Ref Watch

Has anyone else noticed not a lot of players get booked for diving anymore

That's because we now have VAR which will 'prove' there was the slightest touch from an inconclusive camera angle. Same with offside decisions where VAR can spot a single pair of atoms coming together which proves contact between player and ball, thus allowing another player who was 5yds offside to score a goal.
 
Another red card overturned - Chelsea’s at Villa after the Oscar winning performance from Grealish. Good to see refs and VAR getting it right again.
The Azpiliqueta red? I've not seen the incident apart from still images. Regardless, Azpiliqueta is one of the snidest cheats out there and has probably had a few people receive yellows/reds for his cuntish tricks. I'd have extended the ban if I'd have been involved in the hearing.
 
Well done, but we do not have to suffer, VAR could be our salvation, all it needs is an independent company using VAR the Clear and obvious being applied, and assessing Refs. it does away with the FA`s pay masters influence. that Ferguson brought in.

I understand your point entirely. It does need tp be operated by an independent body and in a transparent manner, with the reasons for the decision being taken being audible to supporters as in cricket and rugby.

The biggest obstacle to this is the issue of wrestling control of VAR from PiGMOL, who have proved their reluctance to operate the system properly , and the questions have to be asked as to why they demonstrate their reluctance. To cover for the inept displays by their referees or to conceal corrupt practice in order to be able to effect certain results ?

Mike Riley is not wanting to relinquish the control of VAR clearly, so who exactly is going to force the necessary changes ?

The PL receives massive amounts of money from tv rights and two of the " biggest " clubs are the rags and dippers . The numbers of dubious decisions which those two team receive coiuld suggest that there is a vested interest at work in them remaining in top4 positions, at the very least.

All good points and VAR was kept in house for those reason, but we have to be careful at where we point the finger, at the moment there is a campaign against VAR fueled by dreadful VAR operators over the last few weeks, most likely with the aim of PIGMOL to get rid of this threat to their ministrations, we need to get rid of Swarbrick and all his minions.
