The PGMOL Apologies Thread

[flook]

They know that the no penalty v wolves was a bit obvious ,i had an inkling if there was a decision yesterday it wouldn't go united's way, hey presto they didn't give united what looked like a definite penalty( according to the poxy rules at the moment) , now whatever you say ,for or against united that shows they are talking about decisions before matches imo or are being influenced , and that is a big worry.

Var actually works, (i don't like it mind you) what does not work is the mystery surrounding the decisions , we need to hear why a decision is or isn't given , ok they apologised, but nowadays every fucker is apologising about something or other ,as if that make things better , but i don't need an apology ,i need a reason , im sure the wolves manager would prefer an explanation rather than a weak half hearted apology

until they start giving explanations , then as far as im concerned things are being manipulated

nailed it

that's a penalty all day every day under todays rules, the only possible mitigation is how close the shot came from, but that's largely ignored with hand positions like that

Have to agree makes it all the more enjoyable though.

I'm beginning to move away from the idea that VAR is biased in favour of certain sides and from some of the conspiracy theories on here. I'm moving towards the fact that some (or most) of the people running VAR are totally incompetent.

Utd v Wolves def pen, but the Rags should have had a pen last night. In my head is still that Rhodri gand ball we got away with against Everton a few years back.

VAR is just shit.

Same here though I think they didn't give utd that decision because they had decided not to. And that was because of last week s decision.

Hence that is not refereeing to the standards of the game, but to the politics around it. It's still corrupt if that's the case because what's to say they won't decide anything else.

Corrupt or inept.

By todays standards of applying the daft handball rules,that should have been given.
If that handball has happened against us, I'd be shouting for it,along with the vast majority.
The ridiculous inconsistencies are at the root of the distrust.

I use the 1970's rule. Would it have been given then ? Answer no. Since the 70's the authorities have done everything they possibly can to confuse and fuck up a simple rule. I thought this season the refs were
meant to accept the ball may inadvertently hit a players hand without it being a penalty.
He was not making himself bigger or trying to block the shot with his arm, but to be honest, who knows.

You don't get that Wolves decision wrong unless you want to. It's as simple as that.

Or told too

in this case he WAS making himself bigger (although not necessarily intentionally), had it not hit his hand it would have been past him and potentially a shot on target
