If VAR was as transparent as it is in rugby, it wouldn’t be so bad. All those in the stadium can then see what they’re hiding.

Yes, and have the referee mic’d up and have him explain each decision as he makes it, like in the rugby too. That way the world would see what the ref sees and hear why the referee made decisions.If VAR was as transparent as it is in rugby, it wouldn’t be so bad.

Never going to happen though as PIGMOL and the sportscheat US owned clubs will fight against it tooth and nail.

Spot on. I think corruption in football starts all the way from high official in government or else they would‘ve allowed independent body to investigate by now. Fbi will not bother like they did with fifa cause of high level bureaucracy bullshit which means everyone is cozy and tight. It’s a billion dollars industry and as they say , he who harvest honey licks his finger.Nobody wants to upset the apple cart, not even the government. As long as football keeps the layperson in check, carry on regardless.

I would expect that the issue of game manipulation by abuse of VAR would be the first thing this much touted "regulator of football" will be looking into (no, not really)

About as likely as them looking at club indebtednessI would expect that the issue of game manipulation by abuse of VAR would be the first thing this much touted "regulator of football" will be looking into (no, not really)

Not English football, but the fact a match-fixing referee (Felix Zwayer), is allowed to referee the biggest match in the Bundesliga is extremely suspicious and concerning. Bayern run a closed shop.

It's starting to become just a bit sickening. Anfield today - disgraceful.

I just wish they fronted up to it.
Admit the PL is a business rather than a sport. At the moment it feels like we're the only club fighting against it and the more we win on and off the field the more piss will boil.

Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea and City all win with a penalty decision.
It seems the players referee games these days.

But its only City that is an unexpected anomaly in that list... and it's only the City pen that will be scrutinised and deemed unfair and contentious.Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea and City all win with a penalty decision.

Watching the Norwich v utd game yesterday it honestly felt like I was having deja vu it was so utterly predictable, Norwich the better side but utd winning it with a soft, late pen.

I agree, all the scrutiny on the City penalty, but the scourge of diving/playacting is there to see with all teams.But its only City that is an unexpected anomaly in that list... and it's only the City pen that will be scrutinised and deemed unfair and contentious.

The "do anything to win" attitude.
