in that case I will take the walk of shame and bow down from this thread
I tried to make some reasonable cases and honest opinion why I prefer VAR (which isn't perfect) over officials making blind decisions but it seems either way, the game is corrupt and all the powers are against City only.
Who said the powers that be are against City only ?
You just don't get it do you..!
VAR is very much for the product that is the Premier League..
Is it good for the product if one team wins the PL every year ?
Not according to Scudamore who brazenly announced that it would be good for the product to have new PL winners on a regular basis..
The same guy announced when Moyes was managing the rags that a poor Manchester United is harming the worldwide brand of the PL..
Why would he say that ?
I'll tell you why because the PL generates untold £billions and that's what is at the crux of where we find ourselves now with VAR..
Pushing the rags into a CL spot by awarding an abnormal amount of penalties keeps the brand name strong.
Assisting the dippers to win their first title in a generation keeps the brand name strong..
It's not about corruption against City, it's about having a tool in place to enable results to be manipulated to ensure teams slot into preferred positions in the table..
It's been said a million times..
Mic the refs and officials up..
Show replays in the stadiums of VAR incidents and explain the decisions over the tannoy system..
Make the rags and dippers install big screens..
Any promoted teams to install big screens in their stadiums if they don't already have them..
Interview referees after games and get them to talk through the controversial match incidents..
Have cameras installed at Stockley Park so fans can buy into the decision making..
VAR is like a secret society, currently unanswerable to anyone.
What it decides goes, no recourse or challenge.
Consistency is out of the window, similar incidents are regularly dealt with completely differently..
Pep said, "we get no help off anyone, what we've won we've achieved it all ourselves"
Why's he said that ?
His is a bit bitter ?
Can he not see we're refereed exactly the same as everyone else ?
Why's he whinging after everything he's won with City ?
Maybe the comments made by Scudamore above are coming into play..
Subtle decisions going against City keeps them in check, keeps them in the pack within touching distance of the usual suspects..
You could easily come to the conclusion that Laporte's sending off when Evans at Leicester was only booked for an identical incident on the same day and Milner's non red card has cost us 5 points..
Those points put us clear at the top..
We've already completely outplayed Chelsea, Liverpool and United away..
You could also quite easily conclude that City being clear at the top after 11 games would be disastrous for the product
Therefore, taking the above into consideration, one could quite easily conclude that VAR is working just fine and is doing exactly the job it was brought I to do..
Not good if we win everything whilst the cash cow clubs are floundering..
VAR is s godsend for the PL Brand..
Until VAR is opened up and becomes completely transparent ala Cricket, Rugby, Tennis, American Football, Baseball and Basketball to name but a few high profile sports, it will always be suspect to cheating..
It's been in place for s few seasons now, SKY and BT can hear the discussions between Stockley Park and the match referee but the match going and armchair fans cannot..
What's to hide ?
It's dodgy as fcuk and will continue to be so until it comes clean..!
