Why the fuck were 10 mins added to this game???
Another VAR and referring disaster class.
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.
It wasn’t a corner because the ref called for a penalty before the ball went out of play. That got overturned, so they gave a drop ball - even though the ball would have obviously gone out of play, the game stopped when the ref blew the whistle.
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
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.
If you don’t like chaos that gives you a heart attack, you don’t like Chelsea football
Kinda weird seeing brighton fans complaining about ref when they were going down easy and winning soft fouls whole game.
Most Chelsea matches have just been fever dreams as far as I’m concerned. Don’t think I see as many strange and weird events in other matches - not talking about incorrect or controversial - just weird.
The ball hit Colwills large head, obviously it wasnt a pen but why did he give Chelsea possesion? It shouldve been a corner to brighton after the var check.
When will the second half of ET start?
Chelsea has got to be the most entertaining team in the world right now for all the good and bad reasons lol
Step 1: Complain you don’t like 75% of the league refs.
Step 2: Decisions go against your team.
Step 3: Act shocked?
Terrible time with my stream, kept crashing. Can any sympathetic person help me out in my DM’s? Please and thank you.
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!
