    The Title Race - 2023/24

    It is a straight fight now with no team distracted by Europe. Whoever comes out on top deserves to be Champions.

    Media Discussion - 2023/24

    The media have adopted an aggressive stance against Forest before Forest have had a chance to provide any evidence. There is also an ongoing pile-on on Clattenberg and yet no challenge to the unbelievable decision by Attwell not to intervene on the third penalty appeal. It is being brushed under...

    VAR Discussion Thread - 2023/24

    That is just strange. Attwell is one of the worst referees I have ever seen. Rank incompetent. Why has Winter tweeted that out? Is he supporting or mocking the decision. Has someone at PGMOL briefed him?

    VAR Discussion Thread - 2023/24

    There is something unhealthy with the relationship between the broadcasters (who pay for coverage) and the PGMOL. They are just too close to each other. I realise that the media criticises referees all the time but there is something wrong at a structural level and not enough transparency. The...

    Spot-on. No transparency means no trust and secrecy corrupts. We have seen it in every aspect of life in recent years, the latest being the Post Office scandal. What have they got to hide?

    VAR Discussion Thread - 2023/24

    The media are influencing decisions by officials. Some incidents are scrutinised and others are not. Why are fans not shown how the VAR process works at Stockley Park. We are the paying customers. It is clear that conversations are happening between officials and broadcasters while play is...

    Media Discussion - 2023/24

    All the media today are quoting “ a source close to PGMOL.” So poisonous attacks on the Forest owner from someone in PGMOL are being briefed out. We have seen this playbook before. I am not saying Forest are right but there are two sides to every story and I wouldn’t believe a word from Neville...

    VAR Discussion Thread - 2023/24

    The media have turned on the Forest owner en mass. Is it because he is not English or American? Let’s wait for the evidence before we have a witch-hunt against Forest. What does Clattenberg know about Attwell? As I said let’s hear the audio first. We never heard one from Old Trafford last...

    VAR Discussion Thread - 2023/24

    This is the crucial point. The tech is not accurate for a decision based on a few millimetres because of the frame speed. So these very marginal decisions can’t be trusted. The way VAR is used must take account of the margin of error.

    Before we condemn Forest we should see if they have any evidence that Atwell is biased. I have no faith in Atwell after the Derby last year. They still haven’t released the audio for that.

    Media Discussion - 2023/24

    Perhaps Forest have got some dirt on Attwell. I’m still waiting to hear the tape of last years bent decision in the swamp derby when Attwell overruled his linesman’s correct decision to rule out the "Rashford interfering offside” goal. The most bent decision I have seen in 57 years of watching...

    FA Cup Semi Final | Coventry City v United

    What would happen if Onana had headbutted someone in the shoot-out? Would he stay on the pitch?

    FA Cup Semi Final | Coventry City v United

    This is true but they should be able to calculate precisely what the margin of error is and make allowances for it. If the margin is say six inches then no decision should be given either way with any smaller distance than that. These toenail offsides are only as good as the equipment. Why do...

    FA Cup Semi Final | Coventry City v United

    We never get shown the frame from when the ball is played.
