Is the league, for want of a better word, ‘bent’?

[Gordyola]

Compare and contrast how long VAR took to microscopically examine the Semenyo goal v Newcastle taking over 5 minutes before calling the ref to the monitor to disallow it, to how long they took to examine the Spurs goal yesterday it wasnt even reviewed yet Ive heard numerous neutrals same it was a foul The PL even changed it from OG to cover their arses

Yesterday and numerous times there have been loads of posts about this. The answer is yes.

The next question is WHY can VAR hear him ?

Rodri is spot on.He knows it and we know it.
VAR is Gary Neville for City matches.

What did Rodri say ?

The next question is WHY can VAR hear him ?

And what influence it has. Why should they take any notice of him?

Any credible evidence for this?

Thought not.

VAR will definately by influenced by Neville screeching "pen or no pen" its madness how they they hear him ?!

The commentary team can definitely hear VAR as they know the outcome before anyone else.

That is true. It’s a one way feed.

Any credible evidence for the contrary from reputable sources that are either known not to lie for self serving reasons or that do not have NDAs attached to their contracts?

Nope, thought not

Game after game after game, and this season especially, we see a constant drip, drip, drip of decisions being given in favour of the opposition. It must be so dispiriting for the players and coaching staff to walk on the the pitch knowing that it is far from a level playing field.

There is a clear pattern of City being effectively handicapped by the way we are referee'd. For example, the way defenders are allowed to just continually man-handle Haaland without punishment is astonishing.

The irony is that this season they don't really need to be doing that in order to impact our results, we are doing that mostly to ourselves.

But the two issues are totally different and if you want hard evidence of an anti-City campaign being employed by those running the game, look no further than the Dalot challenge on Doku. Bent? Clear and obvious.

If the league is bent against City then they've been doing a very bad job the last 10 years

Any credible evidence for what you’ve said there either?

Nope, thought not.

Why, what did I say? I'm not the one who posted what you replied to. I simply flipped your "proof by contradiction" around on you as it clearly works both ways.

The word of PGMoL and the media are all we've got to go on, both of whom fall into the categories I highlighted.

That’s extremely naive by Rodri to do that.

Imagine the amount of piss we’d take out of a player from a rival club spouting that?

No it doesn’t. There’s no credible evidence to suggest that commentary teams can speak to VAR.

Or we've been doing an even better job than what we get credit for

How can you have credible evidence of a negative concept?

After the cup final when they ignored a blatant red card live in front of the global millions, you have to wonder, why always us?

For the 2nd time - Casemiro in the FA Cup final, which was given as a foul against us? Then the VAR penalty against Grealish.

 

[Stockton Heath Blue]

The next question is WHY can VAR hear him ?

If they can, how on earth can VAR be independent? There is absolutely no reason whatsoever for them to be hearing 3rd party commentary.
