Ref Watch

But please tell me that the 3 in question are not going to sit in the VAR booth next season,because that will be just as bad

My understanding is:
Moss - 'manager' of the top SG1 group. I'm not sure what that involves - ringing them up to see if they're free at the weekend?
Atkinson - coach of the SG1 group. A change and new ideas are good things, but I have no idea if this is particularly important.
Dean - not in the Rileyzone; likely to go into the media side.

Which I get to a degree but I don’t know. If as instructed as you say that Villa goal is disallowed. I might be naive but I’d rather believe they are just shit

To me it isn't about instructing the referee to ensure the dippers win the league. It is about ensuring a title race. Selling the product is what counts, a nail biting finish brings that.
It's why Milner wasn't sent off v us, those last frantic 15 minutes wouldn't have happened if he had been. It kept the tv viewers watching.

Yep, but same old same old, forgotten by everyone after 24 hours.

Jon Moss just looked old and unfit, he really struggled to keep up with play.

Are you saying that was why it was a shit performance ?
If so why are journalist calling him out ?

Why's Henderson wearing a mic?

I thought Dean was going to be a full time VAR official!

Watches the first half and I bet villa fans were fuming at his performance. Let Liverpool get away with everything almost. One challenge, I think it was Douglas Luis, the Liverpool player stands on his foot and he goes over and grabs the ball as he falls, and the ref gives a free kick to Liverpool.

Replays clearly show what was visible anyway, studs right into the lads foot.

Desperate to keep the title race alive, aren't they!

So he can let the ref and the VAR wallahs know when to award the Dippers a free kick, a penalty and when to send off one of the opposition players.

I had thought so too.

However, it appears that was an initial "in talks with" comment in March.
In April, he said that he hadn't been offered a VAR position- this was also reported at the end of April.
