Brighton properly fucked.

Why the fuck were 10 mins added to this game???

Another great advertisement for the quality of referees in England

Refs continue to make people despise them more at 11.

Brighton got hosed ngl, shocking performance from the refs yet again

That was way harder fought than it needed to be, especially in a period where we have 3 games in just over a week. Still, hanging in there should be big for developing some of the players' mentality, especially after last week.

How did Brighton not get a corner at the end after the VAR review?

Edit: People have explained in the replies how it is the correct call according to the rules, but if the ball clearly goes out immediately and no one had the opportunity to stop it had the foul not been called, I feel like the rule should be to give the corner. (I’m not a Brighton fan either)

Why wasn't that a corner after the VAR review

Pawson is not at the level a premier league ref should be.

Chelsea is comedy pure.
Nearly bottled a 2-0 lead

Officials are shit

VAR and the field officials were absolutely shocking. I have no idea what the fuck just happened

Brighton about to get an apology. What an absolutely dog-shit referee.

How have you managed to give a goal kick after Colwill got pummeled in the face?

What in the actual fuck?

Fucking hell, I’m quitting my job and becoming a ref, becuase clearly you only need to be stupid as shit to be qualified.

PL refs are an absolute joke

That was one of the worst officiating performances I’ve ever seen in my life

Ref & Var ball. What a shit show

Would love to know what VAR were saying for the handball.

Even if it was a decision that went in our favour, it's a worrying show of how incompetent VAR and the PGMOL is

Huge win given we went down to 10 men. They had a fair few starters come on in the second half and we still outplayed them

The funniest possible result

Sanest prem league referee performance

Chelsea fans: why can't you be normal??

Chelsea: screams

This ref lost it and him pointing to the spot incorrectly goes to show how rattled he really was. Like holy shit he almost just gave an incorrect penalty call that was cleared by Var, didn’t card Caicedo for his tackles (genuinely think he lost count). I’m not even a damn Brighton fan and they’re closer to our “rivals” this year than Chelsea too but wow to get everything just so incorrect is baffling to me. Drop ball?! What?

Terrible time with my stream, kept crashing. Can any sympathetic person help me out in my DM’s? Please and thank you.

This and the Liverpool result isn’t what I signed up for

With the injuries, the short turnaround time from Athens, the 11 selected and playing away from home, proud of the boys for staying in the game until the very last minute. RDZ and this team are putting together something special, we go again Wednesday!

I hope chelsea can keep a good consistence performance. Looking forward to the match vs United.

Mastermind De Zerbi bringing on the slowest player in the league against Mudryk.

Also Brighton repeated diving in the 2nd half, not that the ref bothered to book them. Joke of a team.

Joke officials too trying to give Brighton a pen for the ball hitting Colwill in the head.

Fuck Efan Ekoku and Craig Pawson

If I was not born blessed with the gift of sight, and instead had to rely on Ekokus commentary to understand the game then I would know as much about what actually happened in the match as uncontacted tribes in the Amazon.

Also, Craig Pawson just makes it up as he goes along. Was just bad for both teams.

What a performance down a man for a half, not pretty but we count those

Aa refereeing display for the ages

Great back and forth game. Caicedo should’ve been off but I think the Mudryk pen was the right call

Never a pen, but a drop ball makes no sense. Announcers were totally right, such a farce.

And breathe...

VAR: bro come look at how hard this rocks him in the face.

Solid survival job after going down to 10 players. Our players need to learn some discipline and stop acting so immature. Learnt nothing in this game about our tactics and stuff. Scrappy win

Referee and VAR performance was horrible

Most calm Chelsea game

Someone please TLDR the drama. e: thanks all

Again this shows its not the system, it's the morons using it.

What an end to the game!

Pay up Di Zerbi that's what you get for complaining 🤣

Is it really a chelsea game if neither side feels exhausted and stressed by the end?

Giving a drop ball instead of a corner is just another illustration about how poor the standard of officiating is.

A monitor check for a clear header. Then taking away Brighton’s corner. This is league embarrassing.

EDIT: Apparently Pawson gave a penalty on the pitch? Guess I (and the majority of the sub based on confusion here) missed that. Weird that no one on the pitch / stadium reacted to the original call either.

As a Chelsea fan I am embarrassed by our performance and tactics in the second half. Everyone knows that the right response to going down to 10 is playing a high line, getting ripped to shreds, and claiming the moral victory after the game. This was disgraceful #PochOut #It'sNotWhoWeAreMate

It was a dropped ball because the ref called a penalty on the pitch

If you don't like chaos that gives you a heart attack, you don't like Chelsea football

Travesty.

Dat wuz a.

Can someone explain those last 5 minutes to me?

Ball hits defender square in the face and goes out. VAR check handball. Recommend drop ball. Goal kick given.

Where is the corner? Why use the furthest camera in the stadium to check for handball? Why are Colwill and Sanchez getting into a scrap with their old teams?

What?
