The common rebuttal has always been “would you want to hear from the ref if we’ve had a boring game?” Which basically goes back to them really only being asked to justify bad calls.

Instead they should just live broadcast all VAR communications on TV (I don’t think it’d be practical to do in the stadium), that way every decision has context and nothing can be hidden.

I think it’s fair to say we deserve accountability, not justification.

There’s no such thing as “under the radar” when you’re talking about a club with the most obnoxious fan base and who control half of the football media.

City lost all 3 matches of Rodri’s ban. They’re almost certainly a Rodri injury away from not winning the league.

Buddy, we’re top of the league with a broken Thomas Partey. City LOST all 3 matches Rodri was suspended for.

It’s not nice

Are you suggesting they sign an 81 year man who retired 10 years ago and had emergency surgery on his brain 5 years ago?

The only rivalry you’ll have with Fergie is a competition in not drooling on yourself.

Uhh there wasn’t anything for VAR to check?

I loved Harry Kane scoring 400 goals a season for Spurs and still ending the season with a look on his face of “what the fuck else can I do?”

Sir, this is a Wendy’s

Erik Lamela won the Puskas

Teams should agree to knock the ball around for the first few minutes of the half as a protest.

Goal. VAR has no business making these calls with the technology available. Goal Decision System had to pass a certain level of scrutiny before it was added.

I thought Haaland being top scorer would’ve been disrespectful to the establishment

Literal propaganda.

Watch at your own peril.

That’s okay, I’ll leave White on.

It doesn’t really matter how easy you make it for the officials. You only have to compare Michael Oliver’s reaction to the fouls by Vieira, Kovacic, Kovacic & Udogie to see it won’t change a thing.

If you look at the past decade, Chelsea have rebuilt their side and won titles/CL in fairly quick cycles. United have had a few small bites at it and won a few cups, but have they really had a season to be proud of since Fergie left?

We’d never get that Haaland penalty awarded to us. Never, not in a million years.

They hit the first man often because they’re driving flat corners with pace into that front post area, there’s an extremely high threshold but when it comes off you have an unstoppable close range header.

The high number of corners is a byproduct of being dangerous at corners. Being good at corners typically means winning more corners, because the opposition struggle to defend them and clear corners out for more.

Watch the games and you’ll see times where we take multiple corners in a row.
