I would tend to agree.

it's seen sometimes as a yellow, more times as a red and I wouldn't see that as being appealable

if the pgmol see this as a convenient means to cool everything off and hang the ref out to dry they might use it but I'd suspect they'll increase the ban as you say to back their incompetent

The appeals are handled by an independent panel. They will look at the footage and decide.

Don’t like how this has all gone.

Look refs cock up. Anyone can do it. Did they do it on purpose? I’m not jumping on any conspiracy that there’s any kind of agenda against any particular clubs. Maybe there is maybe there isn’t. But all fans think **** decisions go against them and go for their rivals or the bigger clubs.

Is there a quality issue with the referees? Maybe. Do they make 100’s of decisions a game and the vast majority of them correct? Yes.

Do players ever make mistakes? Absolutely.

Does anyone ever make mistakes in their job? Absolutely.

Are the rules these days way too complicated? 100%

If you start sacking referees for making genuine mistakes then it’s a really slippery slope. Where do you get more from? Promote from efl? What if they make a mistake, you soon run out of referees.

Not helping themselves by clearly trying to bullshit their way out of it. There wasn't enough time to check the lines; there was 40secs between the ball going in and the game restarting, there was 10secs between it saying 'VAR checking for offside' to 'check complete'.

Something else happened imo and the only way we find out is if they release the audio. However, they've had plenty of time to create new audio now so that wouldn't convince conspiracy enthusiasts.

Personally, I've moved on. It was bullshit, we got screwed and there is nothing we can do about that match now. Time to focus on the next game.

Doesn't mean we have to just accept the shocking refereeing standards though (and not just for us), something needs to change there. I was moaning salt this long before the Spurs game.

While I wouldn't put anything past them, they won't be able to make a new recording or erase bits of the real recording because it has a digital footprint specific to the game.

it's fairly obvious Milk caused all of this and should be shot.

I'm the only one with clean hands as I wasn't watching and thus had no influence on the game and couldn't send telepathic waves to make the players (and refs) perform better.
 
Can't see us looking for a replay or to be given points, seems to me this is about accountability and calling PGMOL out for just being plain ****.
How many times do they have to issue they've made a mistake that changed the course of a game before something changes. If we'd reached the end of the season only had 1 or 2 'mistakes' then it could be forgiven, but the season is 7 games old (only another 300+ games to go) and there's already been 2 or 3 major ones, plus countless others.

Also I didn't see an apology, just admission of guilt.

I think a red was harsh but probably not harsh enough to be overturned.

What I find interesting in this situation is that it seems to have pulled as lot of fans together, regardless of their alliance. Seen many opposition fans, Man Utd fans included, slating the officials over this.

Not seen an Everton fan yet though <whistle>

You're right. It's also galvanised our own fans, players and manager into having an even more powerful togetherness and never give up attitude.

It's a real opportunity to bring about meaningful change for everyone, all teams not just us, make the system better and build more transparency with accountability built in.
