasn’t so that stays too. The title is “marginal decisions”. |  | |  |

You’ve included the City penalty on the basis it was overturned but earlier on the thread refused to do the same for the Tottenham one that was overturned in our favour Those other posters are correct, there’s no consistency with your list and a few of the decisions against were ultimately correct. We’ve undoubtedly had some bad luck but skewing the list in this way completely undermines that argument |  |

No, it “easily” couldn’t. There was contact and it was given on pitch, so it was never getting overturned. If the analysis is that biased, this thread is pretty pointless, sorry. |  |

Questionable / Marginal Decision Count For and Against on 08:08 - Dec 2 with 4382 views | bluefunk | While the decisions were debatable numbers 5 and 7 against us and 1 for us can’t be reviewed by VAR, they don’t review bookings. Your original point still stands however. |  | |  |

I didn’t mean to say “over turned”, I meant to say could have been given the other way for simulation. As I said, the point of this thread is to collate “marginal decisions” whether VAR or not. It’s hardly pointless given we’re 9-1 down and KM said at the start of the season, “these things even themselves out”….they’ve got a long to go to do that! It’s also not weighted to show bias, merely to catalogue the seasons marginal decisions, whichever way they swing for an objective viewpoint in May. [Post edited 8 Dec 2024 19:30]

I don’t recall a Tottenham penalty being over turned. Point me to it and I’ll add it if it was a marginal call whichever way it dropped. |  | |  |

In the Tottenham game we had two decisions go in our favour. The first was when VAR intervened to disallow Solanke’s goal for handball. The second was VAR reviewing a possible handball against Davis and deciding it was not a penalty. I haven’t seen Bournemouth’s penalty appeal in the first half back (from which they hit the post from).VAR didn’t intervene although Bournemouth thought it was a penalty. |  | |  |
