Ref Watch

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Swarbrick's off at the end of the season.
Webb culling the people who don't know how VAR is meant to work?

And he's gonna replace 'em with refs who are oblivious to anything that happens to teams not clad in red.

Is this confirmed or your speculation? He was in charge of VAR until last season. It's a sad, but correct indictment of his ability if he gets fired so suddenly.

Ornstein is reporting it. At the time of posting I wasn't sure, hence the ?

I think I posted since that the line is that it was a pre-planned move. 5 years of VARce is probably enough for anyone.

Well it can't be due to boredom with the system, seeing as the PiGMOL reps regularly find new and innovative ways of ignoring the honest and correct interpretation of how it should be applied.

Every game seems to introduce another fuck up by the officials , unless of course they are not really errors .

 

[ShedDweller]

Only if they had any chance of getting to the ball. None of the people behind Casemiro could have got anywhere near it after it was headed.
Certainly one player was in an offside position, but I thought it was Weghorst - I thought Shaw took the freekick,

I thought its Shaw but it doesn’t really matter. One of them was clearly a yard offside and it didn’t seem to register… what a fucking joke the game has well and truly gone.

I think we can add Hollywood bankrolled Wrexham to the Red list after the way Notts County’s last game was reffed

& if there was any doubt Danny Simpson told Undr the cosh that Clattenburg said to the Leicester players I should have sent you off there but I didn’t cos I want you to win the league.

How many times do we hear it, of course it’s all in our heads & no need for it to be investigated.

 

[TinFoilHat]

Remember a couple of years ago Sky trumpeted they would be showing CGI replays of real time events such as offside decisions.

That quickly disappeared. Maybe they were too realistic to blow some decisions out of the water.

Last week I repeated something I’d read that TV Commentators could hear what the VARs were communicating to referees during a game and a few people asked where I’d seen this.

I couldn’t remember but the ESPN guy referenced it in an article I’ve just read, so I thought I’d reproduce it on the off chance anybody who asked is still interested.

Neville and Spitty have mentioned it for years they can hear what is being said.

The question is does it work both ways? There's was suggestion with the rags v Brighton game a goal was disallowed because Neville was repeatedly saying it shouldn't count before the decision was made.

Hearing the conversation in real time would put my mind at rest that the equipment in the PL is not being used to manipulate outcomes.

Well the authorities are quite adamant that there is strictly no outside influence in the VAR room. I’m sure not everybody will believe that’s but that’s what they say.

That's what they say. You've seen evidence on here of Chris Foy working for the Daily Mail admitting being in proximity of it.


Another thing....

I've noticed in Serie A, La Liga, and Ligue 1 TV productions show the VAR team in their office as part of the pre kick off presentation. The only footage we've ever seen of Stockley park during a game was Bein Sports showing Swarbrick allegedly having a heated debate with a VAR team at half time of a game a couple of years ago.


I just want myths busted and transparency. Until then my username stays on until that occurs.

I personally haven’t seen any evidence of anybody who shouldn’t be suggesting they’ve been in the VAR room while a match was in progress but who knows?

Hope the club have asked for an explanation for the Arsenal penalty v us when last weekend, 2 identical incidents resulted in no penalties, like all the other similar incidents before our Arsenal game. One of the games was Taylor who somehow decided it was a penalty v us but the same incident last weekend, he did not give anything. This is where we need to be asking questions and putting pressure on

Whichever way it works, that cvnt's voiced opinions are given far too much weight and worth by too many especially as he's a man who obviously has skewed opinions based on his allegiances and "friends"

Wouldn't be surprised one iota if the officials took his "professional opinion" on board with regards to making certain decisions, the scouse spitter less so.

Unfortunately the reply would be a load of baloney. Something like "the ball touched Pickford before he clobbered Watkins so Subbuteo rules apply."

Not even mentioned on Ref Watch on Sky on Monday.They seemed to debate very little at some considerable length

 

[Harvster]

To be fair to him, Blind Andre is one of the 'better' refs, takes laid back to a new level - compare and contrast with Ghosty Attwell losing the plot all the time.
Only time he got at all excited last night was when one of the Bristol players tried giving him some verbals first half and (utilising my amazing lip reading skills) pretty sure Marriner responded with "who do you think you're talking to?"

 

[Saddleworth2]

yet again, watched an immaculate performance of refereeing France vs Scotland six nations on Sunday. Sent two players off and his rationale and discussion with TMO logical and clear because its all miked up. He had some huge calls to make but zero controversy.
