They have mics as well. When the ref walks with the ball to Pool's keeper, he has three people in two assistant and 4th official with every chance to shout in his ear. Wait, wait are your sure? That's four people who are bent or blatantly incompetent? Shocker!

Just go to international tourney rules for yellows imo. Two yellows equals a suspension will make shithousery yellows mean something. Which they should, just not in a blue card way.
It’s as bad as their disallowed goal against us in that regard. The need to release the audio of yesterday
Still paying our debt for the dipper match.

Liverpool must now be even with the refs that's like 8 points refs have gift wrapped then since our game
But the standard of reffing is the worst it's ever been imo

Sarr actually jumped into the crowd!
I don't know if the rule has been 'tweaked,' but I always understood that leaving the field of play, without the referee's permission, was a bookable offence. I always took that to be anywhere beyond the hoardings.
It's as dopey to get done for that as it is for taking your shirt off.
Definitely and could have been costly? Another booking for a mistimed tackle and we would have been fucked!
In fact getting booked for frivolous reasons should incur a club fine and a Ange bollocking!
Old trafford under fergie was a cheat scene.
VAR was supposed to clean up football and get rid of bent refs.
All it has done IMO, is prove they're bent and that nobody will do anything about it.
There must be a body/organization to regulate referees. And it needs to be completely independent from them and from all of the football leagues. There needs to be a cross section of "fans" in that organization to make sure no bias is occurring.
This body should not only be responsible for refereeing standards, but the implementation of rules.
For instance, this body should consult with fan groups (the only stakeholders in football) as to what they want to see.
IE - do you want to see 15 minutes of time added on because of time wasting, or do you want the referee to book everyone that does it immediately and not shy away from 2nd yellows either.
Do you want to see a fraction of a mm being checked for offside? And do you want that to take 5+ minutes?
Do you want to see VAR used to give or rescind red cards, but not 2nd yellows?
There's an almost endless list of things referee's say "well it's part of the rules so ner"
Well. Change the fucking rules. And change it so the people who pay everyones wages are happy with it.

100%
VAR has actually been good because it highlighted the issues we have with officials.
People talking about getting rid of it but then we just get the same officials but with less visibility on what they do. The technology is not the problem, the people using it are.
How can we have VAR and yet 99% of people you speak to see that Werner penalty and know it has to be a penalty? But those clowns still don’t give it.
Another huge problem I have with VAR is who is talking about VAR in the media.
Sky Sports, red tops, Talksport etc. They all opine on it, yet seem to completely fail to see what's going wrong with it. I can't figure out of they're being told what to say, or unanimously dumb.
Example - painfully obvious to everyone watching the game that on field refs are not giving as many big decisions, thinking VAR will pick up anything they miss.
The problem is, VAR are working under the assumption it would have to have been a monumental miss by the ref for them to even look at it. This leaves a lot of grey decisions no one is looking at. Just like the Werner one.
Yet all the media outlets can't seem to bring themselves to accuse that ref of not having the balls to make the decision in the moment. But it is 100% what is happening.
VAR had to look at it as it was a possible penalty why didn't they tell the ref "No penalty no cunt dived"?

There's no corruption FFS the problem is they're just shit.
Not sure anymore what there is or isn't.
What I can tell you is that they don't "all even out in the end".
