Having private conversations about rank incompetence doesn't help the fans who invest financially and emotionally in supporting the club. Just makes us wonder what's going on.
How would making the conversation public damage either the club or the PGMOL?
It's very different. In the heat of the moment you can bottle a decision. But on VAR, you see the event replayed again and again and again, from different camera angles, in slow motion. The heat of the moment is taken out of the decision.
If you still get it very badly wrong, it's remarkable...
Who could possibly look at the Mitoma penalty incident from several angles in slow motion and be so incompetent that they really believed it was not a penalty?
