I think it's both corruption and incompetence. The latter making it easier to disguise the former.The technology is fine, the people operating and deciding how to apply the rules is where the problem lies. Incompetence or corrupt or both you decide. It needs an honest overhaul.
Well you certainly picked a bad ten years to stop attending City games!Some of us voted with our feet nearly a decade ago.
I'm not working all week to help fund that cash cow.
I used to say on here about 10 years ago" Football will eat itself"
The usa influence of glamour ,stadiums not Grounds,extended injury times to keep the customer in their seat ,for advertising/ distraction purposes... elevation of refs to god like status,and the dumming down of fans while they wait to see if they can cheer a goal or not....orders given by some bot in a box,hidden away...
You are controlled.
Some like it that way
Absolute shit show.
Well you should start every post with an apology for attacking our players (and fan) bus, hacking our computer systems and physically abusing a young child causing life changing injuries.Love the fact that a match that didnt have anything to do with City has resulted in the huge number of posts. It's almost asif Liverpool were in your heads!!!
The whole tribalism and increased animosity between our clubs is something that personally disappoints me, but it also amuses me when so many go deep into it.
From my POV and in true Greggery Peccery style, talking about football.... The ref really only made one mistake.
That being the first yellow for Jota. The fact that there are no VAR checks for somethign so seemingly innocuous is perhaps a problem, but with his stupidity of diving in for that challenge so soon after. Well Jota left the ref with no choice.
Jones being sent off. No intent, contact with the ball, but even if his foot "slipped off the top of the ball", that means he was not in full control and with studs up. Well, that is reckless and red card was a cert.
As for the "offisde", well that was given by the assistant and once done then it is down to the VAR officials. Ads has been seen, it was them that made the error, with the ref actually just going along wityh what they said and what his assistant had indicated.
As for the statement and as has been said, I do think it has been very carefully worded. However, I dont see the litigation that so many on here predict going forward. For the simple reason that there is no way you can litigate for simple human error in relation to a football match. I see the wording more as looking to start a process where VAR as it stands is overhauled. The cynic in me when considering FSGs craving for money, makes me wonder if they have a share in the company that did the World Cup VAR system?
Just checked the odds, the rags at 100/1 to win the title :)
Extract:Destiny Udogie: Tottenham condemn racist abuse towards defender
Tottenham have condemned racist abuse directed at defender Destiny Udogie on social media after Saturday's 2-1 win against Liverpool.www.bbc.co.uk
I see the world's greatest and most knowledgable fanbase has done a racism again....and the BBC can't quite bring themselves to acknowledge it. Funny that.....
And don’t forget the t/shirts they wore. Condemns all forms of racism my arse.Extract:
“"Liverpool FC condemns all forms of racism and discrimination and will work with the relevant authorities and social media platforms to help identify those responsible and apply the strongest possible consequences," the Reds said.”
Yeah right, like finding those two twats who abused and spat in our Coaching staff at the Victim’s retreat, they found them, investigated them and then punished them by giving them different seats where they couldn’t repeat the abuse. “Strongest possible punishment” my arse.
