Mexal Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 I hate the FA. Please hold someone fucking accountable for once. This bullshit can and has screwed seasons. Rather get rid of VAR and deal with human error than human error on something they literally reviewed for 7 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse Named Stranger Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Back from the Stadium, 1-0 no VAR. I slowly start to come around appreciating Australian footballers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Relieved we got the three points. We were genuinely fucking terrible for most of that game. Barcelona will destroy us if we perform the way we did in these past two games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be zero consequences and Lee Mason will be back to doing Lee mason things. It's not even about him to be fair, it's the lot of them.

Spockydog Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 Arseblog on the absolute state of Lee Mason (who was born and bred in Manchester, btw): Quote "They can take their acknowledge and their explain, and shove it up their hole, frankly. That won’t give us back the two points. I mentioned it was a bad weekend for officiating, and Brighton’s perfectly good goal being disallowed because they drew the offside lines in the wrong place is, at least, the sort of error that can happen. It’s still abysmal, but you can understand a lot more than a complete and utter failure to draw the lines at all. Focus is on Lee Mason, and rightly so, because this isn’t the first time he’s got it badly wrong, but he wasn’t alone in the VAR booth. There’s an assistant there too. Did he ‘forget’ to draw the lines too? That seems doubtful to me, given how basic that part of the job was, so did Mason overrule him if he was reminded? Then it becomes more than human error. You can’t forget if the person sitting beside you says ‘Er, what about the lines?’. Then it’s not an error at all, it’s deliberate. Which, I understand, is heading into the realms of conspiracy a bit, but it’s a bit like a pilot on approach forgetting to put the landing gear down. You would imagine the co-pilot might say something. I already find it hard to believe that somebody trained to do a very specific job can simply forget to do the most fundamental part of it, and I find it nigh on impossible to believe that two people would have the same brain fart at the same time. Offsides + VAR needs lines. Even without them, the footage shows an offside pretty clearly – BUT, if Lee Mason had any doubts about it, how would he have made sure? Lines! So, something doesn’t stack up for me. They can cite ‘human error’, and I think we all understand that can happen, but I’m not convinced this was simply incompetence. I just can’t see how it’s that and only that." The bolded part raises a very good point. Of course we're never going to get an explanation.

Spockydog Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 We had three games this weekend where the results were directly determined by incompetent officiating. Forget titles. People's livelihoods are determined by these idiots. It's only a matter of time before a club seeks redress in the courts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the plus side, City won't sit with a low block so that should help keep us in the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
