Corruption. You’re asking for it when you allow gambling in sports.
This is going to be a controversial game. Caicedo gets away with a 2nd yellow after 2 back to back foul’s worthy of a yellow, then an arguably soft pen gets given to Chelsea
Brain dead decision
It would void everything that was achieved during the relevant periods. Financial doping is what it is, doping. If you cheated to win in a sport, you didn’t win, and you may as well have not played at all.
It’s a case by case basis, depends on the player and the circumstances at the time but what tends to be mutual and consistent is that we wish whoever makes the switch nothing but the worst (at club level).
Christ, it’s like people just throw this out to virtue signal. YES we all know how notoriously hard sexual assault cases are to prove and prosecute, but you can’t use that to smear everyone that is accused. You have no idea how many of those 97% of cases were true, and you can’t prove a negative. We can’t operate a society where you are guilty until proven innocent, as admittedly broken as the system is.
The eyes of the footballing world will be on this. The Premier League better not fuck this up and effectively legitimise financial doping after FFP rules were introduced.
I believe this anti-VAR narrative is coming from groups interested in a return to the days of rampant bullshit decisions, and you can all speculate as to why that would be something that anyone would be want.
The fact is that we get more decisions right because of VAR, and should be working to improve the process in order to lessen the negative impacts it is having, which are still better than the negative impacts that wrong decisions have on the sport.
There will still be a lack of consistency between and even during games, so this will just add yet another layer of ambiguity and controversy.
Oh great, another tool for the ref’s to dictate the flow/results of games. At a time when fans want less subjective decisions determining the outcomes of games the powers that be want to introduce more. All we need is semi-automatic offsides and an improved VAR process.
So give the ref’s another tool to dictate the flow/outcome of games. What could go wrong.
Release it to who? A sanctioned individual? And you sure as hell can’t just take the money without turning the heads of all the other billionaires who use London as a laundrette.
Christ, yea lets make sure to bring in people who have long and deeply ingrained biases, that’ll improve things.
Son needs another Son to pair with
