VAR thread 2022/23

Corruption in plain sight at our game yesterday when they decided to look at offside for Grealish in the build up to the goal. He was that far onside that they had to remove the lines pronto for fear of embarrassment.

It was bizarre. Contrast it to the rags second goal yesterday when there was a suspicion of offside in the build up and it was completely ignored. Corruption in plain sight again.

They should rebrand the premier league to something like WWE Premier league ..

I wonder how much if this is down to Webb's new rule (enforced half way through the season, mind you) that referee's decisions shouldn't be reviewed if at all possible (or some such). It seems that the VAR is now bending over backwards not to do anything, apart from giving mm off-sides. Maybe Webb wasn't the answer. Who would have thought it?

It has by someway got worse with Webb now in charge ..

But we have the fairest and most honest football competition in the world that is the premier league,there has been corruption in Italy ( numerous times ) Spain,Germany and France yet the by far the richest and most watched league in the world is untainted by corruption dead on,where there is money and vast sums of it there is corruption as sure as night follows day.The problem we have is too many are gaining from turning a blind eye to it all,and the whole from a young age being institutionalised towards are love of football it’s part of our lives now,so even though there is corruption we still will watch our team and the game itself ..

Corruption exists in every section of life in the UK. It varies from neptotism, fiddling expenses, all the way up the scale to major fraud and organised crime. It happens in the justice system, finance, politics, even the police. It also happens in the football industry at all levels. Personally I think incidents involving corrupt referees are isolated and not part of a great conspiracy but I am certain that they do happen on occasions. The problem is that so many people in this country seem to bury their heads in the sand about things so they never get tackled. The idea that someone like Mike Riley should end up as the leader of all referees is laughable. A bit like putting someone like Rick Parry in charge of the EFL.

I haven't actually seen the incidents. Was the non-penalty like the Mahrez one a few weeks ago where someone stood on his foot while running in the box? Or was this different?

VAR clearly bent forwards to award Brentford's second penalty yesterday and to disallow two Brighton goals. It bends forwards or backwards depending on the preferred result.

Two clear penalties not given to Brighton. One was a clear pull on a shirt and the other a stamp / trip on a foot.

I think it 100% is Webb. No one in their right mind could watch the replay of that non penalty and not overturn it unless they were under strict instructions not to go against the referees decision. That all comes from Webb.

Thanks. More force I guess. No apology for us then. Same fall though, I think. Wasn't the rationale for the Mahrez non-penalty that he exaggerated the fall? I would like to stand on the feet of these arseholes when they are running ,,,,
