Hackett will have singed the same NDA as the rest of the cabal. I'm pretty sure he will be under strict instructions not to say anything which may paint the PiGMOL in a poor light.
You have to take everything Hackett says with the proviso that he was sacked basically for Riley. Went to a talk he did a few years ago and all he did was slag off every ref whilst saying how much better it was in his day. I have no doubt he is bitter about the way he was removedHackett is regularly critical of PGMOL, and has been for years. It's 11 years since he was in charge of refs (when Riley took over), and pretty much loathes Riley.

I bet he won't say anywhere near as much as he could though.Hackett is regularly critical of PGMOL, and has been for years. It's 11 years since he was in charge of refs (when Riley took over), and pretty much loathes Riley.
Sorry Trevor but that’s no true, he regularly slaughters PGMOL and particularly Riley. I think he was completely wrong about Tierney though who had a nightmare.Hackett will have singed the same NDA as the rest of the cabal.

We were awarded a similar penalty first in that Stoke game, but yes, it all seemed to fade away soon after.Cast your mind back to 2016 and Manchester City start the season away at Stoke City, In line with a new PIGMOL directive Mike Dean clamps down on contact in the box and awards Stoke a penalty out of nothing. Apparently Shawcross couldn`t break free from Sterling in the box. But the pundits all said it`s what is now expected under the new rules in the box. The following weekend it`s ops normal as the physical element returned in the box.
Now back to the current season. We open the season with a game at Spuds where under a new PIGMOL directive Alty Fan Taylor endeavours to keep the game flowing while allowing Tanganga to perform acts of unpunished violence, This successful aggressive approach earns Tanganga the MOTM and the pundits plaudits However, once again normal refereeing services resume in the following weeks as Tanganga sees red when being sent off at Palace whilst taking the same approach to wild tackling.
So we all play under the same rules PIGMOL, yeh right?

The situation in refereeing is simple. The rules and referees cannot be wrong.I wonder how many Liverpool fans would be calling a foul by Henderson if it was in the penalty box. Non I would guess, but now they are using it to save Milner you would think Henderson booted bernardo into row z for him to get up and Milner to then foul him.
Gallagher was good to bring up that its still a yellow by Milner even if its given for a foul by Henderson. Course scousers ignore that and make out that Henderson foul saves Milner.
I really dont get how Gallagher on ref watch has said no foul because Foden trips himself up. Its clear as day that Milner makes contact on Foden first so pen. I have seen Gallagher defend decisions given by the ref, saying "the way he reffed the game it wasn't a foul". He couldnt do that this time as Cancelo got a yellow for even less contact but pretty much the same type of foul.
Daft post mate.Me and my mate was talking about this morning and the foul on Phil Foden by James Milner and we came to the conclusion that neither of us had ever seen VAR being used at klanfield. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’ve never seen lines drawn across the pitch to check potential offsides and I can’t recollect if the ref has ever gone over to the TV on the touch line to check a decision.
