Ref Watch

So no reason for a rule to have them then.

Like I said is there a "rule" to have big screens, or just a rule to have a var screen for the official ? Which both have.

I’ve mentioned last few pages what a complete f*ck up that was and it was the totally wrong decision

There’s little point highlighting bad decisions and asking to explain as it’s always going to happen

Those links i posted of Man Utd fans in uproar over decisions that’s gone against them - would you really have the energy to explain why those fans are wrong ? Each and every one of those decisions are clearly just bad/wrong/marginal outcomes by the refs that have gone against them

There’s no excuse for Rashford & in the highest profile game of the week which likely impacts the title no action was taken against the referee.

I'm with you - transparency should be a part of the game.

AI will change this all though - 4 years out is my prediction - possibly 10 at the most.

Whomever the ref for City v. Wolves - he was weak from the get-go - was it Johnathan Moss?

No it was David Coote, fairly new to ythe PL.

Moss has retired, to be part of the var team, couldn't run any more basically.

Cheers - Coote was fucking wank!

No action has ever been taken against a referee for a bad decision like that.

You know there is clubs fighting for their survivals and struggling to stay afloat financially in the lower leagues ?- yet god awful refereeing decisions can cost them relegation etc

The impacts of poor decisions are felt for every club - luckily for Man City since the introduction of VAR you have had your most successful period ever and completely dominating English football

If you are being refereed differently then they are making a big bodge job over it

We won't get transparency until the mikes are live to those in the stadium, the ones who've paid their money to be there, and not just for TV audiences.

I think that is down to the team not var to be fair.

That’s not true. They never admit it but even Kevin Friend was dropped after awarding the Dippers a dubious pen v Palace.
