Stats are not useless, people just misinterpret them.

For example, you have taken it upon yourself to assume I posted the stats to make a point about the quality of officiating and VAR, which is all entirely in your head.

What I posted was simply who gets the most penalties in the league.

And again, no, time in the box would be an incredibly shit way to decide who should have the most penalties for the reasons I already explained. What even is "time in the box" seconds? number of touches? number of passes in the box? It's not a thing.

What's the most common cause of penalties? handballs from crosses into a congested.. box? Don't need to spend time int he box to ge them. 1v1's? Don't need to be in the box for them.

Oh come on. Burnley will get less penalties since they attack / spend less time in the opposition half nevermind the penalty area.
City are an attacking team, moreso that utd for example.
Nice to see us getting more penalties though, really does (not) change the narrative from City fans about how poorly we are treated by refs.
 
Maybe someone can list the penalties we have been awarded that shouldn’t because I can certainly list quite a few that weren’t. Aguero and the assault by Crashley anyone?
 
Apparently VAR personnel had a presentation from airline pilots about the use of clear language. A big issue is the use of informalities like 'mate' and 'cheers', or using nicknames.

I can now see a huge mistake happening. People who have reffed for two decades, and called each other mate, and signed off with cheers all that time, will fuck up the actual decision while trying to remember what to call each other!

Clear language is a good idea. However ALL conversations should be available for us. Its obviously been too pally ("Oli", "Mads" etc). Clear, precise language would also expose any bias be it unconsciously.

We never got the recording for the goal at the swamp did we? I'm convinced its because someone said "fuck it, it's city. Goal."

Flights of fancy more likely!
