There's a proverb for this. 'There is none so blind as they that will not see.'
Having thought about it, counter-intuitively it suits Atwell and the PGMOL to be seen in this case to be merely incompetent. "We're all human", said Webb today.
For a highly paid professional to demonstrate such a fundamental misreading of a clearly apparent action, and also the rules that apply to it, stretches credibility till it snaps.
This is beyond incompetence because to reach Atwell's position requires both working eyes and an understanding of basic rules.
Is there a slyer form of dishonesty than wilful blindness?
Love your post- a true wordsmith.
And the subtle nuance within raises some very basic questions for Webb which I will frame in very basic language-
1. If not biased, why was Attwell so S**t?
(He’s only human doesn’t really cut it, Howard; at least not with the benefit of countless replays and slow motions). VAR is meant to remove that human error isn’t it?
2. What are you going to do about it?
(Will the axe fall? No mention or reparations, disciplinary action or solution instigation other than ‘we sit around and talk about it every month’).
And a broader question-
3. If the first two aren’t penalties, then why are the rest of your employees giving them on a regular basis in other games and for other teams? (Eg the Man Utd handball the same day and a hundred ‘soft’ penalties given for similar challenges as that on Reyna.)
Is the ‘humanity’ defence not just another way of dressing up mass incompetence?
It still has a very distinct smell to it.
100%

Howard Webb hiding behind the 'we are only human' excuse.
Pathetic and taking the cowards way out.
Hitler was only human too.
EM take them to the bloody cleaners pal.

Webb is not fit for purpose, I`m surprised he didn`t use that old chestnut "we will learn from our mistakes"
Seriously only one was a penalty, they need to get a new sponsor, may I suggest "specsavers" for the var users, and I support any BS.com for the refs
RE: VAR & Crap Referees - The reds - 01-05-2024
That audio isn’t real, I listened to all the ones that were released yesterday all of them were in detail. The Assistant VAR was involved, our audio, just VAR talking about something that never happened. If they released that one the other audio is gonna be worse,

Glad to see the premier League refs are just as shit in Europe as there are for us. Wow they are shocking. Dortmund should have had a pen.

Maybe they are trying to appear incompetent in every game now to prove they’re not biased against us !

If they're doing that (nothing would shock me with this lot) then they are digging a very big hole

Olympiacos have just had a goal originally given offside overturned in their favour by VAR. You couldn’t make it up! EM happy for now.

That Arsenal pen can just f**k right off
Officials manufacturing a title race?
Only reason can see that given, particularly when you consider Awoniyi one we were told wasn't enough contact

Absolute joke, and Joe Cole can f off given the normal media bias.

Not sure if this is correct but seeing this on Twitter.....
"Am not saying the premier league is corrupt but having Anthony Taylor as ref Saturday and Rob jones & Stuart Attwell as linesman and Paul Tierney on VAR is a bit suspect don’t you think #nffc"
"Not much better got a Leicester fan as var and rob jones is var in Luton game"
