If anybody can push a club into sueing or kicking off with PGMOL then it'll be Klipperty.

I must admit I thought he looked well onside live and on the freeze frame. I’d like to know what actually happened in the VAR? I mean what is the thought process of these people? In many cases you’d think a child could do better.

This is massive. The PGMOL are in deep **** here, and i am afraid they should be. Assuming it's not corruption, they are just not suitable to officate games any longer.

[Zippity]

Good. After that Isak goal was disallowed and they all nodded sagely as if justice had been done?

This one is hilarious.

F.uck them.

Also PGMOL is a monopoly, they are the only company who are able to Officiate matches. That's illegal, due to anti-competition laws.

I don't know how any relegated team who have had VAR / Bad ref decisions go against them haven't brought about a law suite for loss of earning from the premier league.

Also, changing the subject, when the hell is Everton's FFP case going to be concluded. They need to be docked points the cheats!

For some reason, I have in my head that it was supposed to be Novemeber it was concluded. . . but I have nothing to base that on, just a vauge memory of being told that was when.

you're probably right, just seems like ages. We'll find out if FFP has any teeth or if it's just a load of BS. IF they don't get point deduction just a fine then it's toothless & teams will factor in the cost of the fines when they go into the market.

It will become part of the business model. So they have to make an example of them if not it's game over for FFP.

The problem is that there is no real alternative.
European refs? Think that would be a non starter - they would be slaughtered by the knuckledragger fans that don't like foreigners as well as the knuckledragger pundits that would claim they didn't understand English football (despite the majority of players and managers being foreign)

They ref the Europe & UCL matches without being hammered by pundits or fans. I have to disagree that they would take any more abuse then the domestic clowns. Fans want to see good consistent refereeing, German, Polish, Spanish, I don't think fans would give a damn if the guy in the middle did he job properly.

Moreover, compared with most of Europe, like Italy where some fans throw banana at player still & some Athleti fans in Madrid hung a dummy dressed as Vinicius Jr from a bridge with some seriously racist sh!t written on a placard around it's neck, our knuckle draggers ain't that bad.

They ain't no saints, most of them could do with a dozen stiff boots to the balls for example but not as bad as some.

Yep, as to today's referee screw up, couldn't have happened to a more deserving bunch of sh1tes
