Today’s Football 2019/20 Season

[Chris O'Connor]

I think they got a payout of £20m over the Carlos Tevez affair. Not a lot when compared to being relegated but worth a few quid to bring a legal case against them and quickly settle for a decent payout amount.

I'm 2006/7 the money involved between staying up and relegation was sizeable but it's all relative, the compensation reflected the amounts involved at the time - a compensatory payment obviously wouldn't be equal to the difference but would be set at a level that reflected to some extent the loss to Sheff United.

Today the money involved is gigantic and has grown enormously, £20 million reflected the situation in 2006/7, they could expect a figure to dwarf that today.

Bournemouth considering compensation claim over costly hawk eye error in favour of Villa (vs Sheff Utd) when all cameras had their view obscured and the goalmouth technology didn't work for the first time ever.

Not sure they've got much of a case tbh, as just something beyond normal chance considering the probability of it happening, and could easily just be compared to hundreds of errors with referree decisions and the interpretation of the VAR technology being error strewn. Just extremely unfortunate that only that point was the difference between going down and staying up.

Haha they haven't got a chance, they didn't even let sheff utd back when west ham bought two imports illegally. The premier league don't like to make big decisions like that

So would Bournemouth be level on points and goal difference without that point vs Shef U? Would it have gone on goals scored or something to see who would have stayed up?

You could say that for anything though couldn't you? Every team down there gets a dodgy call which costs them a point or more. You'll have villa poonting out an incorrect offside which cost them a point in some game and you'll go round in circles. VAR is an abomination, can't call out Hawkeye for its only bad decision in 3 years and ignore the negative impact of VAR.

Yes I said as much in my original post, I don't rate their chances too highly and they haven't yet decided on going ahead, probably seek legal advice and go from there.

Dont blame them, was a shocker that.

Can't see them getting compo though. That goal might not have decided the outcome.

A Real Madrid player has tested positive for Covid-19, when do they play City?

I don't think Bournemouth would try and do this but if they were to do so an arguement against them could be,
How about the decision in Bournemouths favour in the recent game against Spurs?
The people who decide on the VAR decisions admitted they should have gave Spurs a penalty when Kane was pushed in the back (he had a free header from 5 yards out,) and they then may not have got a point in the 0-0 draw.

I've not seen this reported but as I said, I don't think they would go down this road.

The other thing which a court cannot legislate on is this.

If a goal had been given, the pattern of play for the rest of that half would have been different, i.e. play would have continued/restarted from the halfway line, as opposed from the Villa 'keeper. The outcome COULD have been that Villa then score two...

The invariables are just too complicated for it to go through any legal challenge successfully, IMO.

Of course:

Tip of a very dirty and corrupt iceberg , the premier league would pay them what they want to make it go away , no way do they want big decisions scrutinised in courts.

LAFC, an MLS side, have two midfielders playing tonight that are better than Tom Davies who started 23 premier league games this season. That’s grim.

Who do you mean? Because I rate Atuesta highly but neither Latif Blessing (who I love as an MLS player) nor Kaye are PL level players.

 

[summerisle]

Train them early. lol

Atuesta and Kaye were the two I was referring to. Tom Davies Isn’t a PL level player either so that’s not a pre-req for my statement, though I really do think Kaye is quite good. Atuesta won’t be there after this year. I’m guessing Spain for him.
