@WestHam_Central The same Panels that admit to errors every week involving every club. Stop trying to make excuses for West Ham being utterly terrible this season
Jesus Christ, it's unbelievable, and so frustrating.
It's been confirmed in a recent Premier League review that West Ham should have been awarded TWO penalties against Brentford.
Here’s the difference.
Leeds get caught spying, £200k fine.
Southampton get caught spying, potentially removing us from a £180m football match and further TV and sponsorship money.
The punishment difference is so vast, I can’t believe it’s even being considered.

@AdamCrafton_ The other stupids take on this is “well what advantage have they really gained?”…
…well - say that to the saints mgmt team who instructed one of their team to take a 12 hr round trip to get that ‘non-existent’ advantage
@AdamCrafton_@limmylammy@trevorcarsadm It’s a very strange opinion. This became a law in recent years to prevent exactly this sort of action from clubs. Saints have decided to cheat and roll the dice. So obviously a fine isn’t a just punishment. Youre supposed to be an intelligent journalist so how can’t you see that?
@limmylammy@trevorcarsadm An opinion on Twitter isn’t sports journalism. It’s just that: an opinion. Journalism is information I report. I’m not sure what single consequence you would like for an opinion about soccer team being spied on that you don’t like.
@NormanBrennan It’s right next to a swim club so if it’s plausible that it’s an issue with being swept away. Cold weather tho this week means a swim wouldn’t be so appealing
BREAKING NEWS; The Bodies ‘believed’ to be Three young girls have been found on Brighton Beach in Sussex; there are currently no further details at this time

I know it’s all opinions, people will always have their favourites but I am surprised that the general consensus is to move on Aaronson, Gruev and Longstaff, I think all 3 have shown they are all good squad players #lufc
@martynziegler Thats not fair,the last team found guilty was fibed £200,000 yo can’t just start making examples butvyou can fibe them and say..all future cases will get X iam no Southampton fan but respect rules should be set post this case..
NEW: Southampton likely to face sporting sanction such as being excluded from play-off final or points deduction next season if found guilty of spygate.

@WestHam_Central I’m a Leeds fan and that’s a weak side. James doesn’t start in the prem for example and we have 2 youngsters on the bench for the first time ever tonight
Tottenham haven't won a Premier League match at home in over five months.
A win tonight near enough relegates West Ham, who would need to win both of their remaining matches and hope Tottenham do not.
@BroadcastMoose We all know goalkeepers get treated completely different (protected) be refs in those situations vs outfield player so the argument is completely flawed. West Ham will go down by more than 1 point and have been terrible all season. Nothing to do with yesterdays var call
My honest and balanced take on that decision:
Yes it is a foul by Pablo - he grabs hold of Raya’s arm which clearly impedes his ability to collect the ball
But has VAR has completely overlooked a series of events that precede this….
- Trossard has two arms around Pablo and is wrestling him from the moment the corner is taken. He doesn’t let go and he’s not even looking at the ball for christ sake.
- Gabriel is also blatantly pulling on his shirt.
- This restricts Pablo’s ability to jump for the ball, where he without question has a very good opportunity of beating Raya to the ball and scoring a header.
- The pulling and grappling also results in Pablo’s arm flying out to help retain his balance.
- On top of this, Havertz hauls Soucek to the ground before the corner comes in, whilst Rice is all over Summerville and then Mavropanos.
If you’re going to micro-analyse 25 different angles of the Raya incident alone for 5 minutes because it’s such a huge moment, how can you just ignore everything else happening around it?
"Ref Watch on Sky completely ignoring the “clear and obvious“ point of VAR. If a ref had to see it 17 times, it’s not clear & obvious. The fact it’s such an important game makes no odds. Every game should be officiated the same. Our refs & PGMOL have no clue."

@WHUFC_News You’ve missed out the clear and obvious handball against Everton - that actually credited West Ham with more points than the correct decision cost West Ham yesterday
In the past week alone:
- Mavropanos disallowed goal at Brentford
- Kayode leg breaker on Mavropanos for first goal but no foul given
- Soucek rugby tackled. No pen
- Pablo wiped out by a player “slipping”. No pen
- Wilson disallowed goal despite at least three Arsenal players committing fouls
Get us the fuck out of this corrupt league. Cheating bastards @FA_PGMOL
@ludek_miklosko You think west ham have been relegated because of a var decision todsy. Give your head a wobble. They’ll be relegated due to not being good enough all season.
Did you shout up when Everton had a nailed on handball/penalty at West Ham recently?
I wouldn’t usually post a thread all about one decision in a 90 minute game of football, but today’s was so significant, and so outrageous, it has to be highlighted and discussed.
@WestHamPlace@premierleague@FA_PGMOL Agreed - Everton should have been awarded that pen at West Ham. Facts are - West Ham have been awful all season and deserve to go down . Deal with it
VAR was brought in under the cover of providing the correct decisions
The reality is that it only exists to allow the @premierleague and @FA_PGMOL to choose when they want to disallow goals in order to complete their narrative
It’s corrupt and it’s rotten to the core
@WestHam_Central Pablo isn’t a goalkeeper, of which refs treat differently. This isn’t new news? West Ham have just been really poor this season. End of. Not good enough
This angle...WOW
PABLO IS BEING MANHANDLED BY TWO ARSENAL PLAYERS AND LITERALLY LOSES BALANCE BECAUSE OF THIS
RICE DRAGS MAVROPANOS INTO THE GOAL AFTER TRYING TO BEAR HUG SUMMERVILLE
TODIBO IS RECEIVING WAIST LOVE
IT'S AN ABSOLUTE FARCE I WONT GET OVER
@WestHam_Central Every club gets calls from var they don’t agree with. Be pissed off with the standard of performance from the players over 36 games, not a refereeing decision that wasn’t even that controversial. See them disallowed every week. Thst today isn’t why West Ham are getting relegated
"We just watched it. You can see Dinos is getting pulled, Tomáš is getting pulled, and even Pablo before he apparently committed a foul is getting pulled around. I think you can give a foul but you need to do it every time. You need to give it throughout the season."
