Reddit's full of them crying about the offside toe, unironically ignoring a long run of suspiciously wrong VAR calls they've benefitted from all season
VAR survives because fans make everything into a miniature tribal grievance rather than understanding that we as fans must join together to take our game back.
We are all trapped in this nightmare together.
This is a calculated move to have the refs go against us. Its incredibly important the fans and club push back. I think we are really up against it now.
Ignoring that without it, it amplifies the corruption and shields it from scrutiny
Revolting antisemitic cunt
Quite Ironic that we end up with the best Stadium in Europe and its what could end up sending us down.....
They do believe it mate. But I think both the and us have been fucked over. Bit like Wolves a few years ago.
Have you visited our very own pages where the same is being discussed?
Doesn't fly.
If that was the case, Maddison would have gotten a penalty.
Our first of the season!
It's almost as if every fan base has it's fair share of conspiracy theorists that every time the going gets tough start looking for people to blame. Lucky for us, we're the only fan base that don't have that problem.
I think every fanbase feels hard done by but the reality is the officials just aren't very good and VAR doesn't work
There's no vendetta. They're just crap.
Doesn't explain how we are an extreme outlier in penalty and card statistics this season. No other team is even remotely close to us.
The problem is that when something is poorly implemented and inconsistently applied, uneven outcomes are inevitable. And frankly even a perfectly functioning VAR system would produce variation — that's just the nature of it.
Certain clubs have effectively built their entire attacking identity around manufacturing fouls for set pieces and winning penalties and decisions related to contact in the box. Others, ourselves included, create far fewer of those situations going forward and therefore have considerably less to benefit from even a fair system.
As has been said above, we need to stop making this about our own club and instead make the broader argument with one voice — that VAR as currently implemented favours clubs who have made an art form of manipulating their body position to draw contact and embellishing it, and that the whole system needs to be fundamentally rethought or scrapped altogether.
As they always say in Motorsport ; it’s not about beating your opponents, it’s about beating the rule book.
Clubs like the Arse seem to have realised how to push the current rules to the limit;and whilst it isnt pretty they’ve made it work for them . Cynical c-nts .
The anti-football club is the prime villain here but others have seen the result of their success and started doing the same things. The anti-football club is metastasizing.
Do you think there is a limit to their punishment we earned by letting VAR forget to state which action their comment was in relation to? 3 years? 120pts? I mean it was a real 6-pointer of a game. It can't simply be 6 points-worth of punishment, you have to multiply by twenty and round to the nearest oligarch.
I haven't confirmed the data. But if true, that is either evidence of massive bias, or some sort of training/skill/luck deficit in our players. Simplest thing is bias. We've churned enough trainers, players and managers to eliminate the club.
What if our majestic awe-inspiring stadium IS the problem. Hear me out, not the pitch, but the AWESOMENESS. Refs are coming in and feeling like the little guy in a big pond. They are narcissistic twats by nature, so they express themselves through by siding against us. I'm phrasing it in jest, but I'd be interested to see if more of the bias occurs at home or away. Let's be serious here, our home form is fucking shocking, so I think I know the answer.
NOTE: I know we look bad, but that often happens when we start getting bad calls and it compounds.
