That’s true . Cloughy was right all alongalso ? football is now a tv sport that sells world wide and they love the drama of VAR
Dermot explains WBA penalty not being given -
"But even if he does get a stud on the ball, it doesn't preclude giving a penalty if he thinks it is a foul. The fact you get a touch on the ball doesn't negate further action. For me, I think he does get a touch on the ball and there is contact, but because there is contact doesn't necessarily mean it is a foul. I don't think there is enough contact to give a penalty."
Ok, so I agree with the reasoning, if you get a touch on the ball but follow through and get the player, if the follow through is sufficient, a penalty will be given.
Dermot explains why Villa don't get a penalty -
"I think this was definitely not a penalty. The angle the ball goes tells me that March has got a big touch on the ball. Then they've come together. March has clearly played that ball first - there's no doubt in my mind."
Errrrrr, what?
Tied himself up in knots in the same article, clown.
clowns running VAR ? clowns refereeing games ? clowns at head of the premier league ?
clown referees in the studios talking shit to ex-players/pundits and presenters
the game is fucked and there is no way back. VAR is here to stay like it or not
and believe me its going to get even worst when VAR will start to change results long after the game is finished
its going to need a club with big money that's is robbed of silverware or a top 4 place in taking the premier league to court over VAR. even then i would not fancy their chances with VAR being cut from football
All of the aboveclowns running VAR ? clowns refereeing games ? clowns at head of the premier league ?

It seems to have got worse without the fans being there.Once upon a time the criteria for awarding a direct free kick was along the lines "Was he tripped, pushed, held, kicked, etc". Now it seems the preliminary to establishing any criteria is whether the player went down and/or screamed. Players have realised that a piercing scream as you go down pulls at the ref's whistle strings and yer've got more of a chance of a free kick than just getting ankle tapped but stay on yer feet. And the refs fall for it every fuckin' time, or, they collude. Dean's reffing of the Fulham v EFC game matched the shite he delivered at the last game he reffed us - get to the second half and yer fuckin' lucky if your side gets a free kick, unless it's delivered by the boot of one of the opposition. I would love refs to come on at FT and explain upto, say, five decisions that fans have texted in but, alas, there is no bigger set of arrogant whistlers in professional sport. It would deteriorate into another version of BBC Points of View - our pov is the correct one!
Gallagher is just one in a long line of Sky/PL influencers who feed fans what they want to portray rather than the truth. How many times do we now see an incident but never re-shown, the pundits just brushing it away with a cursory comment.Dermot explains WBA penalty not being given -

Some refs from decades back always thought they were Punch and the rest of us were Judies.It seems to have got worse without the fans being there.
The refs act like the main attraction these days
