Only just remembered we had those extra officials near the goals for a few years. This worked better than VAR.
Yeah it was, later also revealing his gameplan was to "let Spurs lose the title" instead of following the rules and sending half the team off, because the headlines would be "Clattenburg cost Spurs the title". That and the Dean admission just shows the current setup has zero trust worthyness and it all needs to be completely revamped.Was listening to under the cosh podcast earlier and they had Danny Simpson on, he told a story how in one game when they were going for the league drinkwater should have been sent off second yellow but clattenburg said to him you should be off but I want you to win. Wtf. I would never have thought there was truth in this but it’s hard to doubt it these days, got me thinking too, was it clattenberg who reffd the spurs Chelsea game towards the end of that season
Clattenburg has said that he saw himself as the person responsible for orchestrating the match, not just enforcing the rules, and that he'd basically not do his job if he thought it'd add to the spectacle.Was listening to under the cosh podcast earlier and they had Danny Simpson on, he told a story how in one game when they were going for the league drinkwater should have been sent off second yellow but clattenburg said to him you should be off but I want you to win.

Unless we want the premier league to become a WWE type of spectacle, which honestly doesnt seem too unbelievable at PGMOL, SKY and premier league officials..
Pogba clatters souness with a fold up chair……Pep and City just as they are celebrating lifting the trophy Klopp emerges from the tunnel and challenges them to a cage match.
With special guest referee Graeme Souness....
Yup agreed with this. Almost like what they do in Tennis.I do think we need to go a system where reviews are called by teams. It was meant to be for clear and obvious errors i.e. howlers. Now feels like the entire game is getting re-refereed and micromanaged very inconsistently by someone watching slo-mo and using still images to make subjective calls. Calls that noone ever complained about before VAR.
Give the teams 2 reviews each to be called by captain or coach. No slo Mo's or still images because they just muddy the waters.
They system should be used to just stop the genuine mistakes, not used to turnover subjective calls.
I just listened to this cos I really didn't believe you, oh my god it's true! Football referees are a disgrace.Was listening to under the cosh podcast earlier and they had Danny Simpson on, he told a story how in one game when they were going for the league drinkwater should have been sent off second yellow but clattenburg said to him you should be off but I want you to win.

The Ronaldo story was great.I really have no reason to lie. Danny Simpson was just as shocked with it.
if you listened to it all did you hear the bit about miss California changing once Ronaldo showed upthese podcasts show most teams are just like a better version pub team with very similar attitudes.
it’s for another thread but I listened to Chadwicks one with them too, on about the standards at United and then when he went to Burnley I think it was they were all drinking on the bus after the match and it was more relaxed. I think this is what is meant when United mentality is talked about. That commitment to be the utmost professional and to be the best.
if you have chance listen to the one with Si ferry about di Canio, di Canio sounds bonkers, I was in stitches.
All he has to do is pay for the referees reports.Tweet

Add Florentino Perez to the growing chorus of people expressing dissatisfaction with how VAR operates. People have always complained about individual VAR decisions but it feels like this season has opened the gates for a wider questioning of the operational structures of VAR.
They have one with Lee sharpe too, worth a listen.The Ronaldo story was great.
It's interesting how quick he moved to Leicester and how he got dropped so quickly.
I am literally about to board a 10 hour flight so I'll download, thanks for the recommendations.
That was the correct use of VAR. They played on and let the attacking phase finish giving Liverpool the benefit of the doubt and then reviewed it afterwards.I know my anti-VAR stance is real when I can watch Liverpool denied a late equaliser last night, due to an extremely fussy call, and remain 100% committed to my hatred of the stupid thing.
Interestintly it was not shown at all, so probably a penaltyAny replay of the maguire pen? Commentary thought it was a pen
Not a red on both casesAny video of the stamp on Garnacho? Should have been a red given the logic of Rashford’s red, no?
You just know it will be at least as much as a penalty as the one City got against us.Interestintly it was not shown at all, so probably a penalty
He got a yellow and they didn't even overturn itClear foul in the box on Eze, not given.
Yellow for a dive?He got a yellow and they didn't even overturn it![]()

A United goal.What was that check for?
A United goal.
Was there a big stoppage? Actually can't remember much at all apart from the var check on the goal8 min for what?
There were a good few subs and Hojlund wasted a bit of time when he was on the deck but don't know if it makes 8.Was there a big stoppage? Actually can't remember much at all apart from the var check on the goal
