PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

My new favourite hobby is arguing with scousers online, drawing them into the trap of producing the CAS reports "time barred" page. They feel so smug that we "got off" then I break it to them that "time barred" actually meant that the panel couldn't accept any argument and we couldn't present our case to prove our innocence. I then present the statement that we are now delighted that we can finally present all the evidence to clear our name. Lo and behold the silly Scouse cunts disappear.

Now, I don't know how this is going to go but I just fucking love tying them up in knots when they realise time barred doesn't mean that we couldn't be prosecuted on our guilt, but rather the panel didn't even bother to look at it.

Scouse wankpots

Mason did that decision to us instead of Arsenal he’d be backed slapped and given a top Var job

Absolutely! No one would be batting an eyelid if that decision was against City, no headlines, no real coverage. We all know how that goes...... That sort of coverage is only given to the media clubs, lfc, utd, arsenal.

No wonder refs fear giving anything against those clubs. And I am certain this decisions (To sack Mason) will be reverberating amongst his fellow refs when it comes to their job security, especially with Webb in charge which seems to have changed the landscape.

We saw evidence of it in the ludicrous decision to award a penalty against Ederson. I'm not sure where else Ederson could have gone unless he turned into that invisible man we sing about.

As the FootballIsFixed guy has posted the information in his blog, I'll go live on it.

Among the information he passed on was that a number of people reporting to LFC were working in our Performance & Analytics team. My understanding is that a number of people were sacked soon afterwards. I also believe there was a 'war room' at Liverpool's HQ where these activities were coordinated from. However I believe we were already aware of this.

That's why I was so convinced something major would happen. I couldn't see how this wouldn't be a major scandal. But for whatever reason it's been 4 years and nothing. At least not yet.

i heard the same thing from a different source. It seems that some of the stuff on the FF website is not as lunatic as some claim.

If they’re capable of planting spies in our own camp and hacking our scouting database, what’s the chances of them paying some Portuguese hacker to get into our emails and leak them to the world? I’m not making accusations, but..
 
It seems to me that the whole plot is starting to unravel. I certainly hope it is.

Mason is new to VAR. He made a mistake, but why should he be made an example of? It's not as though he's the first one to make a mistake in the VAR room. Most probationers would be given further training if they made a significant mistake early in their career.

Webb is new to the job, and is trying to stamp his authority. Well, why has he made an example of newbie Mason. Swarbrick failed to refer the handball by Soucek, which was an equally poor decision. Swarbrick is Head of VAR, and we now have a situation where the Head of VAR has been removed from being a VAR because of he isn't a competent VAR.

There's no logic behind these decisions. Are they scared of what Swarbrick could reveal if he suddenly loses his lucrative job?

I’m sorry but his ridiculous recent claims that John Stones is a rogue player fixing matches against City is 100 times bigger than any nonsense about LFC spies in the City camp.

Has he given a dossier to City about Stones ?
The guy is a crank

This one does seem ludicrous as Stones ( When fit ) has had some match winning performances for us. He did make a lot of glaring mistakes though in his early days, some shockers, but Walker has had a few of those too.

This sounds different. I’m reading it as LFC effectively had “plants“ (spies) on City’s payroll who were stealing data and sending it to Liverpool - industrial espionage basically. The one we settled was computer hacking where Liverpool employees (ex-City) were using City log on details to steal information. If PB’s revelation is a separate and further incident it suggests a systematic process to steal data. The presence of a “War Room” usually involves sanction from the very top of an organisation. Interesting :)

While I don't doubt that there are rogue football players, they aren't playing for the top premier league clubs.
Presumably the motive for being a rogue player would be financial in the form of gifting a goal in exchange for cash to help with a bet.
How much money would need to be offered to a player on 150k a week to do that? Answer is a damn site more than it would a player in league 2 on a couple of grand a week. The odds are no better for Premier league games than they are league 2 so they could win the same money betting on 2 crap teams and it would cost a lot less bribe money.

I'm surprising Oliver hasn't been mentioned in any bias against us as that prick must have screwed us over more than most. Atkinson was another.

Oliver has got away scot-free from the Fernandez goal. He surely knew that that goal shouldn't have counted. At minimum, he should have recommended a referral to the monitor.

Cann has also come away from this totally unscathed. When Fernandez remonstrated about the offside flag, Cann said something to him that made him go away with a smile on his face. Possibly "Don't worry, you'll get the goal. I'll confirm Rashford didn't touch the ball".

As an experienced linesmen, Cann should have told Attwell that there was definite interference with the City players. Also that he didn't think there was a touch by Rashford, because he couldn't possibly say definitively that there was no touch, because at one point Akanji was between him and Rashford. So he should have recommended a review.

We had one. A big gambler who accumulated debts owed to some very dodgy people. City were convinced he was match-fixing and even went to the police. It's absolutely not just lower league players.
