Whenever people talk about conspiracy theories, refs and VAR committees being paid off etc, I always tell them to stop being silly, but increasingly we're seeing decisions that are so baffling that it's getting hard to find any other reasonable conclusion. :/
 
I think at the end of the day, I would understand if the ref had just given a yellow in the first place and play went on. We would feel hard done by, but that is normal.

To use VAR to overturn a decision like that... that's the part that stinks the most
 
Harry kane goal with Silva situation. Son red card. This shite today. We just never get anything going for us against this lot do we ?

Chelsea have been allowed to strike our players face twice, neither time resulting in a send off.

At the very least you could argue that Ziyech should be off for two yellow. Yellow for the initial foul and then a second yellow for striking out at Royal. Ref was going to give a yellow for the foul, and then gave a bunch of other yellows for shoves.

I don't think this can be viewed as incompetence given all the other things he was letting Chelsea get away with, it's got to be corruption.

Shocking stuff.
Hard to feel too aggrieved after Romero got away with the hair pull on Cucurella which led to our equaliser.

As blatant a red as you'll see.
 
I’d have to watch it all again. He pulled out the yellow straight after the foul but then started getting surrounded. So, did he just forget To give a yellow for the foul then?
Maybe he forgot, or maybe he wanted to give Havertz a yellow for swiping out. If he forgot it is embarrassing of course but importantly he didn't book Ziyech for his foul.
