Mic'd up match officials on sky

[the golden visionary]

Anyone else watching this, it's really interesting to hear them discuss the incidents. Makes sense why it takes so long.

Also shows how bad the players and managers are

It was also nice to hear the ref tell Saint virg to get off

All should be broadcast over stadium tannoy. Would obliterate the very compelling theory that results are scripted. I dare them.

The most interesting one to me was the man city goal, the keeper had a clear view of the ball regardless of the man city players position and did a full dive, just didn't reach it.

They called it spot on

Mic'd up or not (I think they shouldn't as it's already a hornets nest)

Case in point...the above. Farce.

Scripted to what degree? Was our 2-2 with Sheff Utd pre-ordained and similar with Arsenal's 2 late goals on Sunday?

Seems like it would require a hell of a lot of co-operation from a lot of individuals.

After the Gylfi lifting his feet up and away only to be called offside debacle a couple of years ago I just want them to be consistent

They can't determine a result, but a ref and their distant controllers can look for every opportunity to favour the outcome for a given team. Maybe sometimes for a Sky brand to succeed, maybe sometimes to save money for Skybet after the maths have been done.

Please don't bring this in.
What's next? A camera attached to Pickford's head?

Which is the principal goal of the programme.
Will it improve decision making? No.
Wil it garner sympathy for incompetence? Yes.
The Education Minister could learn a lot from this approach.

That Man U keeper conversation between VAR and the red - Jesus tonight, it’s a shambles.

So many decisions are just wrong.

They couldn’t find their arse with both hands.

It’s corrupt and designed to sort out betting/rig matches to suit - it’s not being used correctly or as designed and needs to be binned.

 

[Azza]

It all just sounds like absolute chaos.

They're in such a rush to make a decision they end up just shouting and throwing information all over the place which means decisions take ages to be sorted and end up being wrong.

If they just stayed calm and took their time they end up getting to the right decision and probably taking not much longer than they do at the moment.

The City goal is just farcical.

Oh dear chris, have you swapped your festival fez for a tinfoil version?

Oh come on ... we can talk about referees being blind and iccasionally making mistakes but you can't put these ludicrous VAR decisions down to errors. It's not possible to make an error when you have slow mo and multiple angle replays. So if it's not error then what other possible motivation is there. Could it be money? I don't know, but I could guess.

Not like when they robbed us against Man U for same thing
