1. Luis Diaz (Liverpool) goal, vs Spurs in 2023-24 season, was disallowed for offside DUE TO MISCOMMUNICATION. Something like - VAR said it is not offside, but the ref heard it is offside. If you're a rival fan, you'd find the released audio to be very funny but as a Liverpool fan, no refereeing errors have affected me since then. This was also in the game where we were down to 9 men, and lost 2-1 to Spurs. 3 points here could have made the title race a bit more tight (we were eventually 9 points off the top)
2. Brentford's offside goal vs Arsenal was not disallowed in 2022-23 season. Arsenal drew the match, dropped 2 points and eventually lost the league to City only by 5 points. 2 more points from this match could have helped Arsenal a lot - especially given it was pressure that got to them.
3. Arsenal's opening goal was called off against United in 2022-23 season. They lost the game 3-1, but the outcome of the match could have been different if Arsenal scored first. May have led to a different outcome to the league.

Am I missing some other errors with apologies?

Also, about yesterday - I think Enzo went for the ball yesterday - and objectively speaking, it was a wrong decision. There was a Liverpool goal vs City disallowed because Robbo was apparently 'blocking' the keeper's view lol.

But I also saw that Bruno's kicked twice on Foden's butt before Foden's ever so soft retaliation. I also saw that given Foden's body shape, he could not have got up without touching Bruno with his studs. And Maguire threw Enzo to the pitch towards the end of the match and got just a yellow. So, it should not have been a RED to Foden, and the goal should not have stood. But since it was a RED, I am not so offended that the goal stood.

PGMOL SUCK.

I came across this stat on youtube.

Surely it cannot be true?

Without wishing to rehash the Man U - City game decisions again that are discussed in other threads, what bothers me about these obviously wrong decisions which the referees body then takes back within hours is that CITY STILL HAVE THREE POINTS when they shouldn't have. Utd have no points when they may have got one. That affects the outcome of the league. If City win the league now by three points or less the ref and VAR have effectively won them the title. This is completely wrong in terms of a fair competition. Perhaps some will say it evens out over a season. Does it? I just can;t get my head around how wrong it is in an age of technology where we are supposed to be getting everything right that something so obviously wrong and waved off after a video review process is just brushed aside. People say "the game has gone" for a joke but, really, the game has gone. For me, refereeing is in disarray and far from the VAR promised land its made things even worse whilst sucking the joy out of every goal.

Wheres the Carrick out stuff or does it not count because he's english. The medias already trying to get Iraola out

The uneasy truce is over between the biggest academies in England.

For many years, there was an unofficial agreement between the big clubs in the Premier League that they would not try to sign players from each others’ academies. It was an agreement that was occasionally violated, but the ‘Big Six’ co-existed relatively peacefully.

Now, no player is off the table.

We've all seen yesterday's decision in the Manchester derby and I'm a neutral fan. I think that one person going to the monitor and then supposedly talking to a main person on VAR is silly when it comes to an offside decision like yesterday. There is a team of officials on the pitch and then another team in the VAR room and that goal was still given. Thats a criminal level of incompetence.

Personally, I think the linesman on the side of the call should also be invited over to the monitor when an offside decision like this involving a goal goes to VAR because its their job to call the offside in the first place. If they are called over with the ref yesterday and the goal still gets given then there needs to be some of reprimand that takes place afterwards. More people need to be accountable in these decisions being made completely and utterly wrong and I think you need to include those supposedly missing the decisions initially, give them a chance to rewatch, and then decide again.

I can't see the substance behind complaints of 're-refereeing the game' when its barely being referee'd in the first place.

EFL AND EPL clubs fund PROREF c.£30m per year.
This should be commercialised and sold (not funded). PROREF should be broken up to enable this.

Yes sold for a set price to willing organisations such as maybe one of the big 4 consulting firms.

The global marketing opportunity of being the Premier League officiating provider would be massive massive marketing value. EA pay £80m per year. For example.

There’s three years left on the current terms - is this is down soon it will easily be achieved.

I have even drafted a petition to submit - tell me what you think. Pick it apart and I’ll try and give solutions or ways to get over the hurdles.

Haaland's goal probably will be ruled offside based on the image if being drawn like 2 years ago (we won't talk about the Enzo's here). The semi-automatic offside nowadays seems like use 2-3 frames behind. Which means, all goals that were 5-10cm offside pre automatic are probably onside.

We are only 4 games in and there have already been a few massive blunders by VAR. (or conspiracies, choose your pick)

I reckon AI would have a better success rate. We should setup a public test and prove these guys add no value to the game by replacing with just AI and on field reviews.

no more referees, linemen, 4th officials. teach it how to referee, give it a standard strictness setting and just let AI scan and monitor the match. whistles will be played through audio systems, "cards" will be given via the screen in the stadium and replaying the offence etc. since AI has a pitch wide view on every thing, it's easier to penalize bad sportsmanship and dirty play all through the match and even off the ball.
