Angriest threads

  1. LEE 1–1 BREMW2 · penalty · LEE fans felt wronged83
    “Brentford are flying right now. Absolutely relentless. We barely held in to a 1-0 in the first half, then Farke made the right changes. That plus a very lucky non call for what was, to me, a stone cold pen. Happy to get …” · 23 upvotes
  2. NEW 2–2 BOUMW3 · penalty, red card · NEW fans felt wronged78
    “Take that all day long the way we started. Bournemouth are a good team and Scott was unreal. Ref was f***ing ghoulish. Take the point and keep going” · 35 upvotes
  3. MUN 0–1 MCIMW4 · offside, red card · MUN fans felt wronged75
    “Firstly, the red card. I see no world in which Bruno's action was anything more than a yellow (which was missed) and no world in which Foden's action wasn't a red. Secondly, the goal. Enzo clearly tried to play the ball …” · 1 upvotes
  4. AVL 0–1 ARSMW2 · penalty, red card · ARS fans felt wronged71
    “Worst ref i've seen in years. Maatsen and McGinn were allowed to do whatever they wanted.” · 626 upvotes
  5. SUN 0–2 ARSMW4 · penalty, red card · ARS fans felt wronged67
    “1. Bulls*** pen gets saved 2. Bruno scores a screamer minutes later 4. 3pts in the bag 3. r/soccer in tears Beautiful Saturday evening” · 222 upvotes
  6. LIV 2–2 NFOMW2 · penalty, offside · LIV fans felt wronged54
    “Genuinely a remarkable series of decisions that led to the penalty. We should be playing better but it is a total farce how bad PGMOL refs can get on days like this.” · 47 upvotes
  7. ARS 2–1 CHEMW3 · red card, penalty54
    “Great game from both sides. Sucks to lose again. Caicedo was sorely missed today; David Raya was immense for Arsenal. S*** ref on both sides” · 528 upvotes
  8. BOU 1–1 EVEMW2 · penalty, offside38
    “About the penalty not given, one thing is whether you think it is a PK or not. The other is the entirely laughable process, assuming the broadcast accurately reported the decision. It is amateurish to communicate a decis…” · 29 upvotes
