PGMOL - A private company & a corrupt monopoly
Anderson's goal being disallowed by a VAR official & an on-field referee conspire to rule out a goal despite the rules being very clear.
SkySports and every outlet covered it - it was clear that the Officially intentionally made the wrong decision, contradicting the laws of the game.
There is two positions the officials can be in when considering this decision and all incorrect VAR / Referring decisions since the technology was brought in:
1 - Both officials are complicate in some larger fraud/conspiracy to control teams league positions and deep potential ties to gambling syndicates
2 - Both officials in each case are completely incompetent and have no place officiating matches at any level of the sport. Especially the top leagues when so much money is involved.
Either way it got me to thinking...

PGMOL is a private registered company, above is the Companies house registration page.
As they are a private registered company they are open to the same legislation as any other company in the UK.
Being 1 of the 'other 14' for so long we know how decisions go in favour of the 'fraud 6', from cards, additional time added (Liverpool at Anfield earlier this season / Fergi time forever) Mitro's red, Fernandes & DeGea not getting a card, Martinez kicking the guy in the face a few weeks before the cup final but not getting even a card on the pitch or VAR review, so on and so on.
PGMOL being a company which is liable for mistakes made in the duty of their work. Their work being to officiate matches to the letter of the laws of the game.
It's clear they don't do this and many have said that their decisions are intentional.
My thoughts are this...
Every single club has a 'Supporters Trust' or something similar - we should all engage Nick De Marco and other lawyers to sue the PGMOL for their breaches for the laws of the game.
How can a private company which is also a monopoly be in control of the nation's most important sport? Chapter II of the Competition Act prohibits the abuse of a dominant position by one or more undertakings having a dominant position in a particular market , insofar as it may affect trade within the UK (or any part of it).
A sport on which Billions of GBP in gambling bets are placed every week? It's shocking how easy it would be to manipulate the league via the PGMOL. We all know it happened in Italy, so why is it so far fetched that it's happening in the UK?
Potentially the PGMOL could be liable for 10s of millions of GBP in loss of earnings.
However I'd like to see legal action brought against them win or lose just to cause some serious changes to be affected within the officiating body.
We should have complete transparency on all decisions. This corruption has gone on for decades and it has to stop.
