I think VAR makes rigging the season over 38 games easier

The Chairman of the big clubs want it, so clubs like Brighton will not get a say. About time someone takes it through the courts, especially if it turns out they suffer financial losses as a consequence of decisions made, but we know the dodgy arabs will have bigger lawyers. It's cheating.

Remember when it didn't "work", Villa got a decision which contributed to another club getting relegated, can't remember exact details but was something like that.

Thing is mate, we shouldn't use a broken system, even if it's the humans at fault. Like I said we might as well return to the decades tried and tested matches of refs just making the decisions, and bin off a complete and absolute waste of money that keeps officials in jobs, joke system is turning the game into a laughing stock.
 
Palace need to keep clear of that dog fight at the bottom, so pleased for them, especially being a south london club.
 
So you agree with cheating then. I wonder how long before a club takes this through the courts. VAR was meant to cut out the errors, it's a system that is costly, if it fails as it has done, then what's the purpose of it, there has to be accountability and I'm not seeing any that favours the lesser club. Brighton to get Champions League would defy the super six and we can't be having that can we. Void the game and replay it, simples.
Clubs won't get anywhere, even if they dared risk their golden goose. A class suit from season ticket holding fans, on the other hand, would at least make the FA sit up and take notice.
 
Said on spurs board when we've had **** decisions that it ain't a conspiracy... it is incompetence.
The refs are shockingly ****e.
The rules are shockingly ****e (look at the farce around handball decisions).
We have allowed players to act like ****s to refs with no repercussions for years...(I remember the Ashley Cole one at whl in 2008 as I was there about 10 yards away ..http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/7298146.stm, the United team going apeshit at Middlesbrough being given a penalty etc.)

There are probably hundreds of examples where Little or no action was taken about refs being treated like **** so those prepared to do the hard graft to become a top referee drops cos it's way worse in non league and kids football where young refs cut their teeth.
The lack of refs, poorly written rules and the lack of bottle from the fa in punishing players has led directly to us having a really poor selection of referees imo
