Solid survival job after going down to 10 players. Our players need to learn some discipline and stop acting so immature. Learnt nothing in this game about our tactics and stuff. Scrappy win
Referee and VAR performance was horrible
That was the most farcical bit of football I’ve ever seen at the end there. Absolute clown show.
Most calm Chelsea game
What a shitshow
VAR called the ref over for an onfield review when it clearly hit Levi’s head
They then gave a freekick to Chelsea when we should have had a corner
Caicedo should have been sent off
What the fuck is this
He gave the penalty onfield (without much conviction) then the VAR review was to overturn it, which is why they started with a drop-ball
Ref & Var ball. What a shit show
What the fuck was that VAR drop ball in the end?
I am no longer enjoying being Chaos FC
My heart cant take it.
VAR official: “yo, come watch this video. This guy gets totally nailed in the face. So funny…. Wait what were we doing? Um… do a drop ball.”
That VAR no penalty = no corner situation was complete bullshit.
Following the BBC Sport minute by minute has shaved a few years off.
That review for hand ball… is the VAR official insane?
Again this shows its not the system, it’s the morons using it.
Terrible game from Pawson. Last ten minutes was a joke, especially the penalty and subsequent drop ball bullshit. Not to mention not giving a clear second yellow to Caicedo earlier
Best refereeing performance
