In my mind, it is not even a matter of the mistakes. What disgusts me is the belief that no error, not matter how atrocious, is likely to result in any meaningful negative repercussions for those involved. PGMOL is 100% about protecting mates and 0% about having understandable professional standards to be upheld. It is not that I feel the need to see referees sacked. But habitually apparently doing nothing about extremely bad calls has allowed the standards to drift downwards with no bottom in sight. What disgusts me is the belief that it is going to get worse before it gets better, and a whole lot of people who should know better and are in positions of power are going to pretend otherwise, including most pundits.

Someone estimated that Wolves had lost 10 points because of wrong VAR decisions. The have received apologies on some of the decisions but this does not give them their valid points.

I don't see how the public can verify these VAR calls because we have to use their evidence to define it. For example, In the Coventry-United game, when i saw Coventrys 4th goal live, i thought it was onside. When i saw a still shot of the incident, i still thought it was onside. Then the magic line gets drawn from VAR and its offside. Clearly, something like that can be adjusted & the adjustment only seen by VAR officials. Given who was involved, and the financial benefits of United qualifying, i just assumed corruption. When you get to a point where you just assume corruption, it means the public have lost trust in the sport.

Somethings not At all Well with the PGMOL

Ex footballers for VAR I think. The referees of today shouldn't have the final say in match incidents. Drop balls going to the wrong team. Players getting second yellows for fouls that never happened. Players getting second yellows for protesting fouls that did happen. Not being awarded penalties for fouls in the box. Ignoring players wrestling players to the ground on set pieces. The arrogant corruption is so sickening I think we should shield our children from them.

Spot on . The PGMOL are not addressing the main fault. Let's charge everybody with Bringing the game into disrepute when they should be charge of Bringing the game into DISREPAIR.

Farke at Leeds is on record as saying Leeds have received 8 apology letters from PGMOL this season for incorrect calls by referees. If those 8 incorrect calls cost Leeds 1pt each then that is the difference between already being promoted to £100+mill in the EPL and living in fear of being in the CS playoffs. The reality is the TV companies don't want a procession to the title but a close finish. Its good for the viewing figures. They have that this season in both the top two divisions. Coincidence? You also have to ask why PGMOL is independent of the FA/EPL and not a department of the FA. Could it be the FA knew what was coming and wanted deniability. Can't see any other reason for PGMOL being an independent org.

The EPL- A microcosm of institutionalised society at large.

Man City's Michael Oliver is refereeing the North London Derby this weekend, with Jarred Gillet (a Liverpool fan) on VAR. Make of that what you will...

Forest politely pointed out that a Luton fan was on VAR duty, and that a harsh bright light would be shone on his performance. Well, that VAR official failed spectacularly under that harsh bright light. The situation was easily avoided. Avoided by changing the assignment. Avoided by the VAR official bothering to be even a little bit competent on that day. I do not blame Forest a bit for running with the narrative handed to them on a silver platter. I do not like the words they chose, but the message is on the mark.

The corruption is flagrantly obvious. Team positions and outcomes of games are manipulated by their decisions. It is manifestly unfair and corrupt to impose points deductions mid season and particularly towards the end of the season. Especially so when there is no way of fairly assessing the number of points to be deducted. To then change that number after imposition is absurd beyond belief. These things should be obvious to anyone but are deliberately ignored. There are after all, other ways to sanction financial breaches that do not involve rigging team positions. All this with the backdrop of 115 breaches of financial regulations that involve deliberate concealment by Man City. We already know there is a strong correlation between money and trophies which in itself is a form of corruption and quite obviously unfair. That is one reason why Leicester winning the Premier league was so popular, because they did it without buying it. We all know that Arab money has far too mush influence upon football, indeed upon the nation and it is very probable that government secretly urges not to punish corruption involving Arab money for fear of reprisal. Arab nations have not shown themselves models of integrity. The inconsistency of decisions is flagrantly obvious but it is even worse because some decisions are actually made against the existing rules. The process of the decisions also often does not follow their own stated procedures. This would be easily actionable at law so why hasn’t it been? All that is needed is to prove on the balance of probabilities and the resulting damages would bankrupt these corrupt people and bring an end to their corruption. The only problem is it might also in the short term, bring an end to professional football. They would have us believe they make mistakes but when those mistakes are admitted there is no remedy applied which simply shows they are deliberate and can get away with them with impunity. The integrity of the game is lost and the results have now lost their meaning. There is so much wrong with the way football is managed by the authorities, space forbids detail but those authorities refuse change because they want it so, in order to be able to continue their corrupt manipulation. Although the technology of VAR is a great advantage, the way it is operated is to better enable interference in results. That is obvious.Simple changes to prevent that are absolutely resisted. Within games there is still great appreciation for the skills displayed and the high class performances by teams and individuals but the results have become meaningless. There is also much that is wrong in terms of professional fouls and dishonest play which also mars the game. Sadly money has ruined the game. That cries out to be addressed. There is far, far too much money in the game. In all walks of life much money is always attended with corruption. Is football really the one shining exception???!!! Limits on players wages, eligibility,money spent by clubs, transfers mid season except for loans,all these and more should be restricted. All teams should be put on a level competing basis so as to throw emphasis upon character,team spirit, ability,and sportsmanship which are the aspects that make football such a great game. And other ruining aspects such as political interference, social engineering/woke culture and other things have not even been mentioned. Money has ruined football.

Lost interest in football after the formation of the premier league.

The Everton Forest game gave Attwell 3 VAR decisions to make. The Rayna penalty call would have been given to any one of the big six clubs. The other two were clear penalty calls - Young's arm fully extended and stopping the ball falling to Wood stood just behind him with an easy tap-in, and then the dangerous slide tackle by Young to take out Hudson Odio. Referees get away with changing games by citing their 'error' as a mistake. How can anyone cite three mistakes out of three calls as an error. It's not! it's an obvious bias/corrupt decision, especially when the VAR ref has minutes to analyse slo-mo video footage from various angles, before making a decision.

I wouldn't go so far as to say they are biased. I would just say we don't have the best refs at the top. It's more ineptitude than anything else.

Such a debacle was accomplished by years of continuous professional neglect by everyone in the PGMOL. PGMOL is a bunch of mates protecting mates who love officiating on the pitch and despise VAR duties. Being genuinely competent at VAR risks annoying your mate on the pitch, and so they do not care to make a real effort. If the Tottenham-Liverpool debacle occurred during the teething pain period of 2019 or 2020, I might afford PGMOL a degree of leniency. VAR is and always was and will continue to be an accident waiting to happed due to the lack of professionalism of the PGMOL. They are really bad a VAR duties, and it is not going to improve. Listen to the audio. They are a bunch of panicky chickens with their heads cut off in the booth, when asked to perform the simplest and most common VAR check possible. It is not a mystery why the results of a review seem completely random when they have more than one thing to check. They suck at their jobs.

And laughably _(And rightly too!),_ the FA come down so hard on players betting on the game. I wonder when, or if, this will ever get brought before an MP's select commision for analysis?

What Forest have said is the equivalent of drop kicking useless refs and the whole clown show of the Premier League in the face and it's about time someone did it. Neville and his crony mates can pretend to be outraged as much as they like, but days after they banned FA cup replays and after the 5,000 dodgy VAR decision and teams getting away with FFP whilst other teams who file their accounts a bit late get punished, and Chelsea selling themselves hotels and unaccountable officials and whiny pundits and lines drawn on the pitch and the game stopping for ten minutes and then restarting with nobody any the wiser, each one of these death by a thousand cuts, someone has finally drop kicked the FA in its stupid face.

hmmm.... let me think... well... the median average salary for all workers in the UK is just under 30k per year. There are players earning over 12 years salary PER WEEK!!!! For kicking a leather football, and not particularly well either. IS THAT CORRUPT?!?!? hmmmm.... we must ponder....

The PGMOL wont last long in a South American League. That’s all I will say to stay civil but you get the drift. They wont be untouchable.

Referees need to know that there's a potential to be physically harmed or else they'll just keep making poor decisions with no consequences

It's sports entertainment, like the WWE

You can see the match rigging, a common ploy is when attacking they just get to the edge of the area they just pass sideways until they lose possession.

With the vast amounts of money in football, and human nature being what it is, any denial of corruption in the game is pure ignorance, and denial.

I don't know that English football is corrupt but the fact that everyone can be accused of cheating BUT referees is a bit odd if nothing else.

Serious questions need to be asked deffo something not right in todays football games

Thanks for that, agree with that 100%

Same in Scotland. Blatantly corrupt, but anyone who points out the obvious is a "conspiracy theorist".

The day Alan Shearer says anything in Forest's favour is the day Satan will be riding to work on a snowplough!

Business owners who run the clubs should sue the officials whoever. The Officials shouldn't been making mistakes with all the help they get now. its a business wrong decisions are not mistakes there costly mistakes

The Premier league starting going down hill when chelski and cheat code city cheated there way to the top with zero question

I would keep VAR for one reason. Before VAR everyone suspected football was rigged - now they kniow it is rigged.

I agree,i have thought for the past 5 seasons that football is corrupt,i believe the champions are decided before the season kicks off.I think it is all done to keep the league interesting otherwise Man City will run away with it every season.If it was like this people would switch off then advertising revenue would fall.we are all being blind sided by lies and deceit

Just go back to ref in on the pitch who you can forgive his mistakes, but VAR decisions are absolutely ridiculous with no consistent decisions every game yes every game. Absolutely sick off

There should be a board ofequiry into var & the standard of referring to see if there is any compromise or corruption

The inquiry would be run by PGMOL themselves, so good luck with that!

Always has been corrupt but nothing was done about it when the so -clubs with history or legacy clubs as they like to known were running football but when so-called small clubs started challenging them everything has to be investigated

When a decision is made for offside, do you trust the line they use across the pitch. In technology there must be a way to slightly alter the angle of the line by one or two degrees. We know how at the moment that checking of the post office is carried out, and technology has moved on a pace. A, I, can be used in many ways can it here. Just a thought ,crazy idea perhaps.

The camera is always set at an angle to the line making it hard to tell if the line is true or not.

Source of wealth of Forest Owner - being the largest importer of devils dandruff in Greece.

Perhaps Var would be better just being used for certain things like off side goals and sending off reviews....when its a variable decision like a foul or handball var is no better than the on field ref

Bin rigged for years. Bent refs & officials. A lot of smaller teams get screwed everyweek. How can var change rules half way threw a season. ?????????

Clattenburg has left Forest now he resigned as part of the punishment for saying that Luton fan ref stuff however its the PL policy that you carnt have a rival fan in charge of VAR. So he got and Forest got punisherd yet again for the mearly stating the truith. .I think ( opinion ) the PL wanted Clattenburg to leave Forest as he could of told them all there dirty little tricks.

Feels like can’t wait for a club to apply to join the tench league to get out as can’t take the favouritism any more

Always spot on 👊🏼

Yes. And where there's money. There's politics. And where there's politics, there's corruption.

It is corrupt, Mark halsey said this years ago,

Where there is cash to be made you will find crooks.

Referees in the Premier League are biased, you see it every week. I remember David Moyes sending the League evidence of 10 penalties that Everton should have been awarded, for the league to reply only 7 were proved….Seven! The Referees have too much impact on games. Don’t quote Colina, he as bad as all the rest. 🤡

The game is now controlled by someone drawing lines on a TV screen miles away from the action, this years FA cup final should have been an all Sky Blue affair but an all Manchester final was more appealing

Agree!

The refereeing is disastrous every weekend. It annoys me how the world of social media pundits just pick out one or two matches where they feel the pgmol have crossed a line. In reality they have bent the rules so far out of shape that referees can interpret any given action on the pitch any way they like. You see it when so many fouls are given then a ref lets one slide on the grounds it isn't a heavy enough contact and he is doing us a favour letting the game flow for once. The first penalty claim for Forrest is one that Everton and Watford had denied many times when they had Richarlison. He used to get a yellow card for diving for it too. Also one of the examples in the above footage a ball blasted at a player from less than a metre away and you want a penalty for that. For Forrest to say Attwell is against them because he is a Luton fan is mad. A Luton fan would surely look at the table and fixtures and see Everton have Liverpool Arsenal and a trip to Luton in the run-in. An Everton win wasn't any use to Luton. They know the blues must surely drop points in two of those matches unless that closet Evertonian Attwell can do something about it. If Everton had dropped points against Forrest then Luton would merely have had to defeat Everton at home to ensure they finish above them.

The whole world has V A R correct,but English football is bent as a nine Bob note

Amen

if it hits the hand in the box, penalty simple

Poor calls on the pitch ? Yes, corruption? No . This isn't the Greek league

no it's worse, with a clear bias to top 6 teams, I don't think Forest been given a pen all season. Football needs to follow Rugby with the ref's mike being available on on game audio.

Yes

Wow nice

Ah, yes, Colina. The bent ref who came out of retirement to fix the Champions league playoff to allow Liverpool in (who did not legally qualify according to the rules) ahead of Everton. What a pillar of integrity.

It was an exceptional as Pool won it in Istanbul 2005. And many European clubs wanted Pool in to defend their title in 2005-2006 season

Don’t tell me .. Forest lost .

I know its not your field but should make a video on how the fuck La Liga doesn't have a goal line technology

DERMOT GALLAGHER IS THE JOE BIDEN OF FOOTBALL...

LoL!!! The PL is just a plastic sports franchise league for plastic sports franchise clubs and plastic sports franchise fans. VAR is there to keep undesirables out of the franchise (when will Wolves and Forest take the hint?) and of course it dumped Coventry out of the Cup so the FA could have two plastic sports franchise clubs play a meaningless game in May for a bit of scrap metal-guaranteed to have the huge plastic overseas fans delighted. So pleased P(lastic) League clubs are raising their "Most affordable" season tickets to a grand.If any lingering real fans dont like it,well, bugger off then,your plastic club has a queue of plastic sports franchise fans to take your place (when will THEY take the hint they're not wanted) Wouldn't watch a tedious sports franchise game for any money. REAL football exists outside the plastic league and its plastic clubs. The REAL fight is to keep the FA's plastic football where it belongs-in their crappy PL and Europe.

More about the drop ball Mark, I think the screaming about the drop ball overshadowed proper incidents that have gone against them in other games. The drop ball was non entity in comparison and it was consistent with a similar incident earlier in the game.
