Well, he doesn’t have any control below the premier league so if you did get promoted, you would be straight down asap!

This is a quote from Michael Oliver from a few years ago. I’m not sure if the same rules apply at the moment but you can see why Nottingham Forest were able to raise questions about the allegiance of the VAR official.
"I never referee Newcastle games. We have to declare if we have an allegiance to any club or if a family member works at a club. You can’t do any match involving that team and I can’t do Sunderland, either, for obvious reasons.
"Because Newcastle are invariably involved in a relegation battle, when you get to March or April, it means I can’t referee anyone around them towards the bottom three.
"If Newcastle needed a point to survive and the team they were fighting to get above was say Villa, I couldn’t referee Villa’s game either. I wouldn’t want to. It’s not worth the hassle."

They haven’t plucked it out of thin air. I believe refs have to declare their club allegiance (not all do though) so they don’t ref those games.
There has been times when refs arent allowed to ref games due to club allegiance or due to circumstance of supporting a club.
Mike Dean wasn’t allowed to ref Liverpool games even though he a Tranmere Rovers supporter, but is from the wider Liverpool area.
This was from a website talking about ref club allegiance
Michael Oliver - Newcastle
Michael Oliver, Premier League, referee,
From Ashington in Northumberland, Oliver is a Newcastle United fan and jokes that "every decision against Newcastle is a bad one".
bolded textHe is not allowed to referee Newcastle or Sunderland games and will not be allowed to take charge of any games towards the end of the campaign involving any of NUFC’s relegation rivals.bolded text -
Yes, I saw that he had some form in the Greek league.
Forest raised the objection of having the VAR involved as he was a known Luton fan. (All refs are meant to declare their allegiances) it was ignored and then they were fucked over by him (in their eyes).
They believe they have been routinely fucked over all season (have only been awarded one penalty) so this seems like the straw that broke the camels back.
There is huge dissatisfaction with Var and how it is run by the PGMOL.
There is no accountability or jeopardy for refs in the PGMOL apart from a week reffing in a lower league. VAR was meant to stop wrong decisions that were clear and obvious but is normally the most controversial part of football, making poor and baffling decisions every week.
They are gaslighting fans with their take on decisions, not using the laws of the game, supporting their fellow ref colleagues on decisions and it’s brought the integrity of the league into question. It’s an absolute shambles.
-
There is so much wrong with VAR and the control of it from the PGMOL that the whole thing needs binning and created again.
The fact that Forest feel they have to release that statement and not through proper channels shows there is little faith in the organisation.

What have you seen of Taylor so far?
Vai’i shouldn’t even be in the squad, let alone starting

@KiwiPie m
It’s been approved for use next season -
There doesn’t really seem any evidence that he is all about HIS legacy is there?
Just a bold statement from a poster withouhht anything to back it up

Tinfoil hat update:
Chelsea are denied the most obvious penalty against, yes you guessed it, Man City because the ref and Var didn’t want to follow the rule book.
The same ref has now given city 4 very favourable decision this year after he was invited to be a guest ref (and be paid handsomely for it) in the UAE league. Yes, you guessed it, the league that is owned by Man City owners.

Bookmarked for ridicule in a couple of months

When you add it to his Warratahs record, it is dreadful reading.

There really seems to be very little interest in attending rugby games below international level in NZ.
-
It’s only been 5 times in 8 years that a league 1 (or lower) side has forced a replay.
-
Oh ok, thanks
I thought he was sitting out the whole of super rugby!Hence my last sentence!
-
Why would Taylor start against England.
His first match in 9 months is a test match against England?
WTF?
-
No, just didn’t think it would be that big at some club in the 2nd tier with 8000 capacity.
Gate receipts are shared in the FA cup between both teams, after expenses.
I enjoy the replays as much as anyone but it does feel a bit antiquated now, especially when the ‘magic’ of the FA cup seems long gone.
If Parry is smart he will use this to kick up a stink, get an independent regulator back on the table again and use this to get the deal he is trying to do with the PL.

You are over exaggerating the impact on a one off televised tie. The broadcasting fee is £144k before tax. It’s welcome revenue of course but ain’t setting anyone up for 3-4 years.
Although, non league Maidstone got to the 5th round and earned £700k before tax from broadcasting and prize money.
That will set up a non league club for a couple of years I would have thought👍
-
Unfortunately, the big 6 (actually I don’t think city are that much of a draw) are the draw for all the broadcasting rights.
As it is, the season is an overcrowded mess with multiple clubs having their worst injury crises ever and in some periods , having to play up to 8 games a month in the process.
If you want to see the danger for a club trying to break into CL places artificially. Click on the link above around Everton. They are in financial dire straits. And Everton are big club.
The hope for the footballing pyramid is
that the deal they are trying to agree will be a consistent increase in revenue sharing that can be distributed down all of the clubs, which was a bargaining chip when it came to scrapping replays. I won’t hold my breath on that if I was in the 4th tier.Yes it does take away some of the romance of the FA Cup but realistically, how many clubs actually manage to get replays with a big side? Very few.
-
Yeah, it was a poor miss from Salah, I think it actually comes off his shin.
Feels like we are seeing the last moments of a Liverpool legend with Salah at the moment.
Atalanta are a pretty good side
Liverpool not really creating much.

Back in the day Liverpool x3, Nottingham forest x2 and Aston Villa x1, won it over 6 consecutive seasons between 76-82
