Wolves were bucked over

GTIF

Roofer
Stonewall penalty denied
Officials stood down for next weekend, should be longer
If a referee or VAR cannot identify that as a penalty then they are not up to that level
Even Mr G said penalty
 
What? said:
Gerry with the greatest respect, they're hardly likely to tell you they're taking bungs are they

True but think of it this way.
One the teams outside the big 6 would find out what is being paid in bungs and beat that amount for away and home games v the big 6
Two A disgruntled honest ref would spill the beans on retirement
Three All the big football journalists would have inside sources in the PGMO and for the right amount of cash one of them would talk, that does not imply a ref would take a bung to influence a result
As an ex NOTW hack somebody would have spilled to the papers by now
 
I know that most of the refereeing isn't bent, but you look at last night, then the decision not to send Sabitzer off last season against us and the venue of last nights game, it doesn't take much of leap to think there are elements that are corrupt.

One hundered percent, if that had been Sa on Rashford, Fernandez would have been doing that poncy penalty routine.

They said that about the so-called moon landings

To make it worse, PGMO have apologised for a nailed on penalty not being given. The whole system is a farce and it is the main benefit of relegation that we are free of it for at least one season. The irony is that we’re trying our best to get back into it
 
Why can’t these VAR officials just be incompetent? We’ve all seen shit referees over the decades and dumping them in front of a TV to make decisions isn’t suddenly going to make them any better.

thought Wolves looked very good

The premise of VAR reviews is wrong. It’s all about whether the ref’s decision should or shouldn’t be overturned. Too much ego involved.
In cricket it’s about ‘what is the correct decision’. No ‘clear and obvious error’ bollocks

I agree with you to a certain extent. However, in cricket there is still the 'umpire's call' margin for error. If a batsman asks for a review after being given out by the umpire, and ball tracking shows the ball just clipping the stumps, the decision stands. If the umpire had given it 'not out' and the bowling side had reviewed the decision, the umpire's original 'not out' call would be upheld (despite the fact that ball tracking had the ball just clipping the stumps). So it's not entirely objective...but it is better.

That VAR decision last night was just scandalous...the replays showed that the referee had indeed made a clear and obvious error.

I think the VAR decision that perfectly reflects your critique was that awful decision to award a penalty to Luton for a handball against Brighton's Lewis Dunk.

According to Dermot Gallagher, "WRONG DECISION! Better not to give it. When referee David Coote looks at this again he will think: 'Maybe I whistled too early and didn't give myself a lot of thinking time'. It's struck the arm but he's gone to block the ball. Is the VAR going to step in? The difficulty is it has hit his arm, the ref has given it on the field and I think that blocks off the VAR to a certain extent."

The way that VAR is used in the premier league is indeed bollocks.

That makes it absolute bullshit. I don’t care much for Wolves but for fuck’s sake if an on pitch ref and a video ref can’t get a decision like that correct, there’s no hope at all. It’s not like it was the first time VAR has been used.

"umpires call" which basically means if the decision is borderline, the ump gets the nod whether he's right or wrong.
