How do you feel about the decision now the VAR audio has been released? 😬

What was the correct decision? Goal, no goal or penalty? 🤔

reubengane5183d ago

Arteta and his Arsenal team are Masters of the Dark Arts and got away with it against us.

firemantrippy184d ago

Should have been a penalty to West Ham. Clear as day when you look at all the angles.

reubengane5185d ago

Referee Kavanagh was clueless, he was nearest to the incident and should have stuck to his decision to award the goal, he should have refused to go to the screen!

Just watching carrager and abandon ship jermain defoe talking about calvert-lewin penalty and how great it was. Did they never see Ray Stewart take a penalty. Always unstoppable. Hello !!!!

reubengane5185d ago

Ray 'Tonka' Stewart scored 76 penalties out of 87 taken, a great defender and one of our outstanding left backs.

Where you nervous when DCL stepped up? I couldn't watch!

Nothing can change now - but what do YOU want to hear from the PGMO?! 😳

I want to know why Rice on Dinos was ignored! 😡

mhutch63186d ago

They looked at it for best part of 5 minutes , how can they not see the challenges on West Ham players prior which could have been a penalty

jim.bradley49185d ago

they only see what they want to see ...

jonathan.gorrie186d ago

Painful, isn't it? Just wish we all knew where we stood

grahamwatts187d ago

A few years ago referees had an edict to clamp down on penalty area wrestling. They awarded quite a few penalties, free kicks and yellow cards in early games. Result wrestling stopped. Arsenal started up the problem again and under current non intervention approach by refs have effectively won the League by doing it! Thanks god no VAR in Championship!

jonathan.gorrie186d ago

Yeah that lack of VAR in the Championship really is a (relatively) comforting thought 😂 Still, hope it doesn't come to that...

alan.mayo51187d ago

Why would anyone listen to what Dermot Gallagher says? I've seen him on Ref Watch. All he does is support the refereeing mafia, justifying decisions by process rather than fair and objective judgement. That is the problem with referees in general. They can't see the wood (real culpability) for the trees (the process and rules they are expected to follow).

jim.bradley49185d ago

Mike Dean says it was a goal !

jonathan.gorrie187d ago

There was a bit of debate as to why Rice wasn't punished, so was perhaps worth looking at some kind of explanation. Clearly, there are much bigger issues afoot here - you are right!

chillout187d ago

Clattenburg is more honest - I agree Dermot never seems to want to go against his buddies.

With Leeds now safe they have nothing to play for tomorrow night ☹️. We did well today but it should never have come down to needing a result against Arsenal, we gave ourselves too much to do when playing so poorly in the first half of the season ☹️.

jonathan.gorrie188d ago

Yeah, while I'm annoyed about the goal, its 2/3 years of being run so poorly that have got us here

How many points have Arsenal won from overloading the six-yard box at set-pieces this season? It’s the hypocrisy of it all, there’s just no consistency. It’s a joke.

jonathan.gorrie188d ago

Think this is the thing. How can it be one rule for one team and another rule for another? Painful

duncan.scott1187d ago

They did it to Utd twice in 1 game and they got away with it... no consistency.

Hope we get over the line but next year is a rebuild if we are down, sad to see decent players leave but the kids must be stepping up. Kante Marshall look made for Championship

jonathan.gorrie188d ago

Yeah its going to be a big summer. Do hope that the next generation are largely free of the misery the last few seasons have been. Kante could be great!

dantowen81951188d ago

It’s a bit early to be saying this maybe, but it would allow a potential reset and the chance to drive the wages down

Sum up your feelings on that result if you can... 😢

Heartbroken is an understatement! 💔

cpaynter77183d ago

Bringing Pablo on before Wilson is a joke. Wilson poses more of a threat in 15mins than Pablo can in a whole game.

ray.baxterct1951186d ago

In the cold light of day, with a clearer mind, going back to the outset of the game and continuing through it, my initial thought was wrong team selection.Then, as the game continued Fernandez should have scored,Drossard should have been marshalled for the goal,Pablo wrong sub,Todibo too aggressive for the ref,Taty should have stayed on Wilson on too late.

ray.baxterct1951186d ago

What became of Traore?😟nobody has mentioned the reason he was not in the Frame.

mtwyman317187d ago

We are going down!We was very unlucky that goal Callum Wilson scored 95min only to be disallowed for foul on there goalkeeper but what about an arsenal player holding on to one of our players surely that was a foul too Michael

jamesshearman23187d ago

There was so much holding going on! The PL has a massive problem with set pieces

chriscoulson34187d ago

Heartbroken doesn't even go close! Why do we always give away late goals?

jamesshearman23187d ago

Has to be a mentality issue - I don’t know how you fix that 🤷‍♂️

chillout187d ago

Resigned to the inevitable

yogitedmax187d ago

I was amazed that VAR said they looked at 3 fouls. One on the keeper one on mavrapanos and one on Pablo who had his arm in the air being pulled over. They gave it for the first foul on the keeper but surely the first foul would be on Pablo and that's why his arm was in the air. VAR need cameras above the goal. No view from the goal line camera? Why not?

jonathan.gorrie187d ago

This is the issue, isn't it? It's fine if we all know where we stand - but it's the picking and choosing that frustrates

igrimshaw01188d ago

It was awful refereeing. When will referees go with their original decision? Dinos, Tomas and, I think Bowen, were all being pulled about before the Raya went up for the ball. Gutted!

reubengane5188d ago

Robbed again, how many fouls were there on Hammer's players in the melee follow the corner Souchek was hauled down and Declan Rice's foul on Mavrapatanos was a penalty, didn't the Var people spot this and allow the 'goal', Wilson must have been gutted and should have been brought on earlier.

callum_boyle187d ago

Nail on the head. I was screaming at the TV. How can they focus purely on Raya, who didn’t have control before the arm came across him anyway, yet completely ignored Declan Rice stopping Mavropanos in his tracks

dodkins2000188d ago

Should have had a point they did us proud

laurajr1958188d ago

Absolutely heartbreaking. When you're at the bottom,all the decisions go against you. Really feel for all the players. They gave their all.

jonathan.gorrie188d ago

I'm gutted for them too. What a cruel way to lose.

alan_mayo4188d ago

I wish we had been relegated weeks ago rather than having our hopes raised by this false dawn, only to have them dashed in the end. It was pointless and prolonged suffering with no end product and it has just cost the club £millions in paying off managers.

jamesshearman23188d ago

Do you think it’s all over then?

chillout188d ago

nick.tydeman188d ago

You've got 2 remember, it's the big 6, so they get every decision going!!

jonathan.gorrie188d ago

Almost impossible to imagine that going against Arsenal isn't it?

jakewhu188d ago

Absolutely gutted. Didn’t think we’d win but to lose like that, robbed!

jamesshearman23188d ago

Can’t believe they actually disallowed that 🤦‍♂️

alanjarvis08188d ago

Its heartbreaking to see a loss now when the team are leaving everything on the pitch, but it was last year the damage was done...at least we are showing passion and spirit now, let's just pray a safe Leeds smash Spurs tomorrow night. Its not over yet !

dantowen81951188d ago

I actually thought we were excellent today. We posed a threat and limited them to pretty much nothing apart from the goal

jamesshearman23188d ago

Do you think Leeds being safe already will free them up? I’m concerned they’ll half-arse it now 🤦‍♂️

lankiebd188d ago

Completely robbed! VAR has ruined the game. Corruption at it's finest

jonathan.gorrie188d ago

At least next season there will be no VAR! That's something at least, right?

anthosladomatos184d ago

Joke refs,joke VAR

brianbetteridge0308185d ago

We were robbed the referee should have let the goal stand as arsenal had five players holding west ham players as the sun on Monday showed fa should overturn this and give both teams one point each

ray.baxterct1951185d ago

My view is ,the ref gave a goal,he should have had the balls to stand firm on the decision.Instead he bottled it and let Arsenal crowd him out of it.VAR is there for guidance, not the law.On the field of play he is the boss(that's not a joke)He was afraid of repercussions.West Ham are not important enough in the scheme, it goes against the script.-SEETHING!

bradchadwick47185d ago

Obvious foul so correct decision by the ref. The keeper has to be free and unimpeded to do his job in goal so an opponent cannot impede him like that. I know it's not always paid, but it should be always paid. Other similar fouls have been unpaid throughout the year, but that's what has been wrong, not this decision.....this decision was absolutely correct.

ray.baxterct1951185d ago

Not obvious,Raya wouldn't have stood a chance of getting the ball ,it was far too high.He did what he was trained to do, just get in the mix and hope to be fouled, basic Arsenal tactics, it's what they do all the time.

paul.evans.23422186d ago

You can just see that being given if it was down the other end and the comments would be the goalkeeper needs to be stronger

richardmills19300186d ago

Shame but was foul ref missed rice hugging Dino someone pulling Pablos shirt and player grappling tobido

hippymac186d ago

I may just be seen as a 72yr old woman who knows nowt about football but having been a staunch Hammers fan since my youth I can even explain the offside trap😉 So forgive me if I'm wrong but I thought VAR is only supposed to be called upon when the Ref requests their opinion & NOT for VAR to otherwise jump in willy nilly🤷‍♀️Enough is surely enough!!!

jonathan.gorrie186d ago

This is the thing with VAR! It's supposed to jump in when it's clear and obvious, and then alone. You're right about the confusion of it all. Would love to see it scrapped, but you can't unring a bell 😂

wncrnvsnyc187d ago

It’s not a foul remember the goal agains Manchester United arsenal player do the same things referee make the goal count same action with united goal keeper now how come west ham goal don’t count if Wilson score make it count he deserve the goal I’ll never forgot about this goal arsenal team is not the best club in the world referee don’t stole west ham goa

jamesshearman23186d ago

The Man Utd example is very similar! There was another one against Emi Martinez (Villa) as well. I can’t believe Arsenal keep getting away with it 🤦‍♂️

trebligtrebmiar187d ago

Arsenal are the ones who causes much obstructions to goalkeepers and they have scored so many goals in doing that. now they claim foul play when it's their turn to be obstructed. I remember Alisson suffered same problem and the goal was not disallowed. I think it's the inconsistency decision of Refs that is in cause

wncrnvsnyc187d ago

Yes last time against Manchester United same action the refferee give arsenal goal even is a foul on Manchester United goal keeper arsenal don’t deserve the trophy

jonathan.gorrie187d ago

Exactlty right. The inconsistency is what is so infuriating

chillout187d ago

Clattenburg okays with a straight bat. I don’t see a conspiracy.

npg9187d ago

It was VAR that first questioned the goal- the ref actually gave it until their intervention. No argument from me for the ref- plenty of questions for var and why did Pablo have to hold Raya's arm? Would have definitely had a penalty but for that.

jonathan.gorrie187d ago

Yeah, great point. Pablo did not cover himself in glory, even despite the ongoing VAR debate

amirmir187d ago

Arsenal do this all the time, yet no foul given, that's the problem...

kevinbradley60187d ago

With the amount of pushing (holding) etc and teams continually getting away with it from set pieces,why are West Ham THE team that doesn't get the benefit the doubt. Also from this set piece Declan Rice can be seen just about rugby tackling Mavropanos but this was not even discussed and it was by far a more serious fowl. I'd like to hear Pep's take on this

jonathan.gorrie187d ago

It does feel very harsh, even if the correct call, that this all of goals was the one ruled out

jameslfb1968187d ago

Wrestling in the box has become prevalent and acceptable throughout the season. Nothing said by refs or media, all of a sudden its foul play. Sad for the Hammers.

callum_boyle186d ago

Goalkeepers given far too much protection. In the same clip it is so obvious that Mavrapanos and Souček are being held back. Why wasn’t that analysed?

stevenrcollins1187d ago

There was two fouls on the arsenal keeper Todibo had hold of the keepers shirt but arsenal players were commiting fouls all around the box rice in particular holding Mavropanas tp prevent him heading the ball(in most games a penalty to the attacking side)The FA really need to look at the ruling regarding the grappling etc going on before a free kick/corner

jonathan.gorrie187d ago

Yep! Feels like we've got ourselves into a right old mess when it comes to what happens in the box - across the league as a whole

jim.bradley49187d ago

not suprised he had his arm out Trossard was wrapped around his waste shoving him over as he tried to jump to head the ball ... but no the Ref dint see that one !!! apart from Rice didnt see that either ...

ray.baxterct1951187d ago

In the still photo Gabriel wasn't interested in the ball, he was too busy twisting Pablo's shirt as well.

jim.bradley49187d ago

STINKS !

gingergonk1187d ago

It was foul, but it’s the inconsistency that has helped kill us this season. (Potter has alot to answer to). All season we have had decisive decisions go against us, and this is yet another one. It definitely confirms my conspiracy theory of how this league is crook.

ray.baxterct1951187d ago

Thanks ginger I am not alone then

callum_boyle187d ago

But then if you watch the replays back you see that Rice has his hands all over someone and stops them in his tracks. No consistency at all

ray.baxterct1951188d ago

Just a question-WHY the claret shorts and socks? Did they forget to bring their own kit? My view was, they were taking the p***.

ray.baxterct1951188d ago

Or was it to cause confusion in the box?

ray.baxterct1951188d ago

COME ON PSG!!

jonathan.gorrie187d ago

ray.baxterct1951188d ago

What about Number 19 preventing Pablo jumping higher?It was totally ignored by the excuse of officials.--By the way does anybody remember it's the 20th anniversary of Everton's escape from relegation(2-0 down, came back to win 3-2)in the last game of the season.Wimbledon goalie got £19,000 for throwing the game.

callum_boyle187d ago

Rice had his arms wrapped round one of our lot too, yet that was just brushed aside to protect the goalkeeper. Ridiculous

ray.baxterct1951188d ago

If anyone has read my previous posts on the subject, you'd know I'm disillusioned with the corrupt nature of the VAR system.Faceless unaccountable individuals who are in control, There ought to be an enquiry into the validity of outcomes of clear, unfair, one-sided decisions. Sour grapes?YOU BET!

bw490410188d ago

The big 6 always get the rub of the green 🤬😡🤬

kwaylen188d ago

What about rice holding mavropanos with both his hands around his waist so that he couldn’t jump in the area ? That was a definite penalty that VAR decided to forget! Football is so corrupt nowadays too much money involved so the richer teams always get the big decisions COYI

cairdyrw188d ago

Totally agree Rice should have been red carded with his antics and a penalty awarded Arteta jumping up and down slapping his are I just hope they end up with nothing.

sc7sjrychj188d ago

2 CLEAR fouls BEFORE the ‘Apparent Foul’ on gk. But that’s not even a foul in kids football!

jonathan.gorrie188d ago

Yep, I'm with you. Just a complete lack of consistency

poppyzen3188d ago

Hate to say it, but it's a foul 😞

jamesshearman23188d ago

It is but the same thing happens at every set piece. Arsenal would have scored 10 less goals if they were always given!

jakewhu188d ago

jonathan.gorrie188d ago

garyjohnwoodhouse188d ago

Mavropanos fouled soukek fouled but uet again whinging arsenal get the decision. If it takes nearly 9 minutes for a clear and obvious error to be determined then its not clear and obvious robbed ⚒️

jonathan.gorrie188d ago

The lack of consistency is the most galling thing. Blood boiling!

jakewhu188d ago

Even if it is a foul on Raya there is so many other fouls on our players at the same time.

jonathan.gorrie188d ago

I think you're spot on here. Whether it's correct is irrelevant because it seems everyone has a different defintion of correct!

alanjarvis08188d ago

Pablo foul given, ok for rice to drag Mav down rugby style....VAR didn't spend time reviewing the foul, they spent time discussing the political fallout of giving the goal against not giving it...same old Arsenal, always cheating !

jim.bradley49187d ago

YEP hope City beat them now

jim.bradley49188d ago

Trossard was wrapped around Pablo's waste stopping him from jumping to head the ball ... OH ! VAR didnt see that though ..

swhitecrossuk8188d ago

everyone all over everyone in the box Dino being held Trossard not even facing the right way and holding Pablos shirt so he has to put his arm up to get height. Corners are a joke and where was Souceks pen last week at brentford, VAR is a joke

jamesshearman23188d ago

Couldn’t agree more! I think we all know Pablo was fouling Raya but when there’s 10 fouls at every set piece, you have to let it go!

The var people must have been in a plane at 35,000 ft to have given that incorrect verdict plus 17 angle views sorry I can't comment on my love life!

jonathan.gorrie187d ago

Interesting, I don't disagree in that it was the wrong decision as such. It's just the lack of consistency througout the season that is so annoying

brianbetteridge0308187d ago

I agree with jarred bowen we had players were held back in that incident declan rice pushed summervile and had both arms wrapped around dinos mavropanos so why did he get away with that and what about the penalty that var were looking into as in tossard interview he mentioned a var penalty but nothing of it fa should be looking into this as well

grahamwatts187d ago

After 36 games it's judgement on whole season and we are 3rd worst team in the league so have to face the consequences. A shame as from January we have been 6th on points accrued. A disastrous first half season has come back to bite us! The worst bit is we will lose all our best players as vultures already circling. Let's hope our youngsters can step up!

jonathan.gorrie187d ago

Yeah, I do like the idea of Kante in the Championsip to be fair. You know, if it has to come to that

theoriginalhayley187d ago

Fernandes.

theoriginalhayley187d ago

They did us proud yesterday! Think we fought with real passion and we deserved a point. Terrible substitution with Pablo! Wish he hadn’t done that - think it would have been a different result. 🤦‍♂️ Nuno has done a lot of good but these substitutions are damaging.

jonathan.gorrie187d ago

Would you have Nuno in charge next season in the Champ?

debham5850187d ago

MOTM? Who cares. Doesn't matter, the whole season has been a disaster, from players having a go when it was toooo late, all the way up to the board and owners. I'm looking forward to next season in the championship. Yes, we certainly have had some poor decisions go against us, but yesterdays was not one of them.

Whatever we do we are not good enough. Recently relying on our back to to nick a goal from a corner. When was the last goal the forward scorned Toure not the answer. Head down losses the ball position.

I think we have the ability to beat anyone in this league at home.We have not had the rub of the green it's true, we had Brentford on the ropes with 2 or 3 post hits and goal offside by a nose.Man City only drew with us from an unstoppable angled shot.We do have to learn accuracy without panic though.

I actually trust the backline to handle Arsenal, it's just whether we can do enough going in the other direction! Shame there's no Traore to bring off the bench!

Put Bowen back on the right wing where he's more effective, stick Traore just behind Taty where his battling strength would open up Arsenal's defence.

Truth is Declan Rice outgrew West Ham and wanted to move on to a club to match his ambitions for medals. Had he gone to Man City fans would’ve understood - but it’s the fact he chose Arsenal that grates.

I like the idea of Diouf at wing-back! Then again, that probably means we get outnumbered in midfield

Diouf is overated he’s not getting down the wing and putting crosses into opposition box like when he first arrived? And he’s defensively vulnerable we can’t afford any more mistakes
