Fucking hell - have you read anything from our media? They're more interested in Bobby banging a table in a press conference than uncovering real news. What do you think these Journo's get up to in their European jaunts?SamCity123 said:I think you're all mad. If there was corruption that had been going on for all these years, the papers would love to out it.
Oh wait...unless they're in on it!
I'm joking btw, the idea of corruption in the PL is ludicrous.
You're wasted on here - you need to get a job where these diversionary tactics are better employed - have you tried FIFA or UEFA?Campagnolo said:Deffo currupt lads, you only have to look at the facts that bleed into every single faction of the footballing hierarchy and media establishment...Platini is mates with Bobby Charlton and they invented FFPR to crush the threat from the middle east and remain part of the established order, the reason that they didn't do this with Chelsea was because the Russian mafia visited old bacon face at the cliff and told him to sell Kanchelskis or they would chop his head off.

Would this include stopping the game for Yaya's penalty yesterday? If not, why not. If so, what will happen is that the game will be stopped everytime there is a challenge in the box & a player claims a penalty. Also, every decision, however minor, significantly affects the outcome of a match (corner given which should have been a goal kick - they score on the resultant corner...)Plain Speaking said:Subject: Is football corrupt?
You have made some interesting points. It is hard to ensure there is never going to be corruption when there are potentially multiple people, (principally officials and players) that can be influenced by corruption.CBlue said:...and they only have a review to determine if a try is scored or the decision if a try isn't scored. This is a natural stop in play. This isn't the case in football. It's either a goal or no goal - the game doesn't stop unless it is declared a goal. A subtle but extremely important difference.danburge82 said:Football flows no more or less than rugby league. Stoppages at corners, free kicks, goal kicks (I count up to 40 seconds for goal kick sometimes from time wasting teams, Stoke took 1min and 10seconds once), stoppages for injuries can take anything from one minute to seven minutes. Then you have the surrounding the ref and swearing at him, or squaring up the the opposition saying you'll knock them out and actually do nowt happens all the time in football taking anything up to two minutes at a time.
Rugby league is a fast flowing sport.
What are you reviewing when a ball goes out for a goal kick? What are you reviewing when a player goes down injured? What are you reviewing when the players surround the ref? Is the game still going on? Wouldn't you surrounding the ref while the game continues a little dangerous? They are obviously surrounding him because they don't agree with his opninion - why would he then defer his opinion to a VR? He obviously saw an incident & deemed it not an offence - why would he ask someone else's opinion? Who's opinion would he seek? Who appoints this other opinion maker, or referee? Is he faceless? Can he make decisions knowing that the ref is getting all the shit for it? Has this other referee taken a bribe? Have both refs taken a bribe & are in on the corruption?
If we limit the discussion to officials' decisions, very often it is hard to distinguish between corruption and genuine human mistakes. Even if officials were corrupt, (or perhaps subconsciously biased?) they would still want to appear fair and impartial so as to preserve their reputation and future.
IMO allowing a referee to call for VR for only uncertain events that are likely to "significantly effect the outcome of a match", (ie penalties, goals or sendings off), will increase the likelihood of the right decision being given.The stopping of the game would be minimal.
Almost all people involved in the sport just want to see the fair and just decisions given.
I remember when I was a boy watching rugby without VR and there were many matches decided on mistaken officials decisions. That sport has been transformed for the better with VR.
I hope some day the football authorities will finally see the light and introduce VR to football so that justice can prevail.
LoveCity said:Anyone remember the Barcelona vs. Chelsea game some years ago? IMO that was undoubtedly, 100% definitely a game of football involving some form of corruption. Chelsea were denied something like 5 stonewall penalties.
I think you need to go away & check to see who can change the laws of the game - it isn't FIFA.<br /><br />-- Wed Nov 07, 2012 10:35 am --<br /><br />marca_uk said:Video Refs/Hawk Eye have been introduced in Rugby, Cricket, Tennis, Golf, even snooker!

The fact that the biggest sport, with the most money, does not introduce technology to ensure the correct decisions are made makes me believe that the people at the top want to be able to control exactly what happens in the beautiful game!

Then why did Abidal get sent off for nothing? Orebo (the referee for that game) is just a poor official. You should have watched the Bayern-Fiorentina last 16 game a few years ago, he had another shocker.

Kinnel fire you are like the twinkletoes of the football forum but you actually have no evidence at allCBlue said:This is going to blow the minds of those sceptics but you can guess who the referee was for that Zagreb/Lyon game - none other than our Mr Mark Clattenburg. He sent off a Zagreb players after 28 minutes! Can you also guess the team that missed out due to this result - I'll give you a clue - dutch team - 4 letters, 1st letter 'A' last letter 'X' & they also have a 'J' in the middle.SCF08 said:Football is corrupt as fuc*.
Watching Dinamo Zagreb's performances and defending (giving away cheap goals) in the Champions League over the past few years is borderline corrupt.
You could even see it in this weeks game against PSG but last year against Olympique Lyon was absolutely unreal. Lyon needed to win by at least 5 goals and the game ended 1-7 in Zagreb. Dinamo Zagreb players were even caught winking at Lyon players when they scored.
Ridiculous things are also happening in Turkey, Bulgaria and probably in every western european league as well.
I don't know who's organizing this shit but they seem to be taking the piss now.
