Ref Watch

[MillionMilesAway]

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.

Jon Moss had another bad game, yet everytime he does it seems to favour certain teams over others.
Pretty much like most referees, for some reason when they have bad games it always seems to help certain teams or hinder others.
For some reason today Moss helped Liverpool. I expect tomorrow the ref will allow lots of overly physical challenges and late tackles for one team, but punish the other everytime the opposition collapse to the floor irrespective of the level of contact. Wonder which one will be us and which one will be Wolves.

Yes I wear a tin hat, but that doesn't make me wrong.

Moss is retiring at the end of the season and that performance smacked as a "couldn't give a fuck"

 

[John Wayne]

Jon Moss used to be James Milner's PE teacher. Hmmm......

They wan't another 93:20 with a different outcome, and have been working towards it from game 1 this season.

It's ALL bout the product with these c*nts.

 

[waspish]

Moss retiring is he getting a job in the Var box?

You know they're thinking it....
"Imagine 93 20 but with lfc or utd"

 

[Kippax77]

It's amazing how McTominay (last season when the Rags were getting shoehorned for 2nd place) and Fabinho (this season as the Dippers fight for the title) have been reffed in exactly the same way by different officials throughout 2 seasons.
Coincidence?
Bollocks this as been the corrupt fuckers weak spot in their system, because we can all see this.
Both seem to be able to constantly foul without a booking until the 79th minute +
They think the rest of us fans are stupid and they can just mug us off.
Bent officiating is blatant in the Premier league towards the cash cows of their product.
This isn't a conspiracy theory

 

[mat]

For standards of officiating our last game think the final round of F1 last season. I think it will be on that scale.

That is my suspicion as well.


City cruising. Dodgy VAR sends off a blue. Villa score.

Dippers get a last minute dodgy pen to win the league...

It also pisses over our 10 year celebration of winning our first title. Giving the "Bantz" army something to attack us with post season.

 

[kippaxwarrior]

Moss retiring is he getting a job in the Var box?

No don't think so. He has a couple of record shops in Leeds.

Dean is set to become head of VAR though

 

[Sheik Battle and Goal]

Well we all saw it last night with our very own eyes.

It was laid out in front of us like a platter.

Good challenges by Villa were blown up as fouls.

Liverpool fouls were waved away play carry on.

Pulling Villa back when there was clear advantage.

Getting in the way when Villa were breaking.

It was appalling bias.
