Corruption in English football?

What is more annoying is no one ever challenged the change of mind afterwards. The wonderful media never said squat, sky didn't raise any issues either.
Ratboy on MNF 'why wasn't he sent off?'
Spitty 'I can't understand why Taylor changed his mind'

I know, I'm laughing as I type it as well

That same season (i think) there was a decision that went in our favour which was similarly odd, but proved to me that outside influences were in contact with the on-field team.

I think it was West Brom away, long ball over the top on a counter, they scored. The officials weren't in a good place to call it (not their fault, it was a quick move). The Ref at the time had his fingers in his ear as he was running to catch up with the incident and (correctly) gave an offside decision that he and his team couldn't possibly have called from their positions. Someone told him it was off. This was all pre-VAR of course.

Again, it's all about transparency. There isn't any. Whatever they are up to behind close doors might lead to "bad" decisions or "better" ones, depending on your standpoint. But the fact all of this is shady and done without the sunlight of both other versions of VAR (Australia) and other sports is really fishy in my mind. It is open to manipulation, fraud, and corruption.

Has anyone heard of some dodgy goings on at Everton, involving everyone up to board level? I got a couple of WhatsApp messages alluding to some serious corruption, with the SFO involved, arrests to be made, and plenty of resignations.

There were stories about some PL clubs being investigated by Interpol over transfer activities and the money involved.

With the PL being such a huge money maker they could afford to pay for a legal injunction to block any publication of potential investigations.

Usmanov, who seems to be heavily involved with Everton since Kroenke bought him out at Arsenal, has a dodgy past I believe. And of course, any club Big Sam's involved with....

You just reminded me about how quiet that went.

I remember a TV investigation into Usmanov being possibly involved with 3 or 4 clubs illegally.

That decision still annoys the sh*t out of me.

I have no doubt that someone told him not to send Luiz off, despite it being a clear and obvious Red card (even without Blue tinted specs on). Someone watching on a monitor is in no position to make a decision on that challenge unless they have a different view than the on field referee that shows the incident more clearly. They did not.

It's funny, or strange maybe, but I just searched David Luis v Aguero on You Tube and I can see nothing of the original block. However how may different angles do you want of Sergios "revenge"?

I think you can probably find the match highlights on there, but you'd have to scroll through to find the original incident that lead up to Aguero losing his sh*t.

Looking back I'm almost certain that the match officials were 'delighted' with Sergio's reaction and the increased tensions amongst the City players which ultimately lead up to the double sending off of both Fern and Sergio for separate incidents; almost as if they'd planned it that way.
 
As clear as day its bent , there needs to be an investigation into it asap

One of these was award as a penalty one wasnt ! Its really sad that at my age I dont understand what a merits a penalty because the game is so corrupt. And it's done in broad daylight and it's just ignored by the corrupt press/media.
Odd isnt it how both teams in red benefit from it :(

Plus these two red teams in their old shitty stadiums cant afford to put up a large screens

Too many people and organisations making money out of the Premier League. It’s in none of their interests to lift the lid on the corruption that has been obvious for years. Can’t see it changing anytime soon and we will need to continue to be head and shoulders better than other teams to win trophies as it’s impossible for us to fluke any.

It's all down to the original decision. Give the penalty it doesn't get overturned.
Don't give the penalty and var isn't really interested.
But then they come out and say its the right decision because var looks at all penalty incidents

Notice the villa game where the referee went to the screen and they only shown him one angle what’s the point to them if they don’t show every angle so he can make the right decision! My guessing is it’s a all for the camera and it’s the cheats in the var box making the decisions

Just like with City against Spurs with the handball in the Champions League. The camera angle showing conclusively the handball was mysteriously unavailable?

That's why I think the TV companies play there part. Var can only look at the replays that the TV companies give them.
I always go back to the spurs champs league game.
Ref was only given 2 angles of the handball which wasn't clear. It was only after the goal was given BT found another angle that showed a clear handball. For me BT knew that other angle would have ruled out the spurs goal so decided not to release it

Over 12 hours later it's discussed. Last night there wasn't even a VAR review shown but we got told it had been checked. Only now have they put the footage out of the incident and it shows the VAR check in play.
Fuckin corrupt wankers.
