Referees’ Performances | 2024/2025

[SheeshKebab]

Calling it out now. I think we're going to see some dodgy calls tonight. Us getting in the Champions League would be devastating for Scudamore

 

[MikeF]

I was just about to ask who from the FA will explain that decision?

David Gill. Just for giggles.

Ah, the good old days when there was no VAR and we thought Scudamore was the biggest arsehole imaginable. Nostalgia.

He’s been retired over 6 years.

Not sure he’s got his finger on the pulse anymore.

Having settled for Howard Webb, PiGMOL have aligned with Masters at the PL in order to ensure a perfect alliance in favour of a more " elite " club leading the way forward. ):

 

[pride in battle]

The 2 worst VAR decisions have been both against us...
The Rashford offside and the Cup final one, BOTH incidents 100% we were shafted, why should we put up with shit like that ?
It's bent or they clearly hate us that much they are prepared to break the rules to fuck us over.
The F.A & the Premier League can go & fuck itself, extra booing tonight please boys & girls

"As to the monitor - yes I think this was one for the on field referee to go and look and to take responsibility for whatever decision he wants to make."

I'm told that the referee can only go to the monitor if the VAR tells him/her that they should do so.

So VAR are reffing the match then. I thought it was just to help the ref. Surely the ref can ask to see the replay.

Yeah I am sure he has come out of retirement just to do us over tonight. Will the refs ensure we pass 5465291 times as slow as possible too?

Forgotten his name. Chief Exec of the Premier League lmao

Attwell and Cann both involved, coincidence?

The whole VAR set up seems to me shrouded in mystery, I’m just reporting what several referees who claim to know about these things are saying. They do not appear to follow the IFAB protocol completely but operate in a way which allows them to argue black is white or vice versa as suits their case. If we go back to the Attwell non offside in the Derby we were told that VAR Oliver couldn’t get involved because it was a subjective decision. In this case the VAR has made a subjective decision (that it is not DOGSO) even though the on field referees did not see the factual offence to be able to make their own subjective judgement.

Penalty area not a goal scoring opportunity on Saturday. Just in side half is on Tuesday

Just come here to say the same thing

To be fair, it was a nailed on red. What gets on my nerves is that they can’t wait to give the red when it’s against us, then of course it’s never going to get overturned. Such is life.

Obviously the same scenario and same exact play will never happen, but I want to know what VAR does if the club from Salford are involved instead of Manchester’s own

Don’t forget Liverpool also had a very bad VAR decision against Spurs last season.

 

[danielwood5]

Don’t forget Liverpool also had a very bad VAR decision against Spurs last season.

That was a communication error where the VAR team came to the right decision but it wasn't communicated properly to the referee.
The two examples that were against us were examples of the refereeing team either rewriting the laws mid-game or ignoring them altogether to influence the outcome of a game which, in my opinion, is magnitudes worse.

Well a guy slipped over the other day against them,which meant he followed through with a foul. Red straight out

my mind went back to when Terry was sent off for a similar offence on Jo,the incident was much closer to the goal yet the red was rescinded as it was decided the forward had too far to travel
