Lovely gesture from Bristol City by the way...

 

[CornwallBlade]

The one thing that should define the difference between PL and Championship is the pace of play, ball speed if you like. We simply are demonstrating that.

 

[Tonepone]

Possibly harsh, but definitely correct

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

Poor lad didn't deserve a red as well!! Game's gone

 

[Nine Inch Nalis]

BILLY SHARP SCORES PENALTIES

 

[CornwallBlade]

That demonstrates what a shitload of shite the rules are - red card? Never

 

[Tonepone]

Poor lad didn't deserve a red as well!! Game's gone

Always been the rules for stopping a goal

 

[BettingBlade]

Maybe commentator hasn’t done his research. He said the kop would be full of fans on a night like tonight.

I’d be surprised if they even opened it.

 

[Suomi_Blade]

Never would have spotted that penalty and red card without VAR.... i almost feel dirty saying that!

 

[originaltrueblade]

Their defender smiling he knew he’d handled it good spot by VAR (I still hate VAR THOUGH)

 

[FATTYFOULKE]

I’d be well peed off if I were a City fan...

 

[Iceybabey]

Bit harsh on the lad I think. Penalty yes, but I would have just give him a yellow.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Just need to get Brewster off now. I feel sorry for him

 

[BettingBlade]

Never would have spotted that penalty and red card without VAR.... i almost feel dirty saying that!

That’s exactly what it’s there for though. No ones complaining about stuff like that. It’s all the other bollocks that comes with it. They should have just kept it simple. Even only looking at penalties would have been preferable for the time being.

 

[100% part time blade]

Surely THIS is when Brewster has to get himself a goal. 1-0 up. Against 10 men. Playing a championship side. ...

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

Bit harsh on the lad I think. Penalty yes, but I would have just give him a yellow.

He’s saved it on the line. It’s 100% a red

 

[essexblade73]

Been the rules as far as I can remember. Use ur hand to save a goal and you are off

 

[Swinton Blade]

Can't wait for the Fuck VAR comment by a Bristol City fan on 'Veiw from'.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Their defender smiling he knew he’d handled it good spot by VAR (I still hate VAR THOUGH)

The thing with VAR is that it almost always make the right decision in accordance with the rules.

Fans are nearly always biased and don’t accept decisions even if it’s on camera.
You can bet that most of the Bristol City fans will be complaining about our penalty...saying it was never a pen.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

I don’t understand how it could be argued that it’s not a red. You might as well say you can never get sent off for handball if that’s the case

 

[FatPaul]

I'm gutted for the lad if I'm being honest. Don't feel a red was necessary.

 

[fireblade]

I’d be well peed off if I were a City fan...

Bet they don’t mention it on Roy’s view. Welcome to VAR Bristol.

 

[BettingBlade]

I don’t understand how it could be argued that it’s not a red. You might as well say you can never get sent off for handball if that’s the case

It’s not even denial of a goal scoring opportunity. It’s a denial of a blatant goal.

 

[essexblade73]

Either brewster needs time to settle in or he is shite. He's making Laurens Ten Heuvel look good

 

[Greg.]

Been the rules as far as I can remember. Use ur hand to save a goal and you are off

Yeah has to be a red, otherwise there'd be a incentive to use your hand to stop a ball that is definitely going in if you only get a YC for it (as only about 80% penalties are scored from memory).

 

[Nine Inch Nalis]

Bogle's covered a hell of a lot of ground tonight, always involved.

 

[ZLB]

Turns out Bogle is a better forward than Brewster. Poor kid.

 

[Iceybabey]

I reckon Bogle and Bash combine better without having Lunny pushed out to their side.

 

[nickwr37]

We ain't finished yet but come on RB lad. Net one for us and you. Goal anytime at 7/2. Backed.

 

[Drunk blade]

Brewster just closed his eyes for a header

 

[Tonepone]

Almost an argument to just

Yeah has to be a red, otherwise there'd be a incentive to use your hand to stop a ball that is definitely going in if you only get a YC for it (as only about 80% penalties are scored from memory).

Should give 'penalty goals' like penalty tries in rugby for cases like that
