Only way to get rid of it is for fans to mobilise.

Not seen that - got a gif for it mate?

When you watch these videos and say to yourself "unbelievable"

and then realise it's not because these fucking idoits do it multiple times per match, multiple times a week

[Fromola]

I hate the myth that the top clubs get all the decisions. The Manchester clubs certainly do, we don't.

The way we're reffed is ridiculous.

I know Neco Williams said top 6 all get them pens err don’t think so lad !

Forest will get some pens last 3 games after they’ve played City as league not want them down with points deducted.

Forest next season though have now made themselves a target with PGMOL although what they said was right they will pay for it.

The year Williams was in our team we conceded more pens than we got. Selective memory.

Doesn't that tell everyone that the fans and the game ruling bodies are walking on diverging paths? Is it not time to give the game back to the fans?

[decosabute]

Yeah piss City off with a decision and you don't get any more City games as Ref. Ask Simon Hooper.

Give them decisions and you get an all expenses paid trip to the UAE. I mean you have develop myopia so you miss Kovacic committing a couple of stonewall yellow/red card challenges. The myopia becomes so severe that you even see Doku drop-kick Macca.

I am sure his eyesight returns when he views his burgeoning bank balance though.

I keep saying it, but it's so obvious and blatant that it's beyond belief that it's still mostly treated as normal.

PGMOL is too open to corruption. It's unaccountable and an old boys network.

It needs to be run independently and have accountability and oversight. It even gets to call in favours with Sky forcing the pundits to back them up.

[4pool]

Would be interesting if some investigative journalist looked into PGMOL contracts and whether or not "moonlighting" with other Leagues is allowed.

Of course going to Uefa or FIFA tournaments would be allowed.

This is a staggering clip.

I have previously said how unprofessional they are. It’s rushed comms with people talking over one another.

Crazy they didn’t review the Doku challenge for this long.

[Mister Flip Flop]

Football authorities don't give two shiny shits about fans as long as the money keeps rolling in. The only way they do is a fan boycott of match day and subscriptions. They take advantage of our lack of collective.

It’s also shows when they’re choosing which frame the ball is ‘kicked’ that it’s impossible to be 100% accurate. Feels like the ball has travelled a fair bit between those two frames so by the same token the attacker and defender will have moved between those frames too. I actually think they picked the correct frame but it just shows that when you get a decision that’s ridiculously right like that Coventry offside you can’t categorically say whether it’s on or off.

Isn’t offside applied differently in Europe?

Yes. I've long thought this was the biggest problem with VAR. It renders minute analysis of whether a foot or a shoulder is marginally offside utterly redundant.

I recall being told - I forget by which poster - that VAR had access to super-cameras with thousands of frames a second and therefore they could make dead accurate decisions about when to freeze the action. I thought that was baloney at the time. I know it is now.

It also proves that picking where to put the lines is up for grabs too.
If the VAR guy wants a player to be offside he can just move the lines to suit.

I've posted before how shit the cameras are compared to say MotoGP, footy uses 50fps cameras, MotoGP uses 500, 750 and 1000 fps cameras, so they can do super slow motion on a bike passing the camera at 120mph for example and you can see the chain flexing.

The Adidas ball should be introduced to the PL, has a motion sensor in the middle and they can pinpoint the exact moment the ball is kicked and link to the cameras, it's what will be used in the Euros IIRC

[DelTrotter]

Should be a red that, fucking dirty shithouse

No card for trying to end someones career sums it up. He probably wanted the booking too!

[The North Bank]

Ankle breakers are ok these days, must be a new rule

[Barneylfc∗]

Are we the only club to have a player sent off for doing that? Seems every week since that it's ok to do.

James Corden and Ray Winstone on VAR

Its just beyond a joke now and Jackson was a red other night.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Antony fucking Taylor fucking again

Just fuck off - fucking pile of fucking shite.

[smicer07]

They've clearly changed their own laws mid season haven't they

[Irishred1]

Not even a yellow for that . The blind manc wanker

[lfc_col]

Shocking he's still allowed to ref our games

About time we did a Forest at least they had balls to say it

[rafathegaffa83]

Yep. Dangerous play. VAR asleep at the wheel. Joke is Taylor will give a yellow at some point for something soft

[smicer07]

He will give one for something petty, like tapping the ball away at a free kick. He's shite.

[GreatEx]

No, it's been pretty consistent that the referee and VAR call it however they want and will always be correct.

[rob1966]

Fucking hell, how can it take so fucking long? Its obvious that Diaz is off from the first look. Just fuck these refs off and get some decent ones eh?

[Agent99]

Can't wait for automatic offside next season. These c*nts take the piss.

[DelTrotter]

HAHAHAHAAH Card straight out for Endo of course

[rob1966]

He will give one for something petty, like tapping the ball away at a free kick. He's shite.

And there he goes

[Enders]

Not corrupt though

[rob1966]

Not corrupt though

Nope, totally 100% honest

[lfc_col]

Not corrupt though

But he supports Altrincham 

[Enders]

Everyone knows that stamp from Paqueta was a yellow

You could argue that the referee didn't give it due to how early in the game it was

It's a bollocks argument though

Its probably given as a red against certain teams
