VAR - 2020/21

[TheCentralScrutinizer]

When asked about the Fred head-butt (before the yellow card), Walton was 100% definite it was a red card offence. When the match ref' produced a yellow and everybody was condemning the decision, Walton said "He (the ref') isn't wrong, just of a different opinion". In effect "I can never be wrong".

thing is is wasn't a matter of opinion....violent conduct is a red card offence not yellow.........

Unless you play in Red......

They think that trawling out c*nt's like Peter Walton on BT helps to clear up any confusion, when 9 times out of 10 he agrees with the match officials and is likely to be complicit in the cover up.

I wonder why the PiGMOL make officials sign a non-disclosure agreement?

Bit of a stab in the dark, but maybe there are things they don’t want disclosing?

Lineker asked him at HT (or maybe it was FT, I can't remember and I've got no VAR to go back and check) to clarify his understanding of the rules saying that he believed the rules were that VAR could only check for specific things, namely red card offences missed by the officials, and not for other things, such as issuing yellow cards/second yellow cards ...etc. (which was and still is my understanding as well).

Walton, visibly sweating like an ant under a magnifying glass, bumbled on about VAR not telling the ref to issue a yellow, but simply to go and have a look at the incident, and that it was obviously the ref's opinion that it wasn't worthy of a red and so issued a yellow, which he then said was his prerogative, or other such bollocks, then ending the discussion with a definitive, "so no Gary, he wasn't wrong".

I have never heard such bullshit in all my life.

Brown envelopes? Illicit payments?

It was a binary decision: Did he make contact with his head; yes or no.

If yes, it's deemed as violent conduct and there is only a single course of action, a Red card.

What transpired was a farce, and Walton was complicit in the cover up.

It was as clear a red card offence as you could have.

The referee completely abdicated his responsibility by not sending the stupid twat off. The rags can have no complaints whatsoever.

If it had been a player of any other club ( well dippers also obviously ) the player would have been dismissed straight away.

These fuckers get away with so much from corrupt refereeing officials that it is blatantly obvious.

Asking Peter Walton for his opinions is clearly nonsense as that fraud is as bent as a nine bob note.

The proof that the rags always have and always will get away with blatant fouls , time and time again.

And the referees are totally compliant with their constant abuses .

If you listened to Peter Waltons opinion on Saturday about the Brighton last minute pen v Liverpool then you would have heard similar bullshit. When the incident occurred Peter Walton was wheeled out. He claimed no pen and doubted VAR would even look. But VAR did look and the pen was awarded when the ref saw the monitor.

After the game Peter Walton, sweating like an ant under a magnifying glass, bumbled on about a "clear and obvious error". His contradictory convoluted circular argument eventually petered out into nothing as he disappeared up his own arse hole.
