These guys went to a great length to criticize arteta and protect PGMol. But when Manchester United got decisions against them, they are suddenly against var and referees? And United got robbed somehow? Where was that energy with arteta?
This is why Var and referees won’t improve that much. They didn’t care about it when it happened to rivals. But once it happened to them, suddenly the world is against them.
I’ll tell you what really pisses me off, the fake football fans who think that it’s good if Arsenal lose to a bad VAR decision, but hate it when United do and vice versa.
It’s terrible for Manchester United if Arsenal lose to a terrible VAR/Refereeing decision, and it’s terrible for Arsenal when Manchester United do. Because if it’s bad for football it’s bad for all of us.
Some people are so self centered and wrapped up in their woe is me, tribal bullshit.
I agree, last night I was near the what’s there point phase, because at the end of the day, it’s just ruining the game, no red card last night, get some decent football in, it’s no wonder players are not performing if they get screwed every week. Jobs are on the line, prize money, and it’s being dictated by VAR, every game in Europe is important due to co-efficients and therefore the number of teams that qualify to boot
I was there on Saturday, past the what’s the point phase after Newcastle scored, didn’t even wait for them to give the goal
The shitty referring standards affects all of us, all teams, and the fact managers get punished for speaking about it, and that sky HAVE to back the PGMOL because “remember who pays your wages” football is not in a good spot in this country
Week in week out someone gets screwed and it’s not right
Best comment I have read on this sub in a very long time.
Thank you for posting this.
Facts, yes have banter but take the fucking tribal hat off for a second and realise it affects us all
