Great news from pgmol that Howard Webb has apologized to Fulham for mistake made by var and officials for disallowed goal. Fantastic after the day after 5he event and costing Fulham a possible three points, as long as it helped chelscum on the day to a win. The referee and var officials should be suspended for incompetence.
posted by Sussexcol (Guest) - Sunday 31st August 2025, 1:03 PM What good is an apology? Hope it means these incompetent officials never darken our door again. Honestly believe the game should be replayed. We didn't deserve to lose and Chelsea didn't deserve to win so the 3 points should be quashed and game replayed, it's the only fair solution
posted by NRL (Guest) - Monday 01st September 2025, 8:26 AM

Bid decisions always go to the big teams especially at home , they always have . Referees are intimidated by large crowds . But VAR is administered by men in an office miles away from the ground with no intimidation , yet they over turn on field decisions by searching for possible reasons to aide the big teams. Maybe there is corruption when millions of pounds are at stake or is it a coincidence that the small teams get the raw end of the vast majority of these decisions.
posted by Brain Doctor (Guest) - Sunday 31st August 2025, 12:31 PM I think most people are castigating VAR not refs. The extra extra time in most matches is extended if something happens in extra time that makes it makes in necessary to extend. I did not see any such thing. When Chelsea took their corner the ref should have blown the whistle but he said to himself I might as well let them take the next corner or else the manager will complain. As far as their penalty is concerned, before Sess handled the ball, Iwobi has his foot trodden on, Anderson was pushed and a Chelsea player handled the ball. On another day we could have been leading at halftime and a young man on our side would not be feeling as bitterly disappointed as he must be now. Marco will do his best to get the player to move on from that travesty of a match but he will find it one of the most difficult things he has ever done as he feels the same as the players as does most of the media.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 31st August 2025, 12:56 PM That's because refs have no balls anymore, or are not allowed to have any. Remember Clive Thomas blowing the whistle as Brazil took the corner in 1978. They scored, he said no Boyo, whistles already gone. Can you imagine what would happen if someone did that today?

The automatic system that determines offside in VAR should be retained, nobody argues with that. Everything else should be scraped and the ref should be allowed to get on with his job mistakes and all. I cannot remember anything as bad as yesterday pre VAR. If a ref does not give a free kick or a penalty that should be the end of it.
posted by The Time Is Now - Sunday 31st August 2025, 2:53 PM It is also fun to moan about the ref, right or wrong. I know they say you can never go back but this is an occasion where it makes sense.

System broke down because we are chasing the game 2-0 down after a decent enough effort and that's football sometimes. I personally only want players who want to come to Fulham and i only know of one in the pipeline but i am confident there are more players that will jump at a chance to come to London SW6. It is a nonsensical myth that players would rather go to Newcastle and up north and players know that they can't all sign for the big clubs. I have nothing to criticise until after 1st September because the transfer process is a little bit more complicated if say a player is on a massive wage like say 300 grand a week. We all know that we can't afford that and agreements surrounding contracts will have to be sorted, thats all i know which isn't much. Marco Silva still looks up for it and he loves Fulham. Silva has tasted and sampled bigger budgets and clubs and it has never worked out in his favour. He is paid 6 million plus which is not the top wage but it still is a fantastic sum of money for managing Fulham. Marco Silva is fast gaining a reputation for getting the best from average players so anyone who comes to Fulham is okay by me under Marco...

Refs discretion that’s ok but seems when there’s not a corner involved they blow bang on time choice of refs questionable think this refs had his moments with us did not expect much from first 3 games so no disappointment on that front wish we could get some var luck hopefully ours season should get going in the next month still believe when we are on our game we can beat with luck anybody thought second half we was a bit subdued

Josh King's best game ever for seniors and he should be celebrating his first goal. I agree even without additional signings we look good enough. Muniz also brilliant in that number nine role and Traore with his pace put over the perfect cross only for Jimenez to fluff it for 2-1 and then who knows? Bring in Raheem Sterling for me, he will be decent at 30 years old and he wants to come which is a bonus...

Sometimes I wonder why I bother to follow our club, then spend a lot of money on a ST, when us supporters are being badly let down by the Khans. This season could be the last one, that bother to even follow our club, unless out of the blue, we suddenly make a couple of decent signings, but I am not full of any great hope, and it it is honestly making me feel very down at present.
posted by THE CRAVEN (Guest) - Friday 29th August 2025, 6:36 PM Craven, like you, I follow the transfer window on Sky, full of hopes that there might be a hint of a signing or two, but all that is mentioned, is the same old story, linking us with Kevin. From what we hear, he is certainly not worth the fee that they are asking for, but he seems our last hope. When I see every other clubs in the Premier League being involved in the transfer market, I feel really jealous, and I feel that our Fulham, are becoming a real laughing stock up until now. Even bees supporters, must be sniggering, and for once I can't blame them.
posted by Mr Optimistic (Guest) - Friday 29th August 2025, 7:03 PM It’s like the last days of the Roman Empire or Hitler in his bunker. Impending doom. With a bit of luck we’ll sign someone, preferably who’s name will fit on the back of a shirt and doesn’t look like someone has barfed up a scrabble set, maybe even someone we’ve actually heard of.
posted by Paddy O’Doors (Guest) - Friday 29th August 2025, 8:00 PM Wasn't having a moan about Marco, something just does not seem right within our club to have to wait to 3 days to window closes to sign anybody,all of us know that we are only 3/4 players from being a really good side.Are the Khans looking to sell as seems to be same situation as when MAF wanted to sell ?

It's possible that most players of any substance, want to join clubs involved in Europe, and of course we can't do that, and we can't even promise a fight for a top 6 challenge.

I thought Traore had a terrible game and Marco must have thought of getting him sold.
posted by The Time Is Now - Saturday 30th August 2025, 11:16 AM

We needed a Mctominay when he was available but for one reason or another we couldn't sign him and besides, the usual story from us was that he isn't good enough for Fulham. Garnacho would suit us much more than Chelsea i think because they have to many players but we cannot afford him and his wages. There are plaenty enough players out there especially from Chelsea and Man utd but we know the difficulty and dynamics in signing players from these bigger clubs. Give it a few days and we will have signings. Sterling looks to be one of them and this is the calibre of player we can sign on a free. We didn't have the worst start to our season and maybe we can gauge the situation a lot better up to Xmas and get in on the jan transfer if we are not where we want to be...

posted by The Time Is Now - Wednesday 27th August 2025, 10:17 PM After tonight's results, I'm so pleased that we didn't lose to Manure on Sunday, as we would have become a laughing stock, but on reflection we were quite lucky on one hand that we didn't lose, but on the other hand, we should have won, if VAR and Chris Kavanagh had done their jobs properly.

posted by Tonyjohn (Guest) - Thursday 28th August 2025, 8:40 AM When we play Chelsea on Saturday morning we must give them no respect whatsoever and pass and score them off the pitch so they get as much bad publicity as Man U did. These big teams must not beaten by little are the rules we must completely ignore to a huge extent. I have never wanted us to beat Chelsea more as I want this media definition who is great and who isn't nonsense must stop. Manchester United are very ordinary but when they lose to one of the "small" tems it is a big thing ignoring all the matches they lost last season to the "small" Clubs.

But, if Shahed Khan sells, it won’t be to “someone who cares”. That is just pie in the sky. It would be to yet another bunch of American investors who couldn’t give a stuff about the club, its fans or its tradition, they would just look at it as a money making opportunity. Criticism of the Khans is misguided in my opinion - they have done a lot of good things for this club, although to be honest this transfer window has been a disappointment to the fans and to Marco. Hopefully Tony Khan will manage to pull a rabbit out of the hat yet again.

Against Man U we produced a series and very dangerous set of free kicks and corners that United only kept out by skill and luck. If we get the three rumoured players on the last day we will have a very strong squad. They team we put out tonight will show how strong our squad is.

posted by Fact (Guest) - Wednesday 27th August 2025, 9:55 AM For me what he did “off the ball” as well as his work rate is his strength. He also created many goals for us and his final ball was creative in most cases. Agree his pen and free kick taken left something to be desired but overall the team was weaker without him in my opinion.

posted by Chief (Guest) - Wednesday 27th August 2025, 4:33 PM AP wasn't bad' bad' but let's say average. Pereira is in a long line of players Man Utd and Chelsea churn out and they never make top grade and we see this only after we buy. For the money we forked out for him i think on reflection, he wasn't too bad. I think we paid 8-10 million? And i think that is a fair outlay for a player of his ability. Now and again we find a gem and hit pay-dirt and i think the last player who performed for us above expectations was Mitrovic who Newcastle let go.
posted by OWEN - Wednesday 27th August 2025, 5:57 PM

Well said John, with Godo we have 23 players, until Pererra goes. Lets hope he is the only sale Two players for each position used to be the remit. No use desperately buying players that are not at the level of the squad we have. 3 new faces of the level we have would cost £100 mill, not going to happen. Perhaps all along the loan route again with players from clubs who are not playing and want a London base, has been the management idea, but please no more like Kamara. Really disappointed that Traore is just a bit part player, while we are looking at Nelson. If the management put their plans for the team on paper, perhaps Marco Silva should have gone to Specsavers

posted by Percy jones (Guest) - Tuesday 26th August 2025, 8:13 AM Marco has always shown his emotions during games. If anything, he appears to have made a decision not to become so angry and shout his thoughts to the nearest official or microphone. He is clearly biting his lip now, giving not so controversial answers to reporters questions. (Not so controversial, but not so interesting either!) Frankly, I thought he had every right to be angry at Man U’s tactics during set pieces: corners and free kicks. I hope instead Fulham are taking behind-the-scenes action, using legitimate channels to challenge Utd’s clearly organised cynical gameplan.

Funny how things work out. Between the ref and var decisions, they took so much time faffing about the penalty poor Bruno Fernandez got himself in a tizz and forgot his lines and concentration which was good for us. They say that they are cracking down on the rough stuff that Bassey displayed and if true, they will also crak down on those kind of incidences in the penalty area. We will see?
