Sick to death of VAR. Absolute sh1t show. Pathetic.

IT'S NOT VAR
OTHER SPORTS MANAGE FINE WITH VAR
THE SAME THING HAPPENED AT BOTH ENDS
VAR ISN'T A MAGIC COMPUTER
IT'S PEOPLE
IT'S REFEREES
THE SAME MEN ON THE VAR DESK ALSO REFEREE MATCHES
IT'S CORRUPT REFEREES NOT TECHNOLOGY

That’s harsh but expected at this level. Theirs was more of a handball than ours.

Dont mind that being handball if the forest one is too. But that is absolute ******** given the decision made for their goal.

Beagleheart · Post by **Beagleheart** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 9:23 pm

I have never commented on a match thread before. That decision is absolutely disgusting. Awful. Beyond terrible.

**** me some Burnley fans are delusional. There’s no conspiracy here. We are playing Notts forest not Man City!

And most importantly it was handball. I’d be raging if that was given against us

"tedious conspiracy theories"
Serie A had matchfixing in the 00s.
The amount of money at stake in the Premier League, for major organisations tied up in the clubs and for the broadcasters, especially with having fashionable big brand moneymaking clubs do well and keep the money flowing, is so much, that corruption ought to be expected.
Finances and greed trigger corruption in every single walk of life. Football is not immune to this.
People need to stop pretending that it doesn't benefit Sky, the FA, the EPL, and the big boys at the top, to ensure the big boys always stay at the top and that as many of the 20 teams in the Premier League as possible are big brand city clubs.

Prem fix

daveisaclaret · Post by **daveisaclaret** » Mon Sep 18, 2023 9:27 pm

It's not a fix, it's just a couple of bad refs making an awful decision.

Prior to the implementation of VAR, analyses showed that implementing VAR would see Burnley be one of the clubs that benefitted most from corrected decisions.
That's not panned out.
That should tell you the problem is the referees making the calls, not VAR.

I'm no sure about bias, but the whole VAR and the rules need a long looking at.
As I see it, the problem with VAR is that if you give someone a job they are almost bound to want to justify/ do it.

Lol at people saying that was handball
