Ref Watch

its like live streaming daylight bank robbery .

We absolutely need transparency, whether we will get it is another debate.Watching Peps post match he constantly reiterates "Nobody gave us anything" and coming from media darlings Barcelona and Munich he knows. It feels corrupt all the way down from Gill to the media via PIGMOL, thank God it was a deadrubber.

VAR makes it more corrupted not less. Its only useful for offside and that rule needs changing too so it's down to the position of the feet. Last night reminded my of Oliver's disgraceful performances at Anfield twice.

It’s more corrupt because it’s a few faceless unaccountable twats in a room miles away from the actual game which clearly doesn’t bode well for anyone challenging their cash cows especially CityThe most hated club in England.

Not only is that not a foul by Stones, it is a foul by their goalkeeper on Stones. He jumps on Stones' head. The fact the he is a goalkeeper doesn't give him immunity from the Laws of the Game. He isn't allowed to clear out everything in front of him in an attempt to get the ball.

"Considered by the referee" is the key phrase there. The keeper was fouled, it was by his own defender, not John Stones that's for sure.

When referee Mark Halsey claimed he was instructed to 'alter' his match report to say he hadn't seen something a few years back that should have been the catalyst for a full investigation/public inquiry into the standards of refereeing and corruption in football. Instead we got a slanging match in the press which was quickly shut down by the footballing authorities, no doubt by a super injunction against Halsey and others.

It really is bent. There is no other plausible explanation.

Useful for offside if they use it. I'm not sure they did for their winner.

Anyone see the use of VAR last night in the utd game .A quick look at Fernandez missing the ball ( VAR reckoned he touched it ) which then allowed Cavani to be onside .For Fulhams goal they looked at it from Angles never seen before ,the even had the screen split 3 ways .2 the usual way and one at an angle in the top left of the screen . It looked like this / I I if that makes sense .

It’s the same cheats who call same decisions for and against the same teams.

Atwell have one of the most corrupt performances I’ve seen last night and he was on Var and decided no penalty on Sterling v Chelsea.

Hooper who laughably allowed the Rags goal last night was also on Var when he denied Brighton a penalty v the Rags and in the same game gave the Rags a penalty after full time to win the game.

Moss is generally not fit for purpose but how he decided Jesus was not a penalty and how the studs up tackle on Gundog was not a red should have him removed from games,it was that bad.

For me, the club does not do enough to stop these sort of officiating performances. Can you imagine Ferguson’s interview if last night happened against him. As we are too well behaved, we give refs an easy option. shall I give a decision against Brighton which will have fans on my back or give it incorrectly v City as they won’t cause a fuss.
We need to call It out more

 

[colin's bell helmet]

Proper shit show last night.

Dean, Mason and Attwell doing their best to manipulate results to keep the "top 4 race" exciting.

The dippers ref will no doubt join in later.

Chelsea won though so how has their inept performance kept it interesting? I genuinely just think they are absolutely fuckin useless. How Attwell has managed to get back into the prem is beyond me... Need to start calling him Jellyfish coz the spineless twat gave us nothing all night. Don't think it's corruption though because how does us getting beat affect anything? He is just a shit house ref who gave the side with thousands of people in the ground everything.

Its surly the time to start employing foreign refs, that performance from that indvidual was an utter disgrace. How can you have a league filled with World class players and managers yet stick with idiots like this in the middle backed up by equally useless individuals remotely.
