He should be fired and not allowed to work in any league in the UK.

So who’s taking his place? Some dude that had the weekend off?

Oh that’s ok then. I’m sure that makes it all better now for the Fulham players and fans . No real excuse for a professional VAR to cockup that badly

What about the other 4-5 assistant referees who had him go over to the monitor. They're a team. They should have a week off as well.

As a Fulham fan, this sticks in my craw. Doesn't do anything to actually remedy the injustice, does it? It's always the big glamour clubs that benefit, time and time again.

You're absolutely right. PGMOL is ruining the game.

I'd ban him for the season.

A lot of good that does Fulham now. I still can’t decide what mix of corrupt and incompetent Webb and PGMOL are. I used to think 10% / 90%, but I’m not so sure these days.

Scum. Investigate this twat for gambling.

Corrupt shysters the lot of them. They will find a way for City or Liverpool to win the league. Always do. How is Howard still the head? He is just as useless when he was a cop.

The actual ref on the pitch was the real villain of the piece.

It just feels like refs in England are deliberately trying to ruin the advantage of VAR. Maybe not let active refs decide the laws and rules of the game? They're not the ones playing. They're just there to enforce the rules. Cops aren't supreme court judges outside fiction... 👀

Why would anyone think PGMOL would change this season? They have their scam well set up and protected so they can practice their incompetence (corruption, bias) with impunity. Coote was the sacrificial lamb only because that video emerged.

Sooo no problem with Robert Jones allowing +1 corner when the injury time already run out, and no problem with the penalty shenaningans altogether. Only was this decision leading to disallow the Fulham goal was the single biggest refereeing blunder of the match. Fuck off, PGMOL, seriously.

Absolutely shocking decision, that. The on pitch ref should have said "no thanks, I don't need to look at that again", so he should be stood down as well.

Ref had the chance to overrule VAR, where’s his punishment? PGMOL protecting poor performances from Refs again won’t bring any change.

Rewarded with a day off, is it?

Match fixer that’s why. Seriously you lot need to run a report or investigation on the current corruption in football in this country. The games unbearable at times.

It’s times like this I wish my name wasn’t Michael Salisbury.

This is no longer about individual refs. The Prem needs to get their shit together. Howard Webb must go! Can't believe the clubs are putting a billion dollar product into the hands of an amateur. What has Webb achieved to make anyone confident he can lead a high performance" organisation. Get ridd!!

Does he like miss a day of pay? How does their pay work, if they’re just on a salary he’s basically gotten a paid day off for doing an awful job?

PGMOL are a joke. Fulham should sue

So blame the nob head who made the shit decision. What about the clueless twat who listened to him, watched numerous reviews of the situation and then spinelessly just went along with it. Both as bad as each other.
