Match Fixing

[BlueStevie35]

The presenter is an Evertonian

He’s not, Dave Jones is both a Sunderland fan and a non executive director at the club. You’re thinking of Jules Warren who does Soccer Saturday occasionally

Take it you didn’t see Frank call it out after the game then?

Yes I did.


Can’t be left there though.

I was fuming that much that I actually emailed the premier league right after the game and directly asked them to reply to me with the explanation as to how the decision was reached lol

No reply yet

I just saw Micah Richards' portion on Sky (on Youtube) and he was talking about Everton and the presenter wanted to shift it to Liverpool lol

Yeah the way his voice rises in pitch when he says Liverpool
He gets excited because they are 'Box Office'
ie Everton are not one of the A list celebrities, their an extra, a filler, they don't really matter in the scheme of things.

It's big team bias, not corruption. Kavanagh is also a truly dreadful referee.

that's not bias that's just plain cheating, any person in the world watching that says it's handball, he doesnt, he doesnt even ask the ref for his opinion.

he should never work in football again. VAR was brought in exactly for these type of circumstances, were fighting for our lives at the bottom and he's making decisions like that.

scumbag

Transparency is key if VAR is ever to work properly. We need to hear the discussions between VAR and on field referee. We need the referee to be watching the screen while they talk. We need the replays to be shown in the stadium. Other sports do all those things. We need to see that in football, otherwise I will continue to believe they aren't serious about making VAR work and it's all about enhancing the big team bias in premier league football.

Just like they do and have done for years in Rugby League. Again conspiracy but I feel there is a reason why these conversations on field in football are hidden.

Oh yes, my mistake thought it was Jules.

They simply want an exciting run in between admittedly the two best teams, like a couple of years ago, makes great tv, for them. Like I said earlier God help any team that thinks they are going to get a fair deal against City and Liverpool, by hook or Crook, this is going to the wire again and it's just tough titty on the likes of Everton and Co, if they think they can stand in the way.

I wonder will the Football League fine Frank fit his comments in his post match interviews. Now that is a dilemma, if they don't it looks like they agree with him and accept what he said was true, if they do fine him they will be seen to be trying to defend the indefensible. I would love to be at the meeting were they decide what they are going to do.

 

[mezzrow]

Ignore the shape of the football. You know how this game works. You know how this game ends. Yet you come back. Again and again.

It won't stop until we walk away. Wise up. Break your addiction. Live as free men and women.

Almost all professional sports are now fixed at some level

There’s too much money involved for it not to be.

The NFL is the prime example, it’s obviously happening here as well

Just heard from a RS that Kavanagh and all his family are staunch City fans. If so, how is he allowed to be involved in a city game. Only a rumour, so don't shoot the messenger.

Mate, read that back to yourself.

What I find strange is why refs from the Greater Manchester area get given games that involve teams from Manchester, Mike Dean should not be doing any games involving Merseyside teams as well.

They could be family/friend influence and unwanted pressure going into those games that skews their performances and thinking seeing things clearly without bias.

Tierney and Kavanagh seems to be a defacto combination Mike Riley goes with, remember the penalty City got when the ball hit the side of the Wolves player, Kavanagh never saw it, Tierney deemed it a penalty on VAR even though it never touched any part of the arm on every angle.

Spurs game recently that Tierney reffed and Kavanagh did VAR, game of bizarre decisions, Kane with a challenge high with studs no where near the ball, VAR cleared it, player clearly taken down in the eyeline of Tierney yards away, goes to VAR, Kavanagh says no, doesn't even recommend Tierney to watch that penalty incident or the Kane studs high, just like the Penalty last night,that was a game that impacted City without playing, Two point swing for them.

Kavanagh did VAR In the Newcastle City game Ederson wiped out a Player, stonewall penalty and Kavanagh deems it a non penalty and goal kick,city win the game 1-0.

Kavanagh ( Ashton Under Lyme) Tierney (Wigan) are both from Greater Manchester and are always involved together coincidentally in games that impact City in any way.

Some Tweets last night when the penalty incident was trending that Kavanagh's younger brother in Stalybridge is a season ticket holder at City, if it's true then he shouldn't be doing City games.
