Soccer (Closing)

Terrible time with my stream, kept crashing. Can any sympathetic person help me out in my DM’s? Please and thank you.

Very nice of Colwill to cancel his goal celebration midway despite being his first goal for his boyhood club. Don’t think anyone on Brighton’s side could hold that against him if he instead went full throttle.

Fucking shit ref, thank fuck for VAR

One normal game Chelsea... Is that too much to ask?

In what world was that a drop ball?

Craig Pawson deserves to never ref again

What the fuck was that VAR call?

It hits him in the head, 0 reason to send Pawson to the monitor.

Also WHY THE FUCK DID BRIGHTON NOT GET A CORNER?

Travesty.

Dat wuz a.

Sanest prem league referee performance

Pawson pointed to the spot in real time. It was very subdued but it happened. It’s why he comes back from VAR and makes the VAR motion to change the call and why it’s not a corner. Play stopped when it hit Colwill and the ball technically never goes out

Wtf was that colwill "handball" var situations at the end 🤣

Somehow they can’t even get the basics right. Ball went off Colwill, long VAR check, somehow that’s a drop ball

Baffling

Seagull pack

We played horribly. Up a man for an entire half and only scored once. Yes, the refereeing was insane, but we have to play better

Is ugochukwu injured

Can anybody explain why it's a drop ball?

Brighton about to get an apology. What an absolutely dog-shit referee.

All sorts of weird, pen wasn’t given, ok but what happened to the corner ? Didn’t it go out of bounds from Levi’s face.

Refs continue to make people despise them more at 11.

Thank you VAR for not letting the Brighton cheats off the hook

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

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 review for hand ball… is the VAR official insane?

That was not a pen at the end obviously, but Colwill got super lucky with his arm up like that

When will the second half of ET start?

Poch is the right guy for this situation. Mess of a club but he's come in and kinda steadied the water for a bit.

I hope chelsea can keep a good consistence performance. Looking forward to the match vs United.

Embarassing officiating today

Brighton properly fucked.

Brighton couldn't win against 10 men defensively susceptible Chelsea for more than a half. They were going down the whole game very easy winning fouls against Chelsea. Had they stayed on their feet maybe they could have won. Chelsea I would say were lucky to get a win because their opponents chose to do simulations instead of playing football.

Can't believe we didn't completely throw it away

How have you managed to give a goal kick after Colwill got pummeled in the face?

Another VAR and referring disaster class.

Brighton got hosed ngl, shocking performance from the refs yet again

What a truly, truly, truly awful officiated game…

I am no longer enjoying being Chaos FC

My heart cant take it.

Would love to know what VAR were saying for the handball.

I still have no clue what happened in the last 5 minutes of that match.

Tim Howard is a pathetic analyst. Dude is mad Chelsea are celebrating a win and that the ref gave a clear pen. How he has a job is a mystery.

Expected to lose coming in epically with the lineup but now it feels shit because we threw things away, knew Milner shouldn't have come on just can't deal with pace at all.

Mitoma getting back to his best I thought very electric just no one in the right area to find his crosses.

Brentford at home midweek is a must win if we want to actually challenge for a European spot this season.

Finally a good use of VAR

With the injuries, the short turnaround time from Athens, the 11 selected and playing away from home, proud of the boys for staying in the game until the very last minute. RDZ and this team are putting together something special, we go again Wednesday!

Will be controversial but I think Pochettino can be very happy with his team. They basically only allowed one proper goalscoring chance to Brighton (who like to have a lot of possession) while playing with 10 men for an hour. They also converted what they should have converted, which is rare for Chelsea.

Also, anyone has any idea why Milner didn't get a red card? If it's a foul, he's the last defender so it has to be DOGSO And therefore a red...

is this the kind of shit pl enjoyers watch each week xd

Cocks out boys! Dub has been sealed

Ok, can anyone explain why the restart was a drop ball, and not a corner? No penalty was absolutely the right call, but the ball did go out for a corner.

For all you idiots who refuse to learn the law of the game, Pawson's initial decision was a penalty. VAR saw it was a clear and obvious error hence they told him to check the monitor as VAR cannot make decisions themselves. Pawson checks and sees its not a penalty. Play restarts with a drop ball for the keeper as per the rules of VAR reviews.

Pay up Di Zerbi that's what you get for complaining 🤣

Giving a drop ball instead of a corner is just another illustration about how poor the standard of officiating is.

A monitor check for a clear header. Then taking away Brighton’s corner. This is league embarrassing.

EDIT: Apparently Pawson gave a penalty on the pitch? Guess I (and the majority of the sub based on confusion here) missed that. Weird that no one on the pitch / stadium reacted to the original call either.

I need somebody to post the 'handball' sequence from the end of the match, sounds hilariously bad reffing all round
