VAR and Refs | General Discussion | May 15: Premier League clubs to vote on proposal to scrap VAR from next season
- Thread starter Samid

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
No, it's a fraction of a second before. Here's a fraction of a second after:
No offside.
Why is he blowing up if the linesman hasn't lifted his flag ? Can only be a brain fart of a decision.
He's changed his mind about playing the advantage with Grealish through on goal and brought it back to the free kick
The entire City XI surrounded the ref and Haaland told the ref to "Feck off" about a dozen times during the incident and and after full time.
They're a law unto themselves. Easy for refs to act Billy Big Bollocks and send off a no name player like Dunk for giving them grief but they're terrified of reprimanding the stars, probably because they're under orders not to, because it hurts the "product."

Amusing because it's City but that is genuinely one of the worst decisions I've ever seen.
Diabolical decision.
That might just be the worst "decision" I've seen. He's through 1 on 1
He's got that spot on, Grealish was covered fully by 3 spurs defenders and without advantage. The reaction is one of utter shock that a call has gone against city.
Patiently awaiting the Haaland ban.

This can’t be a serious post
This one is actually hilarious. It's like he's actively trying to sabotage City!
What in the blue hell are you talking about?
If he was trying to sabotage them, he wouldnt have played the advantage in the first place. He's made a 50:50 judgement call that Grealish was about to be tackled by any number of the spurs players. Seen them given.This one is actually hilarious. It's like he's actively trying to sabotage City!
I know you're probably joking, but this is when he blew the whistle. I'd say this is quite a bit bigger of a chance than a freekick in your own half.
its before that screengrab, you can see the city player already protesting and 2 spurs players stopped and looking the other wayI know you're probably joking, but this is when he blew the whistle. I'd say this is quite a bit bigger of a chance than a freekick in your own half.
He was clear.
Grealish isn't the fastest, but it's extremely clear that this chance is a lot better than a freekick in your own half. Again, I assume you're joking.
Not really. There are 2-3 players close behind and are not even close to goal.
To be fair, Grealish would have manipulated a foul out of that situation all day.He was clear.
Grealish isn't the fastest, but it's extremely clear that this chance is a lot better than a freekick in your own half. Again, I assume you're joking.
Talking about anything City related with that man is like talking to a wall wasting your time.He was clear.

That was way too quick to be called back for offside. He blew his whistle as soon as Haaland kicked it.
The only thing I can think of is that he didn't see Grealish. Nothing else makes any sense. There was certainly no flag for off-side.
Haha, funny because it happened City but what kind of a decision was that? He shows advantage, Haaland plays Grealish through and he decides to call it back. Comedy refereeing.
Even more comedy that no doubt City will now scream about cheating and corruption.
It was just yet another referee cock up, every club has suffered from them this season.
Yeah, I think the ref just had a brainfart. It happens sometimes.
So he thinks Haaland is kicking it in behind the Spurs defence for fun?
Does anyone enjoy football anymore? Let's just ask the officials what score they want before kick off and save us all the nonsense in between. Football is dead or dying.
No that ball is moving too remember, its a footrace between grealish and the defender at top. Not much in it. I think the reaction is largely due to how rarely a city goes 'against' city. If that was in the 50th minute for example, I dont think theres such scrutiny.He was clear.
Grealish isn't the fastest, but it's extremely clear that this chance is a lot better than a freekick in your own half. Again, I assume you're joking.
It was bad decision. But to write that knowing what your club is being investigated for is little bit to much.
Everybody know by now that the only ”big” team being on wrong side of pretty much every important decisions are ManUtd. It is no secret.
A few mistakes with VAR protocol today I think. No idea what was going with the var at times in our game with the Colwill one. Also our pen is just about clear and obvious.
Ref has had an absolute nightmare here, or its fixed":.

As bad a call as the Newcastle hand ball earlier in the week. Ref will probably be stood down for a week.
I think football was a better sport and entertainment without var, there were mistakes but people accepted them.
Now there are still mistakes but we're 300 pages on this thread because everyone feels like the officiating should be perfect but it's actually dogshit.

Funny to see the outrage from City given how many dubious calls have gone their way this season.
I like this post.

Watching football these days though, you can't even celebrate goals. Gotta wait for VAR to actively find something to rule it out.
The officials are still getting huge decisions wrong game after game after game, but with less excitement in the sport since you have to wait for the all clear on everything.
It's dying.
Also when City have won three leagues in a row and the treble last year and they're railing against the establishment. Amazing stuff
Agreed
Agree, I've stopped celebrating goals.
Money and all this rule changing stuff have killed football. VAR is big part of it.
I think we witnessed the death of football once we heard "Sheikh Mansour, my lord" being sung in the terraces.
Has he feck, it was a good advantage played.
Haaland stayed on his feet and Grealish is through, there's no way he should be blowing the whistle unless a Spurs player gets to the ball first.
Keep saying this again and again but how obvious does it have to get before people will stop calling these incidents mistakes and call them for what they are, which is cheating/corruption.
You don't accidentally play advantage then change your mind when the team you're giving an advantage gets through on goal, do you? There is no way to explain that as an honest mistake and even if it is, it's so incompetent the ref should be immediately sacked.
If I made a mistake that bad in my job I would be sacked
