The end of the agenda debate?

[Neville Kneville]

In work today Liverpool fan talking about the pro bias city enjoy, favourable decisions, refs on our books, bribes from the top...he was foaming at the mouth. He was deadly serious. Just goes to show how focusing on things that go in/against favour can make you think in a certain way.

That's because Liverpool fans expect every single decision to favour them, even if they are not playing.

And they whine so much when anyone else gets a decision, or they don't, allied by their media, that people hesitate about the next decision.

Same as Ferguson.

The complicated rules have become too much for our simplistic referees.

They have had it all season.
Which is why it’s quite a surprise the pitch side camera didn’t work at Schalke.

I wonder in how many games in Germany since they have had VAR has the monitor not worked. I am guessing more than zero but less than two. Strange really and yet another coincidence that has happened to City in the past few years. Bit like how many times has three minutes injury time been added in injury time because a goal was scored?

The thing with bias against us and agenda is it's not always about what they say about us.
Often it's what they don't say. Example, not once have the broadcasting media mentioned how well we are currently defending our title. Look at some of the more recent title defenses (yes I'm looking at you scum) and Chelsea. Not only have they made a hash of it but they finished outside the top four.

We don't get the credit for our successes. Despite being the only team in the history of the premier league to finish the season on 100 points the media are not willing to recognise us as one of the greats until we do it back-to-back. Did Arsenal have to achieve back-to-back invincibility before they were regarded as greats?

It’s just a coincidence that it broke down when we played, a further coincidence that the ref didn’t follow the agreed UEFA protocols, another coincidence that the rules for handball were re-written, and a coincidence this weekend that the ref actually came out and said he made an error which is incredibly rare these days.

There is clearly an agenda in the champions league

I was watching the game via NBCSN. Within a minute of the goal, the commentator stated they’d had word from ‘PGMOL’ that the goal should not have been allowed. Why is an American broadcaster getting heads up immediately from PGMOL?

The plot thickens...
My thoughts are that i was correct in saying there is a central video unit covering every top game jn this country. .it is or was referred to as The VAR Hub
Based at The Premier League Match Centre' in Stocckley Park,a short drive from Heathrow airport.....it has prob bin there years..

When the var trials were announced in this country,the Daily mail informed the public that the video assistsnt ref would be in " constant contact with the referees via their usual headsets"

It seems..on bt matches anyway, that the refs are already wired up to not just the match day officials ,but outside officials too.

And ,to answer your question, ive no idea why pgmol would be informing an overseas broadcaster of their opinion on a refs decision......but its an indication of wh at i think has been going on ever since the mouth peices were introduced. .its just been kept very quiet....

Who did Anfhony Taylor speak to when he changed his red card to a yellow for Luiz.?..i dont think it was a linesman.put it thatway.the ref saw the incident clearly which is why he immediately ran towards it at full speed.then stopped snd spoke into his mouth peice at length.
