The PGMOL Apologies Thread

[waspish]

I'm not sure if I've missed a rule change, but how is the Ederson 'foul' away at Arsenal, a clear and obvious error from the referee, and then last night's isn't?

I mean we all know the answer, but how is a 6 foot 5 keeper flying out of his net in mid air, and wiping out an attacker not both clear and obvious!

There's just no accountability at all, and despite the fact that Cooper will probably watch it back and think 'fuck sake, that's a stone waller', he can just crack on with the weekends game knowing that there's no repercussions or aftermath to deal with.

Like someone else said, we'll see a less clear and obvious one of those this weekend, which will be given.

The referee gave it so goes to var they say not clear and obvious so can't overrule it! It's how they can manipulate games! Also referees are instructed when they go to the rags the scousers to be 100% sure before giving a pen and now they have they have var to fall back on so never give a pen unless the rags are winning

Also why is howard webb et al only ever available for interview by sky etc who are just going to let him gloss over the crap, if as he says football isnt bent why doesnt he meet or be interviewed by fans who watch the games and can give him specific examples of why FANS believe that football is bent

The same reason they will occasionally allow Sky to release audio from the referees. Only very specific audio that shows them in a good light, of course.

Ref gives it, don't overrule. Ref doesn't give it, don't overrule. Easy to manipulate games and hide behind the 'rules.'

Everyone knows it was a clear and obvious mistake. They are taking everyone for fools, laughing in our faces. Seemingly nobody has the balls to derail this gravy train

Why haven’t they brought the teams back out to give the penalty? They practically did it for United against Brighton, what would be the fucking difference here?

Apologies aren't points. Fucking outrageous.

Id like to see var decisions that go against them too on here. Full picture would be good but it certainly looks very suspicious.

Any apologies will be added, it's an apology thread which I deem to mean only the absolutely crystal clear inconceivably bad decisions :)

 

[TinFoilHat]

Martin Atkinson will apologise to Spurs Saturday night....

 

[Bluearmy]

Great shout. We should keep an independent list of bent decisions favouring the cartel club across the season!! Didnt take long for them to get up and running this season!!

Webb will be delighted

Yes, but that's the thing. The refs dont give decisions against the cartel clubs. They never did in the past and never will now.
