Wolves Banter

06 May 2024 14:44:15
Saturday will be my last game at Molineux as not renewing s/t. As a long distance supporter from Hampshire I find it increasingly difficult to drive and train fares have gone through the roof but the main reason is the fact var has destroyed the enjoyment of watching live. We always have to accept defeats if we play badly or face a better team but not by some twit at var who either has an agenda against Wolves or just incompetent. Given up counting the nonsense decisions awarded against us this season. Premier League trying to get rid of Chinese ownership maybe? Anyway enough is enough. UTW!

I sympathise 47. For me to travel from Dorset now is an expense to be considered. Coupled with my deep suspicion that events seem to be weighted against us. Why the conversations between officials discussing a situation on the pitch have to be conducted in secret gives rise to concern over the outcomes. Let's hear the discussion and views of the experts. We do in cricket and rugby, and no-one has died as a result. The PL and FA officials should be big enough to explain the decisions they make.

I see the press are at it again.

Joao Pedro is touted as a bargain as he's scored 9 league goal (4 pens) and got 2 assists on 29 games

Cunha is not as good as he's got 11 league goals (1 pen) and 7 assists.

They really do hate us don't they.

Let's be honest jas if you don't come from London (Brighton not that far from the capital) Manchester or Liverpool you don't really get a mention, unless your doing something exceptional, (Leicester 2015). Even the vile don't really register in that sense. The press know where the selling points are and sadly Wolverhampton dosnt feature much in those areas.
Having said that, and maybe due to my age, I find that everyone still has a 'soft spot' for us due to the successes of the 50s. No doubt that's now being forgotten and unheard of by today's youth. So, as with Ipswich Burnley Southampton etc we'll always be second placed newswise.
To be honest I sometimes prefer that, it makes winning away at Chelsea even sweeter for example.

The sooner the SKY and TNTSports bubble bursts the better imo, not only was City given a penalty that should never have been given a handball by them wasn't even looked at.
I echo what others have said the sooner the protected 6 go to a super league the better for football as a whole.
It's pathetic City are good enough to beat us they shouldn't need help, goes to show the so called big 6 aren't as good as they think they are.

The PL are clearly utilising VAR as a means to control outcomes of games to favour the big clubs and ensure their involvement in Europe. The mid table also rans like us are there to make up numbers and provide a semblance of a competition. I wish the big six would nail their colours and depart to a European league, and allow the rest to compete on a level playing field in a real competition without the interference of VAR.

I don’t believe in this conspiracy but rather think it’s just total incompetence to be honest. Yes the first wasn’t a pen but the second prob was. Semedo was poor in his positioning and as soon as he makes a challenge and makes contact you know it will be overturned.

05 May 2024 23:37:54
vbwolf, you're right. But the fact that the ref gave the 1st penalty had a detrimental effect on our players who knew from that moment that the decisions were going to go against them. The fact that VAR cleared the refs decision proves that the officiating is at an all time low.

Look, we all know that the Premier League is corrupt, that is without doubt. It would be weird if any organisation or entity that produces gazillions of pounds / dollars /euros and extras floating around was not! But why does Haaland keep picking on us? Also our two best players i.e RAN and Cunha both chose to have shockers! Thought that Semedo was excellent, might be a late shout for Player of the Season! FWAW .

04 May 2024 23:08:27
I don't think they had shockers. The fact that Gvardiol ran into RAN after getting his shot away and RAN ends up being penalised might have knocked his confidence. Cunha didn't get the ball played to him because our players weren't allowed to make any sort of contact with Man City players without conceding a free kick.

I don't mind losing but for the ref to dictate the outcome is an absolute disgrace. VAR needs to go. It has taken all of the enjoyment out of the game. It is not correcting mistakes, it is confirming mistakes made by incompetent referees.

Pawson and Atwell need investigating.

05 May 2024 06:56:43
I thought we were looking quite organised and ready for what we knew would be a tough game until the first pen decision, then there was a resignation of the 'forces' being against us again and no matter what we did we wernt going to get anywhere. The head drops and the morale is taken from you. The effort is sapped and concentration goes. Mistakes occur and you hand the opposition chances that they won't fluff. All 5 goals were as a result of A. Var/ref then poor effort awareness by us. Its pretty clear to me that VAR is dictating outcomes directly and indirectly. Scrap the system now and let's get back to game that can be be debated not dictated.

The sooner we get a super league the better. Bin these untouchables off and start making the league competitive again like the Championship. City are a good side. Their bench cost more than our squad, but once you're playing against the Ref, VAR etc the outcome is predetermined and it's just a matter by how much. Once the first penalty was given we gave up. it was never a penalty in the first instance but I think all the injustices over this season have finally got to our players and TBH who can blame them. For me another hollow victory for the elite. I'll also add that I don't expect City or any of these 'elite' teams will get punished by the PL for FFP breaches. In short this league is quickly becoming a joke. The best league in the world! If it continues in this vein it'll just become a laughing stock.

05 May 2024 10:22:33
Agree. It already started before the game with the O'Neil banned and choice of VAR and on field ref. After the first pen we all know where it was going. And I think the players knew it to.City should be good enough to win a home game without this rubbish.

05 May 2024 10:57:18
The MotD team said it was a ridiculous penalty. Gvardiol had already got his shot away which was going high, wide and handsome and then during his follow through, made contact with AIT. How exactly did AIT stop a goal scoring opportunity considering the attacker had already fluffed his shot?

Well at least we know for next season that against the Sky 6 we'll be playing 11v13.

Rubbish Jas. Micah Richards said it was a penalty. Remind me who he used to play for.

Micah Richards showed his impartiality yesterday.
