  1. Chelsea aren’t going to get a penalty today no matter what happens - they’ll probably get an apology or two from PGMOL later though because Darren England is basically wearing light blue today and is wildly biased.

    Just awful.

  2. Well, going off the officiating in the first 5 minutes, this is going to be an easy win for City because Chelsea aren’t going to be allowed anywhere near City’s box without them blowing up for some imagined offence.

  3. Also Szoboszlai has committed at least 3 yellow card fouls and kicked the ball away after the whistle (which Watkins got booked for in the first half, mind) without any punishment. The commentary is amazed that he hasn't been booked yet.

    There's a reason people call them "LiVARpool"...

  8. Even Carragher and Slot are sick of Mac Allister's falling on the floor whenever anyone goes near him.

    Makes it much more gratifying that Villa have taken them to the absolute cleaners tonight.

  13. If West Ham’s equaliser gets knocked off by VAR, we know for sure there’s an agenda because Arsenal have scored countless goals this season by fouling the keeper much more than Pablo just did on Raya. Hell, many teams have conceded similar goals this season without intervention.

    Oh, and there we go, PGMOL corruption lands in Arsenal’s favour yet again. Blatant and obvious thumbing the scales.

  18. Sunderland player elbows Fernandes in the face and … nothing. Clear violent conduct but no red card and no VAR intervention. Attwell remains undefeated in his absolute slop bag of officiating incompetence.

    These officials and PGMOL could not be more blatantly biased against United if they were wearing City or Liverpool shirts on the field. Absolute corruption.

    #Football #SportsBall #EPL #SUNMUN

  19. It will surprise no-one to learn that Stuart Attwell is continuing to be an absolute melted fish of a referee when involved in a United match. The day he retires or is forced out for his continued incompetence cannot come soon enough.

    #Football #SportsBall #EPL #SUNMUN

  20. Liverpool are again being given an easy ride by the officials. Countless fouls being ignored whilst everything by Chelsea is immediately penalised. Such blatant bias. PGMOL needs sacking and rebuilding from the ground up because this season has been absolutely soggy biscuits for officiating.

    #Football #SportsBall #EPL #LIVCHE

  21. I feel confidant that Mariner’s rookie Hoppe gives himself pep talks in the mirror and doggoneit it’s gonna work!

    #mariners #sportsball #baseball

  22. Obviously would help if United’s half-time snack wasn’t a handful of Mogadon per player.

    But then again, Gravenberch just obviously dived and got a free kick instead of a yellow card. Scales have tipped towards wilful corruption.

    #Football #SportsBall #EPL #MUNLIV

  23. Case in point - Shaw, nowhere near Frimpong, who kicks Shaw’s leg and dives which results in a Liverpool free kick and Shaw getting a yellow. Absolute nonsense. Either shameful incompetence or wilful corruption. Neither is a good look for PGMOL.

    #Football #SportsBall #EPL #MUNLIV

  24. The officials are, if not outright biased, at least leaning towards being easy on Liverpool - several of their players should already be on yellow (Konate in particular for pushing Šeško into the hoardings) and there’s just weird stuff like a United player being hauled down in front of the assistant and them giving offside for a different player who was only offside because the ball bounced free of the foul committed by the Liverpool player!

    PGMOL is not fit for purpose.

    #Football #SportsBall #EPL #MUNLIV #PGMOL

  25. “VAR is Stuart Attwell”

    OH NO.

    But for once he hasn’t made a hash of a decision. Thank the lord!

    #Football #SportsBall #EPL #MUNLIV

  26. Welp, I guess the #ChicagoBears are going all in on offense this year. I liked our day 1 pick, not who I expected, but a good one. I even agree with grabbing a center day 2. However, I don’t see the need to go TE and reach deep for a WR on the back half of day 2 when we have such glaring holes on defense still. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    This is why I’m a fan and not in #SportsBall operations

  27. Oh PGMOL. Gabriel and Haaland both commit offences in the same incident that have seen plenty of players sent off this season.

    Obviously they got yellow cards and no further action. OBVIOUSLY.

  32. “And to bring the metaphor to life, the Arsenal manager lit a fire at the training ground while delivering his rousing speech to his players.”

    Good lord, that team is doomed.

  33. Instead of leaving for Indiana, Da Bears should move to Kenosha, home of the Haribo Gummy Bears.

    Plenty of room for a stadium where that Foxconnjob plant never got built.

  34. Please can we just have one weekend without a supposedly professional referee making such a blatant error that even the most incompetent of Sunday League part-time dads suffering from a fourteen tequila hangover wouldn't have made?

    Today we get: Spurs player kicks Sunderland player's foot and falls over, ref gives a penalty, VAR says "WTF are you smoking, you idiot?" and send him to the little screen where, eventually, he makes the correct decision and cancels the penalty. But that's 2-3 minutes wasted on something that should never even have been considered a penalty in the first place. Absolute dross.

    Also who had 28th minute in the "Romero Yellow Card Pool"? You've won the giant gummy bear.

  35. Another portentous football Saturday: every team that got points today (highlighted) scored 2 goals.

    • Arsenal 1 - 2 Bournemouth
    • Brentford 2 - 2 Everton
    • Burnley 0 - 2 Brighton
    • Liverpool 2 - 0 Fulham

    Not the first time it’s happened, sadly, and IIRC not even the most interesting. If only that bogus penalty hadn’t been given to Arsenal…

    #Football #SportsBall #EPL

  36. Just more wildly corrupt officiating from PGMOL to try and help Arsenal to a title. No way that’s given as a penalty for any other team. Absolute mockery.

  37. So is F1 going to pretend they can still have the races in Abi Dhabi and Qatar ?

  38. “It’s not [City’s] fault that [the cheating charge thing] has been going on so long.”

    I mean, 35 of the 115 charges are specifically related to blocking and hampering the initial investigation…

    #Football #SportsBall #EPL #MCI #115

  39. (Of course, Attwell has form for this after giving an incorrect foul - noted as completely incorrect by the EPL incident panel - in January which denied United the win. Is he just incompetent again or is he taking some revenge after being called out by the panel as being incompetent? Either way, WTF PGMOL?)

    #Football #SportsBall #EPL #BOUMUN

  40. I stand corrected - he’s decided to send Maguire off for an Evanilson dive after much less contact than on Cunha and not even a fraction of the wrestling and pushing that took Amad down.

    You cannot watch this game and come to the conclusion that these are fair decisions made with a coherent understanding of the rules. It’s just corruption, plain and simple.

  43. Honestly one of the most shamefully thumb-on-the-scale decisions I’ve seen since, well, ok, the last Liverpool or Arsenal match but you get the idea.

    Absolutely disgraceful cheating from the match officials.

    #Football #SportsBall #EPL #BOUMUN #PGMOL

  44. If the simple pull on Cunha is a penalty, the push, trip, and wrestle to the ground on Amad must also be a penalty because it was far more egregious.

    But not according to VAR. WTF PGMOL? And they've scored from that foul.

  45. South Korea have scored. 1-3 in favour of Japan now

    Edit: Another one for Japan. God save the Tillies #WAC2026 #sportsball #Matildas

  46. TADA.

    “Earlier this month the KMI Panel voted 4:1 that Chelsea should have been awarded a penalty against the Gunners for handball by Declan Rice.”

    Also from the same article,

    “It is the third time this season Arsenal have wrongly escaped a VAR penalty in a game they have won by one goal.”

    Well, maybe it’s been balanced out in the other direction…?

    “The Gunners have had no VAR mistakes against them.”

    GOSH.

    (Maybe this is the actual EPL penalty for City’s years of financial cheating - the humiliation of having to come second behind one of the worst teams to be gifted the league by thumb-on-the-scales officiating.)
