@ardunnage @henrywinter Already done that by not spelling my name right despite knowing me for how many years ?

Decisions, decisions. Amad Diallo was a penalty. That gets given as a free-kick anywhere else on the pitch. It’s even more a penalty than the Matheus Cunha penalty (which was a pen, however “soft”). Amad was just less theatrical. Penalty not given. Wrong decision. Harry Maguire was a penalty and red card. DOGSO. Penalty and red card given. Correct decision.
Understandable debate over the decisions and inevitable frustration for Manchester United. But United have benefited from decisions that go their way this season. All clubs have these issues, examples, frustrations. The main issue here is …
1) General standard of officiating in the Premier League. Amad decision was poor. Even more investment required in grass-roots refereeing, in fast-tracking talent, in training up academy graduates who don’t make it as pros, and in continued work to improve further the Select Group refs. PL has some good officials. Just need more.
2) Football belongs to fans, not officials. Fans deserve to know what is going on in real time. When decision/incident being discussed by officials, audio should be played live. The authorities don’t want to, feel it places too much pressure on officials so content themselves with brief explanation when announcing decision and clarification on PL Match Centre. Fans in the stadium and tuning in pay a lot for tickets and subscriptions, respectively, and shouldn’t be kept in the dark.
Audio works well in rugby union and cricket (and acknowledging those sports have more pauses in play). l went to a VAR demonstration (not PL) earlier this week given by an elite official. Hearing the audio between officials gave insight into the process - and respect for what they are dealing with at speed, especially with players trying to con them.
You are never going to get complete consistency over decisions. There’s always going to be an element of subjectivity with so many incidents. But fans deserve more transparency and accountability. It might restore some trust. #BOUMUN

@CTYFCChairman @henrywinter 18 which have been acknowledged via the KMI panel, taking the subjective argument out of it. I have an answer for your second question but I’ll only offend you 😂

@ardunnage @henrywinter Wrong ? Most are subjective and vary on who you support. There lays an issue. However you fail to address my point of why players don't become officials.
English

@CTYFCChairman @henrywinter In this case Barry, VAR is there for this exact reason. To help referees when they make the wrong decision. How a professional referee watching a replays still can’t make the correct decisions is beyond me. Something like 18 incorrect ones on review this season alone

@henrywinter Some interesting points a lot I agree with and plenty I dont. Why dont footballers become officials ? I think we know why in reality but people within football will never admit it. Until football cleans up its act it will not change

@charlieoakley It says for the full season, would I get a refund when you inevitably move clubs after 2 months?

I don’t care who your driver is, or what you think about F1, but:
If after this season you don’t understand and acknowledge that cars win championships, not drivers, you’re unable to actually engage in authentic and grounded conversations about the sport.
It’s always been this way, and it always will be this way. In modern F1, a championship has never been won without the best (or equal best) car over a season, and likewise the championship has never been lost by a driver in one of the best cars. It’s come close a time or two, but it’s never actually happened. Does that not tell you all you need to know?
And in no way whatsoever does this belittle drivers or their accomplishments, they have to do the job of beating their teammate and rivals when they’re given the opportunity.
You must understand that F1 is an engineering competition with drivers, not the other way around. 🏆
Thanks for coming to my TED talk. 🤝
