Let's watch on Thursday to see how they both respond.
To be honest, I have no interest in other teams now due to the corruption that we’ve seen. Like the F1 it will all be about the entertainment and how the group can manipulate it to make a spectacle.
Both of them plus the rags will get plenty of help to keep this league the 'product' they want, a race to the wire etc etc. Expect to see Mo-diver, Bitch-Boy Bruno & Co taking to the air plenty of times, buckets of soft penos for Tranny Christmas! (they have to keep his ego happy too). To counteract we will have to play literally blistering football, which is near on impossible every 3 or 4 days. We will get no 'help' so in the vast majority of our league games we will have to play the best football ever seen. Only then will we win it.
Last night VAR checked a Zinch handball outside the box and Rodri apparently so called 'kicking' their keeper. If that was the rags, or vermin I would warrant a guess that those things would not have been checked so thoroughly with such vigor.
Call me paranoid I don't mind, and obviously it made no difference but the Foden off side where his toe was over the VAR blue line, how do we know for sure those screen images are accurate and unaltered. They have the technology to change it. Do we have to just trust them? Don't think I ever will.
Instead of adjudicating they are using VAR to find incidents to catch us out. Couldn't and didn't work last night but watch out!
Well, if your paranoid you’re amongst a decent group, even Pep knows that we’re officiated and treated differently. Everything you say we see game in and game out and it needs to be called out, if not only for ourselves because not many others listen.
When I’m home I watch the games with one of my lads who is a United fan (2 others City) and would never have any of it, especially for his club. So, I started to trickle things in, going for United and stuff that goes against City. It didn’t take long for him to start seeing these things himself and within no time he’s telling me how the league has helped them out and how they hamper other teams.
Sky and the PL don’t do this for the sport, they were specifically set up to make a profit and if that comes by manipulating the sport by owning the officials then so be it, needs must. And, just like the F1, there will be times when the fix is made obvious because of the desperation to make things happen but they then have the cheer leaders in place to brush it under the carpet. The love-in after the F1 with no real concern of what the rest of the world was talking about does show how things work in the entertainment industry.
It’s there if you are prepared to open your eyes, just that some just don’t want to see.
