Snatchday 1: Nottingham Forest Vs the PGMOL

Bought that book when it first came out and loved it from the first, bought it from the travelling library at our camp in Germany. "Catch-22" if anybody fancies a read and missed it first time round.
I got it for Christmas and literally couldn't get through it all. I'll try and go back to it but it just wasn't for me, was really disappointed.

Perhaps the PL/FA could have worded their messages differently -
"20 million pounds over the threshold, which we cannot accept.
We warned Forest that the threshold was lower but they did nothing.
The Premier League will now consider its options "

Amongst the things Forest didn't say in that post match tweet was ANYTHING about incompetence or corruption.

What forest DID say was that they had suggested to the PGMOL that a different VAR operator would remove them (the PGMOL) from a position of having difficult and awkward questions to answer if a refereeing shit show happened.

A refereeing shit show happened and the PGMOL now have difficult and awkward questions to answer.

The issue is of PGMOL's making, not Forest's.
Forest said they warned the pgmol that atwell was a Luton fan. Unless you are on about bias or corruption why even mention the Luton fan bit? It’s a statement to me that quite clearly instead of competence which is the only route we should have gone down but instead bias and corruption. Without any shred of evidence. It was a very naughty statement. As I said I was on board with the requesting of audio and if we said we were concerned about the standard the reffing than fair enough. For me the content of our statement was a bit shameful.

I think the owners of this club have let their manager take the fall for them because they are cowards.
That was the method that Neville said that clubs should use if they disagree with the refereeing.

He said something like, "Forest have gone about it the wrong way. If they think there were issues, the manager should say it in the post match interview and take the fine for it like Fergie used to back in my day."

Obviously he doesn't follow Forest's games because Nunu and Steve before him did this numerous times this season with it making the square root of FA difference other than adding to the PL coffers in fines.

An apology really isn't worth anything as it doesn't change anything. The biggest slap in the face was probably Boly's sending off for being fouled when although the authorities agreed that the ref got it wrong he still had to serve a ban!

Same. Shilton too.

You have to remember them as players. As personalities and actions go I've no respect.
Did a bit of taxi driving in Nottingham years ago which involved transporting Shilton from one gambling club to another and then on to Madison,s nightclub. He was a wanker all those years back.

Wasn't he borrowing money off other teammates to feed his gambling habit?

Loved him as a player but these days he’s just a pound shop Le Tissier.

I hope their owners are taking a tough line on this... "Gary you there?!"
You seriously have to question the owners of the club with their manager bringing the game into such disrepute all of the time.

Imagine allowing this to happen when you are such paragons of virtue. Imagine also seeing it happen already and doing absolutely nothing about it to such effect that your employee offended again in the same way but worse.

The owners seemingly effectively condone the severe abuse of officials by their employees.

He blocked me on Twitter after I said I didn't think he got enough credit for being confident enough to try to drive a Jag with his trousers round his ankles and someone else's wife in his lap 🤣

Ah, I remember the famous chant levelled at him, from the Trent End:

„Peter, Shilton,
Peter Shilton!
Does your wife know that you‘re here?
Does your wife know that you‘re here!“

There was no accusation towards Atwell in the tweet, it was merely a statement of facts. Any inference of corruption could only be attributed by the person reading it.

Despite claims that referees are professional & their integrity wouldn't allow them to be biased the PGMOL would not allow a Forest fan to referee a forest game, so are they inferring that their own referees are corrupt?

Just as a side note I do wonder how Stuart Attwell is feeling about all his colleagues & sycophants coming out in his defence by saying that he's not corrupt, he's just incompetent. I think I'd rather be thought of as corrupt :ROFLMAO:

No there isnt a direct accusation but saying someone is a Luton fan is making out that there is a problem with that. Of course you cant have fans of teams actually reffing teams they support. However in the VAR booth its rather different. Take cricket or rugby in internationals you will get Englishman in the VAR positions on England games. I think it was so obvious what Forest were doing and I am with you id rather be called corrupt than shit 😂😂😂

It’s stating it was ill advised but they were ok with it.
