The var officials absolutely should have to do that now after each game. No reason at all they shouldn't when they've had the benefits of replays to make their decision.

Some sort of review procedure held publicly would be a great idea, and it might help improve consistency in decisions as well.

But then the Premier League officials' big club bias would become even more apparent

A bit strong being charged for telling the truth and repeating what a large majority of fans and some press pundits thought and said? Seems like belated nepotism to me, but what do I know, I am too biased perhaps.

You can't and never have been allowed to say what Ralph said. I've lost count of the amount of times Ferguson was charged by the FA for saying similar stuff.

That is part of the problem, it gives the Officials a sense of invincibility, they can't be touched. In the past a few have been taken out of the system, but never actually punished for getting it wrong. There will always be accusations of corruption, how many times has that been proved? The problem lays in the fact that Managers can get sacked over a couple of costly incorrect decisions, but there never has been any comeback. VAR ought be a tool that would sort it out, it hasn't.

Finally received my season ticket early Oct. It states price band as Disabled Adult.

I'm not registered disabled and wondered if it could ever become an issue. Eg if the ticket got checked could I be accused of lying to get in cheaper?

Contacted customer service and fair play they replied swiftly on the 6th. Printing a new ticket and sending the same day.

It is now the 16th and no new ticket. My saga continues :D

Now to find out my old card doesn't work on the turnstiles...
 
Btw I'm not sure Ralph did anything wrong! When the ref is called to the monitor the decision is nearly always changed.

He was just stating what we all know :p
