So we have refs, VAR, and multiple panels that don’t seem to ever agree? How about we go back to just refs and make this a game again? And ffs stop arguing with and putting down refs. It’s gotten out of hand.
The state of officiating and the oversight it has for the best league in the world, is atrocious.
Are Wolves the most screwed-over team in the league this year? They did not get an obvious penalty when Onana assaulted their player in the box, and now gave up a penalty that wasn’t - with both cases costing them points. I don’t really care about them one way or another as a team, but I hope they stay up just because it would suck to be relegated with this kind of ref incompetence as the cause.
There’s also the Newcastle penalty and the Luton penalty
This is such an unsatisfying way to consume football, with every ruling analyzed so forensically. Used to be 1. there wasn’t tremendous camera work to be able to replay decisions and 2. a culture of “just get on with it.” I miss that.
a culture of “just get on with it.”
No there wasn’t. This is a complete romanticisation. The reason VAR was brought in the first place was because of complaints over refereeing decisions. People had been calling for it for years
pgmol just trying to see how much shit they can get away with it
The main issue with this is that it’s the *exact* same mistake twice in a week. There are no learnings, no improvement, and no changes. They tie themselves in knots to support on-field decisions at the cost of making the wrong decision. All it does is take away what little trust and respect the referees had before.
I want VAR to work because it has the potential for good in the game. As it is, the implementation has meant no one has a clue what the handball rule is, and the only consistency is that VAR gets something glaringly wrong every single week.
Something has to change, and soon.
This was such a massive, brutal mistake, with zero opportunity for Wolves to recover. Horrible to watch.
No one has borne the brunt of ref / VAR mistakes like Wolves across multiple seasons now, and no other club even comes close. Anyone frustrated with the state of refereeing etc. should be talking about Wolves.
PGMOL sends our apology letters before the matches, and we open them after each match. It’s a great system.
Good process
Wolves gotta come out with a statement or something. They’ve been shafted the most this season it seems.
Oh god you’re not even being sarcastic are you
A statement is silly to make when instead you could just privately tell them off.
No worries lads, take care and see you next week x
I’ve got to feel for Wolves as you’re the only team this season we’ve had a favourable decision against.
Imagine that this was a “big 6 team”. The outrage would be 24/7. I don’t know how wolves fans haven’t lost their minds
We have. You should see our subreddit lol
Dont get the point of these post match analysis. Might as well get these people in the VAR room to get the immediate correct decisions. Post match clarification means fuck all
Cheers for the 3 points PGMOL xoxoxoxo
Most teams in the league have been fucked by VAR…but I feel for Wolves. They have been on the end in some farcical decisions.
Newcastle and city have both benefitted heavily from ref decisions this season.
Funny that. Absolutely nothing to do with who pays the refs though
City lost a game because of ref decisions. But nobody knows that cuz we don’t go complaining all around.
only major decision that went against us this year was against Wolves ironically
That’s 6 incorrect decisions in 11 of our games, all of which have gone against us.
But don’t worry guys, the decisions always even themselves out :)
The return fixture of Man Utd v Wolves in January going to be crazy game potentially
That’s unbelievable. I thought Arsenal was hard done but this is next level. It’s simply unacceptable and I am surprised you guys haven’t file an official complaint against the PGMOL
The refs are acknowledging their mistakes in your matches???
Where’s the apology though
