Guest Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I hadn’t really gone with it before, but VAR in England is definitely being used as a tool by the refs to protect one another. Oliver was protected by Stockley Park tonight by agreeing with him that it was a penalty just as they would have agreed with him if he hadn’t given it. It’s not being used to come to the correct decision (Sky saying the refs are using the blue and claret of Villa’s shirt as the dividing line...if so, that’s outrageous). It’s being used to protect their fellow referees, and like it or not, that’s a corruption of the system.It is happy to correct the wrongs of assistants on offsides, but that penalty tonight coupled to the Gomez “no foul” (both involving Mike Oliver) are pretty clear indicators of a refereeing group looking after one another.English football not being the pinnacle of fair play and honesty. Who’d have thunk it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Tunbridge Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 f**k me, Villa are rank rotten. Think their manager won’t see out the season.The season is gone for them, if he’s replaced it will be to give Terry a chance a management in the championship. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emergency meeting scheduled so I think you are right and it’ll be suspended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pub car king Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 The league is going to be suspended but will they just write off the season and reset in the summer. Part of me is desperate to see liverpool fucked out of the title only for anyone to win it next season just for shits and giggles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the coronavirus is spreading Anglophobia! La Liga, Serie A and the Bundesliga are have similar television deals. Season tickets and match day income are major sources of finance too. The clubs will have business interruption insurance to cover revenue losses. Contractually, the television companies may be obliged to cough up (excuse the pun) the money anyway. They will have insurance cover too. The same applies to all countries. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
