The PGMOL is not fit for purpose:
❌ Consistent VAR controversies.
❌ Lack of referee accountability.
❌ Persistent inconsistencies in decisions across matches.
Until transparency and accountability improve.
@SamJDean Yeah - the Rice red, the Trossard red, the Saliba red, the Martinelli double yellow, the David Luiz red, the Xhaka red, the Tomiyasu red, the RVP red, the list goes on.
All similar - no precedent, and never seen again.
@NorthBankNadim "Never read anything written by a journalist about topics you understand deeply. You'll immediately see how shallow, error-prone, and agenda-driven their work can be—and it makes you wonder how credible they are on topics you're not an expert in."
Decisions against Arsenal feel like a test case for chaos: Martinelli's 2 yellows in one play, Luiz's penalty at Wolves, Brighton calls this season, Newcastle last year. Now PGMOL plants pundits to defend this mess. Making refs 'pro' only gave egos a stage. Enough is enough.
Man City should focus on settling into their rhythm, slowing down their buildup, and maintaining control. Once they reach the final third, they need to be decisive and ruthless, rather than overcomplicating their play.
It's such an injustice that we lost Timber for the entire season and more. What a player—so composed, and he always seems to have all the time in the world.
@Stillmanator I’ve reached the point where I mute or don’t even watch any show that features referees. The lack of transparency and endless defensiveness just turns me away even more. We need open, honest discussions—not constant protectionism.
@dukester_94 Absolutely! It’s frustrating how these decisions seem to pop up against Arsenal. Just like you mentioned, there are so many instances where the rules seem to be applied inconsistently. It’s high time for some clarity and consistency from the officials.

[9] I will not take from your house a bull or from your stalls a he-goat, [10] because every animal of the forest is mine, the cattle on a thousand hills. [11] I know every bird of the mountains, and every moving creature in the field is mine.

[1] God is our refuge and strength, a very sufficient help in troubles.

@santismagic Ultimately, there’s a need to maintain the perception that football is not corrupt. Additionally, there will be significant pressure from stakeholders who benefit from having City in the league, such as broadcasters, to resolve this matter quietly.
@santismagic In today's highly football environment, it’s inevitable that what City is accused of is not isolated; such activities may be widespread, as clubs constantly seek ways to gain an edge. Don't be surprised they get away with a penalty that's not even comparable to the charges.
