ALL is the key word.
All in real time please. I thought the recorded conversations were illuminating and if they are bona fide then we are going in the right direction. What is needed now is for a he conversation to be played live at the game.
What I thought was a disgrace was Webber undermining of his officials at the Ake goal. Trying to make out it was a clear mistake. What a **** ,
 
Some people don't half have a weird almost dipper-like obsession in thinking absolutely everything is aimed negatively at us.

We've just benefitted hugely from a decision that was clear as day to everybody who's ever seen a game of football that it was the wrong call and yet some believe the officials a tually acknowledging the glaring error is somehow a pre-meditated long term plan to fuck us over.

There would be dozens and dozens of pages laughing at it if these conspiracy theories were pulled from rawk.
 
I don’t often bother with these threads but there’s something bothersome about PGMOL. Can’t quite figure out why but when I hear the referees communicate in football it sounds odd. Yet when I watch Rugby League/Union it sounds far more coherent and all around more professional.
I thought it was chaos, not complete chaos but not even coherent at times. It was like whoever shouted loudest makes the call. Probably not that but certainly agree with you it not very professional.

I think in some aspects you're wrong mate, the issue for me isnt that we benefitted from a dodgy decision its how it was reported and played out in the media, as i have said in the past, skys actual headline was city beat fulham 5-1 after contentious second goal, like that singular incident was central to the whole game, at no point were there any headlines saying utd eek out win against wolves after none penalty call or utd helped to victory over forest after contentious sending off and penalty, or how about liverpool put 3 past bournemouth after surprising penalty decisions.

Of course it was a contentious and downright dodgy decision but as i have said in the past and other people have said to put that as the headline and defining point of the game and literally have programmes on a tuesday night after the game was on a saturday still discussing it is crazy, where was all this when utd, arsenal, liverpool all benefitted from contentious decisions that actually were game changers.

Theres nothing professional about them, mike dean admitting that he didnt follow the rules to protect his mate which is tantamount to match fixing and then taking a wage as a reffing expert and having the gall to commentate games on sky show what an entirely shameless bunch they are

Quite right. The lack of terminology from the laws is astounding. The Onana incident. Late, very late, clumsy. What is all that about? It's like two guys discussing it in a pub.

The discussion should be: Was he making a challenge? Yes. Did he show a lack of attention or consideration? Yes ("clumsy"), offense, direct free kick. Penalty. Did he act with disregard to the safety of (or consequences to) an opponent? Yes. Yellow card. Did he use excessive force? No. No red card.

Done and dusted, and explained with the LOTG so everyone can understand it in ten seconds.

It's like amateur hour. Don't they get any training? Too busy with Webbsy, Deansy and all the other cuntsies in their first-class gym and canteen, I imagine.
 
Going by reports, As expected, covered the Ake goal but not Dippers Salah offside one. Both exactly the same but media coverage a complete joke as one keeps getting pushed into the headlights and one not mentioned and forgotten.

Covered the Onana Wolves one as they have already apologised so an easy one tp pick but nothing on the Forest game with the penalty and incorrect red card Where the officiating led to Forest making a complaint.

Nothing on Dippers 2 penalty, both wrong, decisions v Bournemouth.
Luton penalty claim v West Ham ?

Would have been interesting for audio from FA Cup final.

Careful cherry picking by Webb. Until they make all audio from all games available nothing will improve and these shows are just PR and pointless with them carefully selecting what to release

Not only all audio available but live and in real time, it just shows how little trust people have in pgmol that immediately people think well thats probably edited anyway.

Think you summarized it pretty well.

Not really the same, Salah is blocking the keepers view. Ours the keeper has a clear view !
 
Sky sports and PiGMOBS new gaslighting slot is all it is.
It's EXACTLY what it is. They pretend they're being open to minor criticism, but then they are laser focused on one particular incident whilst ignoring other similar incidents altogether.

Yes, Ake was offside, and I wouldn't have been bothered if the goal had been chalked off for interfering with play, but then for these cnuts to just airbrush the fact that Salah was smack bang in the middle of the keepers eye line is a joke.

The show has nothing to do with Sky. Its a Premier League Productions show distributed all over the world to the Premier League rights holders, so was also shown (or will be as it was originally supposed to go out tonight) on TNT Sports as well (I suppose an argument could be made for also giving the BBC the right to show it to a wider audience as they are also rights holders)

Good God. If that Onana clip was edited then what the hell was it really like? \O/
 
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?
They did one of these shows last season and announced at the start of the season that these would be done monthly throughout the season, so its got nothing to do with us supposedly benefitting
