Found elsewhere as proof of corruption

Fab has been well below his best this season. I think with two good midfielders in there with him, like Caicedo and Bellingham, he would offer more. He is also a bit younger than Thiago, and slightly less injury prone. So for me, if the midfield cuts go deeper than contract expirations, I would go with Thiago as next in line for the exit.
Mind you, Thiago is brilliant on the ball, and thereâs a lot to like there, so itâs not a hill I would die on.
The main thing is two good additions are needed to that midfield, to be mainstays, for the most part, and then they can help the old guard to give the best of what they have left, while also giving a platform for the younger midfielders when they play.

it shows the Wolves player was onside even though the commentary stated there was no camera that covered the player and they had to rely on the assistant ref to flag it(which is his fucking job)
Itâs a conspiracy to stop Wolves winning the FA Cup,but donât tell anyone

Why didnât ITV bother showing the offside when VAR was reviewing it? As it stands we still donât 100% know whether it was given on Nunes or on the goalscorerâŚall we have is a few peoples word for it. I guess it had to have been on Nunes because the goalscorer is clearly on when he flicks it in from the shot.
The way itâs shown in European competitions on BT is by the best Iâve seenâŚclear as day and no room for debate.
BtwâŚouch.

Mascot stop playing double standards goodness sakes, if it was the other way round and Ibou headed it youâd be 100% saying Jimenez shouldvâe been off howâs it not offside. We both know this.

Craig Stephen Noone is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for A-League club Macarthur FC. He has also played professional football for Plymouth Argyle, Exeter City, Brighton & Hove Albion, Cardiff City, Bolton Wanderers and Melbourne City.
My only goal this season, to be honest, is to finish top 4, if only because of the incoming revenue and its ability to help us rebuild the midfield.
Bowing out in the FA Cup would only help us in that regard.

No reasonable person would claim we get no decisions. Taking a game in isolation is proof of nothing. Mo could get 10 freekicks in one game, but that doesnât mean over the last 6 years he has been treated fair. Youâve got to look at it over a longer period.
All it takes is an ever so slight unconscious bias towards the opposition that over a course of a season it will make a big difference (see the times we lost the league narrowly to $hitty).
Iâm not saying there is any conspiracy etc. Just that looking at the black and white stats over a long period of time, there is a slight tilt in one direction.
Just like in a casino where the house edge tilts the favour over the long run. Tomkinsâ analysis shows discrepancies that cannot just be brushed away when we get the decisions from a ref/VAR.

The more I watch us play and the weeks go by, I think my only goal for us would be to finish above Everton.

The FA dont share the images they are using with broadcasters the same way the PL does. The broadcasters are then left to guess at what is being reviewed and use the best camera angle they have to show it (which are different cameras than are used for VAR)

Helpful.
In that case wouldnât the smart thing to do is remove VAR from all EFL/FA cup games?
But surely it canât be true for the PLâŚotherwise how do Sky show the actual feed from the VAR?
As I said, PL share their actual feed with the broadcasters including the final digitized product. The FA doesnt.
Ah sorry misread that first lineâŚbit late in the night and Iâve not had my vitamin tablets.
I suppose the only question left to ask is âŚwhy?
Because theyâre twats I think is the most reasonable answer.
I really hope that Webb focuses on improving the transparency of the process as he says he wants to because even with the PL doing it better than the FA it is still shit.

All VAR is going to keep doing is make people lose their sanity and question their own principals of the game.
Seems like all the bodies have their own way to use VAR except for the EFL who donât use it at all. (probably financial reasons more than anything else)
The way I see it, itâs been trialed and tested for almost 5 years now. It hasnât done much by way of improving the gameâŚso scrap the fucking thing.
