Crap Referees

[Salvatore Matrecano]

They need to release the dialogue from VAR discussions for all games. Only then would you be able to trust the system. You’d hear the reasoning. However this won’t happen because they are unprofessional and have bias.

It wont happen because the system is flawed from the outset, too many decisions remain subjective and open to interpretation therefore thay cannot release dialogue because it will solve nothing.
The best solution is to return to the old way, scrap VAR, the on field decision is final whatever the rights and wrongs and the whole thing evens itself out.

This time of year we get to see how VAR can work well. Football turns its nose up at other sports, however.

An oldie referenced in an athletic word soup:

So it was ever thus.

As previously said, not convinced us moaning every match and employing an ex ref to diss his former colleagues is actually doing us any favours.
Speaking up is admirable but if the end result is referees double down and say no way are we letting this scummy little club ruin our cosy cartel then we will end up even worse off.

Dermot Gallagher said he thought James Maddison was lucky not to have been sent off for his punch on Yates yesterday.

As ever, the on-pitch decision is wrong.

Wow.

@NFFC 'Three extremely poor decisions - three penalties not given - which we simply cannot accept.

We warned the PGMOL that the VAR is a Luton fan before the game but they didn’t change him. Our patience has been tested multiple times.

NFFC will now consider its options.'

Good. Too bloody right

Not sure what we hope to achieve by this and wouldn't be surprised if there's a rule that we've broken around bringing the game into disrepute by tweeting it.

It is right regarding the decisions though - all three should've been given by VAR. However questioning the integrity of a match official doesn't feel like a good idea.

Not entirely sure what options we have to consider either.

If he is genuinely a Luton fan how have they let him VAR this game? Also, it's bad for his career too as surely his reputation is in tatters after that.
