Re: Premier league

Constant cheating
Institutional bias

Badge kissing players who walk when relegated
Sky bulls**t
Losing most games
Not cheering when we’ve scored (var)

When the only benefit is money, which all goes to the players, agents & owners there seems little point in it.

As an ex-metrologist, I am fully aware of ‘uncertainty of measurement’ and how it limits accuracy. VAR regularly gives offside decisions that would never stand up to scrutiny. So, the only part of it that can be objective is flawed from the outset, the rest is just subjective.
