No one UK coverage outlet covered Neil Swarbrick entering the VAR room during a match and talking to the officials. Breaking their own rules on securing the room during matches.I have seen this footage many times before and remember the match at the time. There can be no other explanation for this other than it was a corrupt game. The United players knew what they were doing and seemed aware they have been given a free licence to foul.
This match was the moment I knew for sure that some officials were corrupt. I am not a conspiracy theorist and don't believe the entire game is corrupt but there clearly have been specific instances involving specific officials.
The fact that Mike Riley is in charge of VAR says it all. It is also interesting to see how complicit the broadcast commentators were (especially Tyler) in what happened during this match.
If you go back and read what I said earlier in this thread, a post that you "liked" regarding my suggestions, so have a read.well this is the crux of it.
Do we go back to when many perceive football as corrupt and being outraged by officials allowing players to dive with zero contact for penalty’s , allowing players who are clearly miles offside to score, allow players to get away with leg breaking tackles and off the ball incidences
Or do we find a way to use VAR without it being too pantomime, surely we can look at ways to change the laws rather than blame VAR which ultimately is just there for the referee to take a clearer look at what he missed.
I really believe we must continue improving VAR rather than binning it and going back to when football was ‘corrupt’ and the many farcical decisions that seem to have been forgotten nowadays.
I do stress I am not a VAR ‘lover’ I just think it can and should improve the game over time, unfortunately too many are in the mindset of being against VAR - even when it has (on many occasions) helped give the right decisions.
Simple as this.VAR would be a great asset used correctly. At present it is the same incompetent PGMOL employees operating it as those officiating at the actual games.
Sort PGMOL’s employees out and you improve the standard of officiating, leave it as it is and nothing will improve.

I can't see and neither do I wish for VAR to being thrown out altogether, I simply wish for it to be used "correctly" and consistently. Some hope
When did this happen?No one UK coverage outlet covered Neil Swarbrick entering the VAR room during a match and talking to the officials. Breaking their own rules on securing the room during matches.
Leicester v WolvesWhen did this happen?
VAR would be a great asset used honestly and transparently by allowing the decisions to be miked up and heard by the supporters. At present it is the same corrupt and incompetent PGMOL employees operating it as those officiating at the actual games.
I want it to work. Problem is it doesn’t. It is technically flawed for offsides in particularAnd that's why i liked it.
unfortunately, people who are against it - don't want it to work, and even when it gets decisions right they are not happy.

Am glad we are making progress at least with you Blue Hammer. Good to see you admit that the tech is flawedunless they can change the offside law ...

Please do go onI think the laws flawed not the tech.
I'm in the "IT'S UTTER SHIT" camp, I'm against it. More against it's application, like the idea of technology. It's here now, and it feels like it's here to stay, so my hope (Bob?) is that it's used "right". I really want it to work, and I think used in the "right" way it would be brilliant. As fans we shouldn't ever have been worried that it's was there, sold to us as an extra pair of eyes, a near fool proof back up V"assistant"R. Important distinction being that these were eyes that only got involved when the three pairs of on field officials eyes missed something "clear and obvious". It should have been that we knew something BIG had gone off when it piped up, but like I say previously, some hope.And that's why i liked it.

It's almost as if they deliberately selected the area where VAR would be least effective whilst also needing the most "fine tuning" to implement it without too much questioning of the decision. Could've been a decent tool if it'd been applied well, but "clear and obvious" feels like a "We'll save £350million per week if we Brexit" sticker that's stuck on the side of one of Dominic Cumming's buses.I want it to work.

Wouldn't be the first time...:)Or am I being delusional?
Ooh turning backs that’ll show em
