If he wants to screw over the people that screwed us over with Brexit he should be focussing on English own goals.

No - that was David Cameron and the 52% but don't get me started.

I did notice that the audio of an incident in El Clasico from Sunday night has been released, where VAR couldn't give a goal due to the lack of goal line technology.
Has anyone released ours yet?

It's interesting how Nuno puts his thoughts across here. He says that referees aren't taking the decisions on the pitch and waiting for VAR to make the decision and then says "that isn't helping" followed up by "and I won't go further than that".
He clearly thinks there's more to this and I remember at the time thinking that Cooper seemed to too without actually saying it.

That's exactly what I've been saying.
VAR gives refs permission to be cowardly and shirk responsibility for making decisions.
Then if you add to that what Mike Dean said about VAR not wanting to embarrass their ref mates you have a recipe for utter failure.
Its so stupid.

Nuno struggled to hide his contempt for the dumb questions from the YTS lad with the squeaky voice at the end

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

The weather is great if you're an albino vampire
I drive past Bick's Chicks regularly, never tried their snack van but I hear good things about it, I'll have to try it some time, when I'm not on a diet (so probably never....middle age spread has hit with a vengeance
)All that I can see is the PGMOL & their cronies muddying the waters & trying to deflect the issue back at Forest with their gaslighting. It stinks of a guilty conscience.
I'm immensely proud of my club having the balls to do this regardless of the outcome.

Exactly. It's easy to give a decision in favour of Man Utd, Liverpool, Man City etc... Then you're not the bad guy if VAR overrules it (which they rarely will). But then they don't give decision for Forest, Wolves etc... and VAR shrugs its shoulders and goes "not clear and obvious", but had they given it they wouldn't overturn either. Refs think they have this safety net for mistakes, but really it just enables their cowardice.

The game after that incident was against Arsenal and the whole North Bank sang, as he came out, "Who were you with last night, under..."etc.

Didn’t the interview with the former head of refs say that they used to check the allegiances and avoid obvious match ups especially around the relegation and top of the table clashes but that has been disregarded by the current head of the refs?No there isnt a direct accusation but saying someone is a Luton fan is making out that there is a problem with that.

so surely us pointing out something to them that they used to do isn’t actually that bad, just highlighting they need to be better.

Sat and watched it in a student pub in Leicester once. There were people there from loads of different countries, it was a great night. Wogan, with his dry wit made it.The best bit about that was watching how all the countries voted because of political and conflict allegiances/differences

Yeah his sarcasm at the voting was hilarious. He'd call exactly who they were gonna give nil and 10 points to every time.

Its so obvious the PL don't want Everton relegated that they gave them two separate points deductions...

Why is inappropriate? You have implied bias by saying its inappropriate.

It’s inappropriate because he supports a team that is directly affected by the result of this match. It would be appropriate if he were not in charge of any decisions that could effect the outcome of the match so as to avoid any question on his integrity should he get something massively wrong.
im not sure how this is hard to see? Or am I missing something?
if he gets all the decisions correct to the laws of the game then it ends there, if he doesn’t then it is all left open to accusations.

If it's in PGMOL's own rules (declaration of allegiance, not being involved in matches that impact on that allegiance), surely we were simply pointing out to them that their rules weren't being complied with?No there isnt a direct accusation but saying someone is a Luton fan is making out that there is a problem with that.
