If you believe that statement will do more harm then good, then clearly you think it's corrupt as it will influence decisions.
If it wasn't corrupt or bias the statement should have no impact?
Said it myself and regularly use villa as a example. Some teams yoyo before finding their feet, villa with greanlish, martinez in goal etc spent 2 seasons around the relegation zone.
I think it could have been done classier, it still needed to be said though. I would have preferred someone to go through clips for penalty that these 2 refs or VAR officials have been given and question how identical incidents the same person can deem one a penalty and not the other.
Atleast most acknowledge we should have won the match, how MGW didn't get that on target.
VAR is a failed experiment, if they can't get consistency after watching video replays, some draw offside lines from a outstretched arm, shoulder and others draw what can only be described as lines from...
Exactly you can accept a ref making a error in split second but you can't accept refs watching it in VAR room on a video replay and not giving it, or not being consistent on what is considered handball, a penalty offence etc.
So the ref didn't give the CHO pen because he thought young got the ball first but clearly he did not. At that point the game potentially 1 all, and we have all to play for
But apparently anything around the box and your arms need to be next to your body, sometimes they give them sometimes they don't. I can get no consistency when it's a ref making a split second decision on the pitch but how can you not have consistency when some mongo watching it on a video replay.
