VAR Discussion Thread - 2023/24 | PL clubs to vote on whether to scrap VAR (pg413)

I think the narrative is that City have benefitted more than anyone else so watch out for a levelling up of decisions over the season

And 3 of the incidents they had picked showing to favour City,even if they where the right decisions..

"Oli"
"Brooksy"
"Tayles"

The refs think they are footballers as well.

Maybe this audio will make them sound more professional in future.

I think the programme is a huge step in the right direction. Webb claims he wants more transparency. They therefore need to analyse ALL the controversial incidents so that we can hear the decision making process that occurred for each. If they miss any obvious ones out, we will know it's a cover up and a sham.

ALL is the key word.

Has any other audio of other var conversations been released or just city?

First show.

Three calls shown that benefit City.

Fuck all about Rashford or Salah.

Let's see if these examples "balances out" over the season.

Thats how you know its bullshit, it has taken city supposedly benefitting for this to happen, why didnt this happen after the utd wolves game, why now?

Webb: "certainly appears Akanji has an impact on the goalkeeper who seems to hesitate"

With words like "appears" and "seems to" who could argue with such certainty.

VAR is garbage whether it goes for us or against us. If they insist on keeping it then we must hear the discussion in real time. The discussion should always go "this is fucking awful for fans, shall we get rid lads?"

It's bonkers. He's assuming the keeper is hesitating because Akanji is moving but Akanji is being wary enough to get out of the way. Otherwise any movement of any player stood in an offside position in future could be deemed to be affecting the keeper, they might as well change the rule.

This is all about Webb and his massive ego, why the hell is he on tv subjectively judging his own employees?
