    I honestly hope the Spuds get fucked up the ass by Luton or at least get bodily harm next game. I absolutely think it’s fixed at this point just for the sake of optics. Honestly, it ain’t right. It’s not done thing in the words of Bluey’s Dad. The entire VAR staff should be let go, you got one FUCKING job to watch the fucking game and you switch off and didn’t register WHAT decision was made on the pitch? Piss off…

    And in other news, I love our squad. The lads are so supportive of each other and that’s something the organization has done right.

      The statement PGMOL put out made me laugh. What do they mean VAR didn’t review it? That’s literally their job? Did they go “oh yeah the linesman’s got this one let’s go smoke up?”

        The level of incompetence (and the harboring of) the PGMOL is just laughably criminal at this point. There’s absolutely no accountability (very English btw), empty apologies, and just sheer fuck ups like normal. Like what do you mean you thought they called it a goal on the pitch, were you not watching or were you too busy wanking???

          Genuinely makes you think that the PGMOL is full-on corrupt. At three points in the match yesterday I said the words “match fixing” under my breath in disbelief. Why in the fuck are there so many limitations on VAR? There is the easy answer of “because refs are Godlike beings who are never wrong”, but I think the answer “because someone somewhere needed a way to throw matches in a certain direction without any public blowback” is looking tastier by the day.
