I've just realised that this thread is missing one of Eddie Yates' concise, straight-to-the-point comments and, equally, one of Rockabilly's always-befitting visual contributions.

Eddie,s disappeared. Maybe he's constructing a deep lift shaft for someone.

Again, you cannot fully separate the mediocrity of a lot of the football this season from the cumulative impact of all these refereeing clusterfucks. The mood and confidence of players and fans alike improves with literally every point on the board.

But I agree it’s the most fun I’ve had all season, save maybe Newcastle (A) and Fulham (H).

I'd give him freedom of the city if we just get a tweet from Marinakis retweeting the no audio post which just says

The PGMOL and VAR definitely have zero Fucjin G Wot Karate.

I might be wrong, but I think Eddie is on holiday in his mansion in Cyprus?

Ok I've just put the game on and the exact quote from the commentator is

"Well the VAR has already looked at it and already decided for the third time today in Ashley Young's favour"

The time elapsed from the moment CHO was tackled to the moment the commentator quoted the above was 37 seconds.

It seemed a lot less.

I am still unclear why PGMOL doesn't want any audio in the public sphere (only Liverpool's was released because it was a communication error, apparently). This feels like an opportunity for them to help the public understand their processes - so their dragging this on appears a missed opportunity to me. Just a few weeks ago Webb said he meets with clubs/managers for this very purpose, sometimes bringing the ref into said conversation.

Does your 90% reflect fans on the terraces or couch potatoes sat in front of the idiots' lantern?
As a terrace-based fan, and based on the other terrace-based fans I have canvassed I would say 98.5% want VAR removed from the game.
I couldn't give a figure for the couch potatoes who never go to a real live game, but I suspect they would mainly be in favour of keeping VAR as it gives them chance to either vent their spleen at the TV screen while the VAR check is ongoing, or go to fetch another bag of crisps/bottle of lager.

Captain, you’re pretty privileged to be able to afford the time and money to attend every game.

There are many who are not in the same position and would love to attend, but sadly can’t. They’re still fans and the inference they don’t attend as they are “couch potatoes“ is perhaps a little distasteful.

Personally, I would find the term „couch potato“ incredibly offensive in my case, even though my lack of attendance is based on living 850Km from the City Ground.

Now, if you‘d said „Beanbag potato“, you might have been on to something!

Although cauliflower beanbag isn't something you don't want as that's when you get kicked in the jaffas

"Attwell forgot to check it so sorry but there's no audio cos it doesn't exist."

Yeah right. Release the full game audio please from start to finish. If refs can't be accused of anything beyond just bad decisions then there's no harm in releasing the entire game for us to ponder over. And whilst you're at it, lets have the audio from the other times we've been f**ked over with nonsense decisions. Nothing nefarious is there and nothing to hide so why not?

Also funny given Simon Jordan et al were shoving it down our throats earlier saying the audio recordings will demonstrate simple human error. Nope.

Simple human error... from the on field referee at match pace, sure. But simple human error from a highly qualified professional with multi angle video available?! Well that implies he's (and his colleagues) either incompetent, negligent or corrupt. Take your pick. And we're right to call them out.

I was about to put a few incidents together about City benefiting in the most obvious way and one of the first ones that came to mind was this.

And when I googled it a familiar name came up.


"The VAR, Stuart Attwell, made a lot of Doku getting his foot to the ball (repeatedly saying "plays the ball" and that attempting to win the ball was "reasonable")"



No wonder he's backing him.

Yes, I am fortunate to be able to get to games.
And yes, couch potatoes is too extreme.
As for Strummer... no bloody commitment :)
