I just thought the first statement was Forest saying ‘we asked you to mitigate against unconscious bias, you didn’t, and now look.’ That’s not saying that the particular VAR is corrupt is it?

Can that ‘first half versus Fulham’ version of Forest find itself? If it can, who knows.

Not just that Erik, can’t see a blatant tackle from behind despite have 25 screens aiding him.

Anyone else remember a frustrated Graham Souness, when Blackburn manager, saying in post match interviews ‘Blackburn Rovers don’t get awarded penalties’ ? I wonder what he was implying because on Monday he was clear there’s no corruption in our game. Was it once corrupt Graham and now gone?

The irony being, back then, there was only a ‘big 5.’ Of which Everton was one.

Imagine if that statement on Sunday had dropped at half time ?!!

Jeff gave him a bit of a challenge though as the show was being handed over. ‘Your understanding Jim? But from who? Who are your sources?’ JW avoided those little questions.

Not for me. Stan ruined it all in the manner he left.

Agreed.

Your office is still a small sample size Emmo. It might extrapolate to wider opinion, but I’d be cautious at this point using your office banter as a barometer to wider opinion.

I really don’t know what to think of it all tbh. But I just wonder why they (PGMOL) would put themselves in a position to be questioned when they could have just changed the VAR. The potential conflict is there and could just have been avoided.

Yeah, but the ref gives the signal on the CHO one that his view is the ball was taken. That’s clearly wrong, so surely a clear and obvious error? Just got to use it as motivation I guess for the remaining matches now

Agree with most of this Emmo. Just my thoughts though, shouldn’t VAR be there to stop the cookie crumbling? Or at least to not have half as many crumbs that we have! 2 out of 3 on the penalties for me too.

For me, having just seen it all again on SSN, it shows that all the attention is on denied penalties. But the reality is, without the hand ball or CHO being chopped down, Forest are technically through on goal. Add that to Pickford’s wonder save from Wood, we would have been in on goal on 3...

Tell me more, I’m interested in your views.

The bias could, probably would be, unconscious too.

One thing that has reassured me about that tweet, is that Jamie Carragher says we have to show more class. He epitomises class does ‘spitter Jamie’ so knows his stuff with regards to acting with class, so we should really pipe down.

Forgot that one

VAR, points deductions, rules that force you to sell your best players on the cheap, selling hotels to each other, price going up, FA cup changes to benefit Juergen and Pep. I just don’t know if it’s worth it anymore.

Is that statement designed to get something from the appeal?
