Coincidence?

The dippers had the benefit of doubt with them last season. This season it’s the rags.

The PL is a well oiled machine in promoting what it wants

It’s all a sham and so predictable when you realise that they need some interest, especially now. Sky have turned a threat into an opportunity by getting the league going again without fans. If you want to watch your team you have to pay for it and if it goes into next season then they’re quids in.

Games like this really make you question why you watch any other team. Apart from out games, I only tune in now to see what they get from the ref And how the games are manipulated. And, to be fair, it happens very often and always where the PL cartel clubs are concerned.

The Dippers had all the decisions last year that made it look a competition. This year, the PL and their lacky’s went overboard and tried to force the issue which has led to where we are now. It’s been noticeable that once it looks like the league is won the dodgy decisions they get seem to stop and all of a sudden they look mediocre for a PL winning team. In the CL they looked terrible and were rightly knocked out when they came up against a manager with a bit of tactical awareness.

Now we’re left to watch some really shite football which is lifted to Brazil type praise, and in that we still get controversial decisions which were supposed to have been eradicated but reasoned away by their paid pundits.

I haven't read much more about FIFA taking over the operation of VAR since the announcement last week.

They had their heads together at pigmol
“we can’t keep giving united penalties, they have broke the record already at 14, I know, let’s disallow all goals scored against them “
“what about penalties”? asked Riley “
“They know not to allow them already” said Oliver.
“Sounds like a plan” said Riley “ Implement with immediate effect”
“Copy that” said Oliver.

And so it was from that day.

Why are the media not making a big deal about this? Or other teams? I understand why Hodgeson won’t because the FA covered up his friendship with Saville. But why do the rest of them just not bother kicking up a fuss?!

I think you know the answer to your question, let me guess, less fuss the better, keep a low profile, it goes away quicker. Any where near with that?

Since the title was awarded early and CAS ruined the 'fifth place is a CL place' excitement, something is needed to retain interest for the few games remaining. Therefore it will be a three way battle for two CL places until Chelsea and Rags just pip Leicester on the last day. A BAFTA winning script.

Agree, it’s almost as is they are manipulating a de facto play off scenario, the Leicester v rags will be almost a play off final for champs league football, some money and clicks generated methinks

So , once again , fans of many clubs will be seething and will be venting their fury over blatant cheating by the VAR officials.

It cannot be incompetence as its a ''press a fuckign button'' to see if there was a foul for fucks sake....the system is there to use..its not a difficult system.......its basically incompetence proof and cheating can be the only answer as to why this is happening.

I'm sick and tired of nothing being done to rectify this blatant fucking cheating - its gone beyond laughable now.

We will be away at a newly promoted club within the first six games guaranteed. Whereas the dippers will have a home tie first up. It’s just a small advantage but it’s one the PL can and do slip in without many people noticing
