PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

[CC1]

It's pretty much given to any team that has a realistic chance to finish above City. Chelsea have got some strange decisions in their favor as well.

Yep. Football results are now being fixed by VAR. And we know which teams will continue to benefit

 

[NowInMilnrow]

More you watch this new season the more I’m convinced we’ve been cleared. Why? Because they are now using VAR more & more to give the red cartel the points. It’s becoming embarrassing but this is one area we can’t contest as a club.
We definitely don’t get the same decisions. Shirt pulls on our forwards are dismissed. Standing on our forwards foot in the box - not given.

It stinks

I’d give that idea more credence if it was the PL in charge of officiating. But it isn’t.

Of course they’re not. But it doesn’t stop them from having illicit conversations with those that are. Indeed, it’s a nice cover. The PL has huge hidden powers albeit they’re pretty stupid & are beginning to look more corrupt each year.

Don’t you think the VAR decisions so far have been even more blatantly wrong already this season?

VAR is a perfect way of helping “favoured” teams & it’s happening in front of our eyes but we’re powerless to stop it. At least we could fight the PL; UEFA charges but there’s nothing we can do about VAR - unless certain clubs start to campaign against the decisions.

The media is starting to question & highlight some of the latest instances so maybe things will have to change?

I don’t deny the VAR decisions have looked particularly dodgy, but I believe that too many people would have to be involved in a collaboration of that magnitude for it not to leak out.
But I’ve no more knowledge than you!

I can only refer you to Blatter ; Platini & the FIFA’s Jack Warner’s World Cup bribery case.

Our 115 charges by the PL was only brought about because certain clubs colluded to bring us down because we had spoilt their dominance.

It’s definitely not far fetched for VAR to be used to their advantage

Otherwise what explanation is there for treating clubs differently in terms of decisions made by VAR each week.

We might actually be good again by the time this bloody verdict comes in.

 

[bobbyowenquiff]

They might not realise how corrupt they look & they certainly make a pigs ear of everything but they are definitely corrupt as f*** & this VAR system is being used to suit their favoured teams.

What has happened to “clear and obvious.” The VAR team are going further and further back in the move to find a reason to disallow a goal even when none of the players have complained. This is crazy. The VAR officials are re-refereeing matches and finding incidents that could never be seen with the naked eye. This is only happening in the PL. Some incidents are ignored while others are analysed forensically.

Any MINUSCULE of doubt that VAR is corrupt was destroyed with what can only be described as THE MOST DISRACEFUL DECISION IN THE HISTORY OF FOOTBALL…..

Yep even though the goalkeeper CLEARLY handled outside the box,oh and CLEARLY swatted the ball away from the the oncoming striker….nothing happened,VAR thought that was ok.

The fact it was pretty much forgotten after a few days….sort of sums how City are viewed and treated….

What did Khaldoon say when the Der Spiegal shite dropped?



CLEAR & OBVIOUS

You think it'll be that long for the decision to come?

The worst decision I’ve seen since the implementation of VAR. And of course it was against us, we are without doubt ref’d differently.

 

[JASR]

Went to the gym today (bad back needed swim&jets) which was not the typical day or time, where I normally sit to change was full, and lots of lockers (so I didn’t have to attempt to bend - the bad back) were used…
The only one left in the area I was changing and at a reasonable height… 115!

It’s a sign I tell you, a sign!

Yep. And they carefully select those that should be ignored - & those that “need” analysing

The people handling these cases for the club are, again with the greatest of respect to everyone, much smarter in their particular field than you or me, or anyone else on this forum. Who knows what may be going on?

Do you mean better at what they do, or better at what they do than what everyone else does? It’s slightly unclear, at least to me!

I think you meant the former, which is almost certainly correct, at least excluding lurkers, because I’d be amazed if there weren’t some big hitting lurkers - but it’s not going to be the latter. Certainly not all of them. Pannick maybe, and one or two of the other silks. And one or two of the senior sols.

But 100% not all of them.

No chance. I can think of a couple of other posters who I’ve met where that’s absolutely the case. They will unquestionably be better at what they do than most of the legal representatives in that case.

I don’t know if you’re right about us being cleared or not but you’re right about VAR. It’s being used to give the usual teams an advantage in plain sight on a regular basis and there’s fuck all anybody can do about it. It’s depressing and it’s sucking the life out of the game. I fucking hate it and everything it stands for.

Yes, the former. Could have been expressed more clearly.

Much like most of my posts :)

I’ve noticed on sky sports any news on City is about the tenth story or sometimes even lower down the page is this a sign we have fucked em over and the verdict is in our favour.

No.

The ref in Chelsea v Fulham game gave some very dodgy decisions, with the help of VAR, Fulham can feel very agreived.
