- VAR
- ****ing around with the handball/offside rules
- Everyone still seem to be a bit retarded from the lack of pre-season
Conspiracy theory:
- Struggling giants, very bad for the PL brand. Mr Zhang wont be buying his kiddo a brand new, dirty expensive Maguire shirt as long as they are shit and Mr Wang wont renew his PL TV-subscription if his beloved Liverpool produce results like the 1-7 against Villa.

I said on another thread, VAR has highlighted the inconsistencies and substandard nature of Premier League refereeing.
I'm sure the Premier league didn't want that to happen.

I don't think that one or the city one today are penalties under normal circumstances. Under var this year, they are both penalties to remain consistent but they are city and we are not.Both the handball decisions today were ridiculous but it shows the lack of consistency when we didn’t get a penalty
on Friday.

Its always has done and always will be that the big 6 get the rub of the green with ref decisions. The handball today was given, so then the one against Burnley should have been and another one against either Totts or WBA should as well. I don't mind either way as long as the refs are consistent with these decisions . . . but they are not.

There is consistency though.
I remember commenting on the match thread that both handball calls in the Burnley penalty area were only penalties for top 6 sides. The refs have been perfectly consistent with my theory.
In addition, we’d have had another one when Lamptey was dragged by the arm but was too honest to go down.
Used to be rare to get a penalty. Given by ref when he thought 100% it was a foul and handball when hand outstretched and making a difference to play. Lets get back to refs making these decisions. At free kicks players used to protect there balls. Do they no longer do this
