According to the FB post after the game, the accusation was that the officials, both clubs and Sky were informed that VAR was inop for the game. Nothing I have seen subsequently leads me to believe otherwise.

So why carry on with the pretence that it was in operation. I just don’t understand why anybody would agree to that but my suspicions were raised when sky pundits (Neville) knew the var check was over before Oliver didAccording to the FB post after the game, the accusation was that the officials, both clubs and Sky were informed that VAR was inop for the game.

Hope the lawyers, in their questions leave no wiggle room for pgmol to explain but not explain fully.
Theres a big difference to saying their was a VAR review? to all normal VAR processes & protocols
previously used were fully exhausted, prior to VAR statement to onfield referee or something similar?
On TTA be interesting to pin riley down on his previous ambiguous statement regarding penalty not
given due to not reaching threshold for deliberate handball. As this could mean it wasnt given due
to VAR rightly or wrongly utilising distance between bSilva and TTA as being too short a distance,
rather than TTA arm in unnatural position or outside of normal silhouette to not reaching threshold?
In addition to provide official time it took for that Salah offside review to take place and provide video.

I wouldn't put it past the PiGMOL to have installed an official in the Sky OB facility to use as a rudimentary VAR instead of the official VAR suite at Stockley Park which wasn't working. This would explain why the Sky pundits got the nod first.So why carry on with the pretence that it was in operation.

If this was the case, then that puts Sky firmly in control of what the makeshift VAR referee saw on the screen, including selected angles for handball, fouls and any offside decisions.

The thick plottens with this news breaking tonight. Even if nothing concrete comes of it, I’m pleased to see my club acting this way.

So why would city go along with. Var is either in operation or it isn’t. It can’t be half arsed(even though we know that generally it is half arsed)I wouldn't put it past the PiGMOL to have installed an official in the Sky OB facility to use as a rudimentary VAR instead of the official VAR suite at Stockley Park which wasn't working.

Nailed it pal , 100%As they all seem to be shit that ref our games that leaves only one clear conclusion.....they are just puppets for a higher power. This is bigger than City, it is a battle against our owners.

They probably weren't given an option.So why would city go along with. Var is either in operation or it isn’t. It can’t be half arsed(even though we know that generally it is half arsed)
I'm sure they would have been informed (if indeed it was the case) that the Sky OB was being used as back up. The discrepancies I highlighted above may be what form the basis of the Club's complaint.

At last some action.
We’ve played Mr Nice Guy far too long and it’s got us absolutely nowhere.
Time to take a leaf out of the gpc’s book and put some fear into the f@@kers.

We'll see what comes of it, but I’m not holding my breath. The Chelsea game might give us a few clues.At last some action.
