Moshiri could invest £2 billion and Everton would still be a [HASHTAG]#smallclub[/HASHTAG]
I agree with this. Have long said the people doing VAR shouldn't be the same refs who officiate on the pitch, they should be independent of each other.
I don't go for conspiracy theories either - in football or anywhere else.
Refs are human, and football fans, like us - and even though they may not be direct fans of a particular club, they will probably have a subtle bias towards one or the other team in a game for a whole variety of reasons just as we often do.
This is the reason why highly controversial decisions with far-reaching effects need to be open to review.
Only the most anti-LFC observer could deny that that was a clear red. Oliver has a lot going on around him and has some sort of excuse in my opinion - the VAR ref has none whatsoever.
They ****ed up, and they know they did, but rather than have the balls to admit it and take the flak they'll squirm and wriggle and try to find some way to justify that decision.
It happens often, not just to us, but it will keep happening while the authorities have the power to just wave aside objections, throw transparently silly excuses out, and just carry on as before.
VAR was meant to reduce refereeing errors, instead it's just compounding them.
It's up to all the club's who play under VAR to get together and put pressure on the PL to sort this out,as individual clubs will be brushed aside as sour grapes.
think Jaffa was being sarcastic .
Well **** me rigid, what a surprise. I didn't want to find a conspiracy, but no wonder the FA and PGMOL are circling the wagons.
PGMOL just can't admit they're ****. Apparently the 'incident' was seen, so the FA are unwilling to take action against Pickford

Coote and Oliver should be dropped to the lowest level if they can't just say they ****ed up and got it wrong, cause essentially this says they didn't make a mistake and the FA are cool with their decision.

To be fair I don't think it's them saying they don't think it was a mistake. It's always been the process that stuff that is seen at the time they don't punish retrospectively. Bollocks as that may be.
