One of the worst referee decisions ever (WBA v BHA)

Nope. I’m an ex Palace fan and I hate them and hope they go down 

Nothing going their way so your wishes may be granted. (Can't believe that penalty miss) 

I don’t think the decision itself was that bad, it was the indecision and chaos afterwards that’s the issue. Went from being scored to disallowed pretty quickly...then allowed to stand after a delay...then after a further delay, disallowed again.

Don’t forget, he did award two penalties and Brighton missed them both. Can’t only blame the ref for them losing.

IMHO: The contentious part is that it was finally disallowed by VAR, I see that as beyond the scope of their operation. Only the Ref knows what he authorised & his thinking when he blew his whistle... ...the only person in a position to 2nd guess the Ref... is the Ref... that is what he did... he revised his own opinion on his own actions...
....so why does VAR then get a chance to revise his already revised opinion...?

That is very true - and has parallels with some recent Crawley experiences too - blaming officials eases the pressure on players who need to take more responsibility. As a Manager you cannot totally eliminate mistakes by players or the officials, the best you can do is prepare players not to lose focus or confidence when they happen. 

Well as a Brighton fan myself I think most of us are blaming our own incompetence. I actually think Allardyce was right in that officials do give teams time to sort out their wall and he made a mistake allowing Brighton to take it, but realised it micro seconds before the ball went in the net and blowing the whistle again. He should have stuck to that decision but bizarrely allowed his mind to be changed by Brighton protests, something that creates a rod for refs at every level of the game. VAR then bailed him out and I think the final decision is right for the game. Interestingly, the opposite happened in the England Wales rugby game yesterday and I thought England suffered an injustice

Aren't you also - in common with VAR & pundits - just 2nd guessing the Ref...?

The only person who has any informed capacity to read the Refs mind is the Ref... VAR was never introduced with an intention to provide yet another subjective analysis...!
