They are afraid we'll find out the TV broadcasters get a say in the process.

I wonder??

a weak penalty claim for you is a 100% nailed on penalty for someone else especially as football fans tend to be so tribal and see everything through their own teams specs on. I like the idea but i don't think it would calm the angry outraged mob down.

There are pens that everyone agrees on. Quite a lot. There are pens that are inbetween where no one can agree. Even the refs. Indirect Free Kick.

Tribalism is a different thing imo. But the key to it is that the ref has made a decision and we all abide by it,. Otherwise they will bring in a whole video review system that slows the game down, makes us all confused, STILL gets it wrong and regresses the game :)

I honestly think they do, or at least heavily involved in it.

That happens quite often, whether it's protocol not.

I'm in favour of VAR but just not with these clowns in charge of it. I'm not a referee but I'm certain I could right a better set of protocols and guidance and ensure they are followed correctly compared to how the FA, PMGOl and Webb are performing. Currently its an utter shambles and surrounded in unnecessary secrecy.

Not so sure mate…. It should be WRITE!!

How many would have to be involved in concealing that ?

Not that many. Stockley Park is shrouded in mystery anyway, and anyone who did know would have most certainly have signed an NDA, and have a clause in their employment contract.

It sounds tricky, but then how many are involved in making us believe the world isn't flat?

This is small time in comparison.
