I cannot moan enough about how shite the officials in this country are. On the pitch and VAR are a total joke. Its fucking so many results each week. If the FA were to do anything other than sump money it may actually improve the game.

Ziyech should have been booked for the tackle from behind on Richie, then a second yellow for the violent conduct.
And then a third one for being a rat faced little shitbag in a built up area

Another absolutely embarrassing performance from the officials in a Premier League game. Everyone else on the pitch gets held accountable for a poor display, why do the officials get away without explaining their poor performances? Not only the Ziyech incident, which regardless of if it was a red or not, was a convoluted mess, but also throughout this entire game Stuart Atwell has been over indulgent with stopages and it has barely been a half of football with how many times he's paused the game.
Royal????
But he not get yellow for original tackle?
Could have been a second yellow but I think that’s a weak red. Somewhat a matter of interpretation, but he clearly pushes him on the shoulder first, and then his hand slides up and happens to catch him in the face a little bit. These guys push each other all the time. Did not look like a deliberate hit the face to me at all.
I thought we were owed one by VAR from the West ham game where it was blatant handball and no pen, are we owed 2 now?
Wouldn't mind seeing Danjuma for 30 mins or so in the second half, seems like a player who could cause them some problems.
It’s straight red all day long. Emerson is yellow fir barging him/provoking him. Why can the referees not follow and apply the rules properly?
VAR is corrupt as fuck.
It's basically the same as all those talent shows that have phone ins to pick the winner.... But then the final decision is the judges.....
It's there to penalise teams that aren't in the good boys club so that they can always get punished and then at the same time get the darling teams off the hook.
Basically it's there to ensure that the Premier League have as much influence to get the result that they want.
It needs scrapping

Yes VAR are allowed to tell the ref to review a decision.
At the very least, it’s a 2nd yellow. Ref had the yellow out… it was clearly for the foul.
After that, Emerson gets a yellow for bumping into ziyech, but ziyech gets no penalty for scratching him in the face.
PL is a joke.

Sterling may be off his best, but I want no part of him running at Porro.
I thought he got a yellow on the tackle. Then a second yellow for the slap.
Wait till Ziyech scores and gives it to the Spurs crowd 
He was going to before it all kicked off
Chelsea is not in a good form. The problem is that we are not either. We don't know what to do.
