VAR - 2020/21

[dickie davies]

Does everyone on here really believe this ? Or is this just a minority internet conspiracy?

the FA and ‘Powers’ sit round a table before the start of the season and decide who’s going to win the league, really ?

They cannot decide who wins the league or gets relegated, but they can influence it

so every time Liverpool and Man U win the league it’s influenced. Every time it’s someone else it’s because they didn’t influence enough ... right ?

I didn't say that

I said the FA CAN influence

A referee can influence a game, but he cannot guarantee a result

A few years ago the head of the FA said in an interview they really wanted a different winner every year and they have a plan in place

the team with the most money and best players will predominantly win more games. That’s all there is too it and it’s why Man City win so much - nothing to do with influence by officials.

I have thought many times about giving it up because it is "fixed" but I love City

As a perfect example of a referee influencing a game, read up on the 2016 cup final utd vs palace and Clattenburg's performance, plus it's easy to source pictures of him taken with Ferguson before kick off

To be fair, we were 3-0 up with 4 minutes to go. I remember thinking, it was such a poorly struck penalty, it didn't deserve a re-take.

In the Scotland game last night, where VAR was in operation, Marshall saved a penalty in the shoot out after having clearly left his line, yet the kick was not retaken. Does that rule only apply to penalties in normal play?
