The worst decision ever? I’m not sure but I’m glad it went West Ham’s way
Wolves manager Gary O’Neil expressed his frustration over what he deemed “the worst decision I have ever seen” during Saturday’s 2-1 loss to West Ham United in the Premier League.
Max Kilman believed he had secured a late equalizer by heading home from a corner at Molineux, only for it to be disallowed following a VAR check.
Whilst there is some sympathy for the Wolves manager’s perspective, West Ham had been awaiting some fortune with VAR. Whether it was Tomas Soucek’s appeal for a handball in the last minute or Antony Gordon impeding Kalvin Phillips, VAR decisions often seemed to go against West Ham.
Initially, like many West Ham fans, I assumed Kilman’s late goal was legitimate. The disappointment was palpable. However, there was a glimmer of hope as it became evident that the VAR team would review the decision.
West Ham needed that stroke of luck. With Europe within our reach, a bit of fortune and a questionable VAR call were welcome, especially considering we’re usually on the receiving end rather than the benefiting side.
The injury to Jarrod Bowen is a concern, but with our sights set on European qualification, we’ll gladly accept a fortunate outcome.
No sure what’s all the fuss. The guy was in an offside position directly in front of the goalkeeper restricting his view. It’s offside plain & simple
