    That's the thing here, really. This decision is just objectively wrong. It also overrules the initial decision by the ref.

    The VAR official for this match is Jon Moss. Does he really not know the rules or guidelines? Seems unlikely.
    He's a highly experienced official at the top level. Why is he consistently getting these decisions wrong?
    Is he just incompetent? I find it hard to believe that he can be this bad.

    So it then boils down to either politics with the refs being told to behave in a certain way or simple corruption. Or it's the syndrome that we get with politicians and authority in general. Anybody who wants to be in these positions should automatically be barred.

    If Villa and Bournemouth were to lose today, then the relegation places would effectively be decided, barring a miracle.
    The title was decided ages ago and the European places are getting sewn up quickly.
    The Champions League spots are mainly close because of Utd's recent "lucky" run.

    If there's nothing to play for in the last couple of rounds of games, then there'll be a lot of lost viewers.

    Yep it makes you think. There is so much money sloshing around. We know how corrupt the International Cricket Council is and there is no doubt whatsoever about their corruption. In India there are huge amounts of money swilling around and they make sure that cricket follows it. We look at the FA as incompetent but they are very much the same sort of people you find running the ICC perhaps it's not incompetence at all.

    Now I could be wrong, but I have a sneaking suspicion that this may have been a bit of a dive...

    Only good thing about Spurs this season? We won't get relegated! Let's see how much they care by knocking the crap out of Arsenal,or not!?

    Blimey Leicester committing suicide here. Schmeichel kicks a goal kick into his own player who fouls the forward for a penalty and then have a defender sent off after a second goal for petulantly kicking out as the forward retrieves the ball from the back of the net. Brainless.

    And just to round it off, Leicester defender passes to Solanke for some reason who admittedly finishes very well. Hope they play this badly against us.

    I'd suggest playing games in a Covid hotspot might be affecting them somewhat...

    Well for one, their training ground is outside the exclusion zone - but their stadium is slap bang in the middle of it

    This is before taking into account whether any players or coaches live within the zone

    <laugh> ok mate.
    You would think that someone would have thought of testing everyone that entered the training grounds and actual stadiums though, you could suggest this to the PL :bandit:

    Abu Dhabi pockets are very deep.
    EUFA pockets are now very full.

    Obviously Fair Play means Fair as in market and not, as you may have been led to believe, equal chance.

    Either way I hope this finishes FFP and some of our fan base can stop making that excuse for Levy’s penny pinching
