I wouldn't swap Raya for any other keeper in world football.

James thinks Michael Oliver is a really good ref?! After all the howlers he's had in favour of City over the years?

Spot on James…VAR equals proving ref right, not a neutral assessment…it is the roots of the overall issues…

It was John Brooks back in 2013 who was then an assistant referee for the Arsenal Vs Manchester city game, told the City players to go over and thank their supporters for the effort and cost of attending the Emirates. He was stood down by the FA from his next game. There was a lot of talk at the time over away fans paying £62 for a ticket some city fans had boycotted the match and 900 tickets were returned. Clearly John Brooks likes to play to the media.

Webb needs to slam the hammer and sack/suspend VAR officials who make major incorrect decisions.

And thats why i said the ref was taking orders from someone, look how long he took to give that 2nd yellow to the player who fouled Saka in the box, 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮

We need something like tennis has, that you can force review on certain things, like the coach team can ask for the ref to go to the screen

Meslier. Salmon, MLS, Timber, Hincapie. Zubi, Merino, Dowman. Madueke, Eze, Gyokeres.

Give timber an hour before giving Konsa a run out.

We're playing a Premier League team . We can't make too many changes and become too complacent about the Ipswich game. They've got six points so are no push overs. Especially considering that we're playing away from home.

The Big Gabi yellow was a cop out - an outlet embarked by John CROOKS so as not to have to send off Xhaka for a second bookable offense after his argy-bargy with Konsa. He let both go and opted to book Gabi as an alibi for keeping the game in check. Such an idiot.

It's not a process deficit. They don't know their own rules

One of the 3 things need to happen if VAR is to get better.

1. Have boxing style 3 independent ref sitting in separate rooms to give their verdict on such issues, by pressing a button which lights up a Red or green light in stadium. Majority decision is impemented.

2. Allow captain of each team to challange ref and VAR decision 2 times in each game, like they do in cricket. If they win, they keep their challange otherwise loose it.

3. Allow such bad decision to be reversed after the game. It will mean changing the result of the match if necessary.

17:09 United scored a goal that should’ve been deemed offside vs City in 2023 involving Rashford and Bruno

Pro Ref never apologise, they acknowledge the error. It's like shitting yourself and saying you've shit yourself. It's not an apology. I'm frankly sick of it.
