Sheff Utd don't beat Chelsea Wolves don't beat Everton We beat Bournemouth And the CAS uphold the Man city appeal and our superior GD all but guarantees us 5th minimum. I'll still be cheering on the Blades against Chelsea but the above four events are all more likely to happen than not IMO. Good point, but while as individual events they are more likely to happen than not, for all four to go our way would be pretty miraculous. Wonder what the accumulator odds would be?

Popular Post The Bear Posted 9 July 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 9 July 2020 (edited) The worst thing is about VAR decisions is that they have zero excuse for getting them wrong, whatsoever. Slow motion, multiple replays, etc. And they STILL get stuff wrong. Hopefully next season will be better as FIFA have told Mike Riley to get stuffed and they will now oversee the VAR implementation in all leagues, including less microscopic offside calls and refs using monitors more. Let's just hope that is a turning point for it. Edited 9 July 2020 by The Bear 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we needed to be was somewhat fairly consistent to keep a gap. Is it too over the top to suggest anything post Christmas has been completely unacceptable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you'd have to wonder if they were all in on it, why are they still so bad at it? This is it, it’d be more inept than the actual terrible officiating . 4 wins this calendar year and people are trying to create some sort of conspiracy theory as to why we won’t get top four.

Guest bennytwohats Posted 9 July 2020 Share Posted 9 July 2020 It’s not like United have been sneaking wins with these dodgy decisions. They’re brushing teams aside at will. Honestly think these big conspiracy theories make some of you sound a bit silly/bitter. They've been a different team since the break sadly.

Corky Posted 9 July 2020 Share Posted 9 July 2020 The issue with VAR is that I'm not sure referees want to keep overturning decisions. They all know each other and if one gets a reputation for having several decisions changed then that becomes a story, it gets into the mind and I'm sure most of the refs are friends- is it time to have independent, outside workers doing the video side of things? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manini Posted 9 July 2020 Share Posted 9 July 2020 The table from NYD is pretty unforgivable really. We have played some really crap football in 2020 haven’t we. I know it’s going to be our 2nd best season ever probably but without CL football it will all feel so flat which tells it’s own story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue ROI Posted 9 July 2020 Share Posted 9 July 2020 (edited) The penalty. WTF? Nketieh got sent off rightfully for a challenge like Fernandes. And no surprise Jon Moss is involved once again. Thankfully I decided not to watch it live. Edited 9 July 2020 by Blue ROI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pliskin Posted 9 July 2020 Share Posted 9 July 2020 I really, really, really, really so desperately want us to finish third. I’m holding out for Southampton and Sheffield United to do us big favours. I’ve got a feeling this weekend will be pivotal. I fancy Sheffers to get something against Chelsea, and United to slip up against Southampton. Then fingers crossed we can somehow get to the last two games 7 clear of 5th...... I’ll wake up one day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Embarrassing. I’m not sure there is corruption going on at the level people are saying, but as the Italian match fixing scandal a while ago proved, no team big or small are above it. It’s entirely plausible that something of that nature could be happening in any league, just not at the level that was proven in Italy. It’s such a shame that we didn’t win enough games to be thinking about it in this way though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FIFA’s decision not to take any of our official teams to the WC tells you everything you need to know about what they think of our refs. Yet they get the easiest ride imaginable here. They’re only ****ing themselves, patting each other on the back and refusing to criticise each other after they all make consistent howlers every week. It’s a ****ing shambles and I have absolutely zero respect or sympathy for the *****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't we have zero refs at the last international tournament? FIFA had clear guidelines on how they wanted VAR to be used, and Riley just chucked that in the bin and did what he wanted. That's one of the reasons FIFA have stepped in. Likely other countries as well not using it as they wanted.

Any efficient fixing of this league would of seen us get zero points Tuesday night and would not feel the need to award a 20 something minute penalty for a Manchester United team that’s on fire against a Villa side that can’t buy a win. It is ludicrous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
