Webb has confirmed that the “Mic’d up” show is going to be a regular monthly programme, starting in September.

I’ll forgive them the rather underwhelming pilot show last season. Hopefully we’ll get to see/ hear something of a bit more interest.

God speed on your solo mission to try and bring some objectivity to this thread. This will be my only post on this thread.

99% of people on here aren’t here to really debate VAR, they’re here to show how it is 100% corrupt against us.

All the best, Stephen.

Worth noting all clubs feel there’s corruption and agenda’s against them. Boring and tedious.

First glance I just saw him taken down. Thought Walker was overreacting.
Then I saw the replay.
Can’t fathom how fans wouldn’t want a ref to have the chance of a second look.

Exactly the same Thought it was poor but in the replay it’s disgraceful A red all day long an hope the twat gets one back
 
Just seen the penalties Coote gave for Brighton and Luton. Is he taking the piss or gave the LOTG changed again. Mike Dean said yesterday that the Luton penalty wasn’t one as he wasn’t even looking at the ball. Didn’t stop refs last season giving penalties cough cough FA Cup final. More importantly Dunk‘s arm was in an entirely natural position, hit his elbow tucked into his body yet ref and VAR still give penalty. As for the Brighton one, Luton’s defender just stronger. Complete joke yet again.
 
Refs and VAR will always favour the bigger teams (including us). The likes of Luton will lose points in at least 3 games over the season. Apologies mean nothing when there isn't a sincere effort to not make the same mistake multiple times.

It's the non-top 6 imo who should be shouting for consistency.

Also it's all City's fault and deserve to be docked points.

It is becoming more and more difficult to anticipate when a penalty will be given. And I imagine it is getting especially frustrating for the players directly dealing with the growing inconsistency.

Thanks for that is a great watch. I like seeing that side of the game.

Maybe I'm not remembering correctly but I could've sworn that there was a statement from some at pgmol or the pl saying that they weren't allowed to release the footage like that so had to summarise it only?

Edit- my mistake.
“We can’t play it live in game. That is not allowed within the laws of the game. FIFA don’t allow it to be played out during the game."

Because the last time they trialled it they had to stop it after 1 game due to a coked up (probably) Tony Adams continuously swearing his head off

Yeah, that is definitely the reason and there is no way to fix the swearing issue. ;-)

Yes, that was the excuse given. And then several other officials said that it is not true and there is technically no prohibition of live official communications.
 
I thought they were using the graphic they use in the Chumps League this season for offsides?
Is it called the semi automated system or summat?!

This wouldn’t work here because:

1. VAR would not intervene.

2. If VAR did have the bollox, the ref would look at the screen, shrug shoulders and carry on with initial decision.

The implementation of VAR isn’t the issue, it’s the direction that the powers that be have chosen to take.
