Performance so far descending into a complete joke - no control over the game whatsoever. Sels and Murrillo v Sheffield United!

I’m going to the citeh game. Can’t see why we can grab a point though Nuno stands in the way of that unfortunately.
what a shocking appointment
I think he stands alongside Megson and Platt as abysmal managers of our beloved club.

We could do with a first half like against Fulham, but then repeat in second half. Enjoy the game, and for those who would like to see us back in championship, these are the games young supporters will remember for years to come, seeing world class players on the City Ground Pitch.

Is there a ulterior motive behind the PGMOL picking a Nottinghamshire born referee to be in charge of the next Luton game, or are they completely stupid, they see the controversy caused by the Atwell appointment, so why do a similar thing again, it has to put unnecessary pressure on the referee, which ever way he makes a decision, he'll be seen as being wrong. It would be so much easier to just put someone with no affiliation to any club or league standing in charge of the games, or am I missing something here. Or could it be that the PGMOL are just being bloody minded and sticking two fingers up at Forest and every other club and supporters, saying we will do it our way, stuff you lot.

There is a lot of truth in the worry that the pgmol or the prem is corrupt. But to be corrupt it has to have layers of colluding, devious individuals ALL working together. I can't see that myself. They're all too thick and self indulgent to corordinate such a devious ploy. However the one thing that can be easily open to manipulation is VAR. here is the easiest way to have total influence on the outcome of matches. Players are censured for gambling on football, why? When officials sat in a box playing computer games can use their opinion to decide how a football match concludes. Think about it, if they decide to disallow a goal no one can challenge them. VAR must be abolished to reinstate the integrity of football. Bring back the instant euphoria of goals. Football is fast becoming an arena for pundits, commentators and referees, eg Dermot Gallagher wtf is that numpty all about. The fans are of no consequence to the industry that is football. Oh it's ok to hike the prices to the true followers but wallow in the hundreds of millions whored in by the real influencers of our game ALL MEDIA organisations who have a vested interest in results! It's morally bust. To illustrate beyond our grievance at the weekend, take the Coventry comeback of the century on Sunday.
Those immortal words, the death knell of of our game OH THERE TAKING A LOOK, so you know that some party does not want that goal to stand. They have cart Blanche to over rule the most sensational story unfolding, by simply drawing a line and claiming by the finest of margins that an offside occurred. It's impossible to prove but we are suckered into accepting this miniscual intervention which has nothing to do with real time football. It was the same back in 2019 cup final when Chelsea equalised just passion killer for the real fans.
So VAR is just another opinion we allowed to be called fact. Is it open to corruption? Only an idiot would say no. Without VAR most refs and Lino's get it right and if they don't it's an honest mistake, who doesn't make mistakes.?
Are Forest right to be putting in a challenge. Totally. Without Var a ref would have given Forest at least one penalty purely on the balance of play. The first statement the club made was dreadful and I said as much. But when you look deeper and analyse the history this season then you cannot help but think are we as a club and football being well served by Var? It's got be a resounding NO.

Excellent post Rutland. I too believe that governments and people in power are not clever enough to cover up conspiracy for ever. But it’s certainly a great defence in law to say “I didn’t see it, or can’t recollect it or can’t remember “. So it’s corruption by omission rather than action.
When you think about it it’s as rare as rocking horse 💩for us to even get a VAR review FOR us never mind a good outcome.

Stokey the problem of refereeing by video pictures does not clarify very much. You rarely see contact that would define an incident. It confuses out of me. The one thing for sure and is a fact is that both challenges on Saturday were from behind., therefore the chances of getting the ball cleanly are negligible, making the onfield decision easy, you would have thought. The 3rd pen claim saw the Forest player totally wiped out. For VAR not to get involved indicates incompetence or another agenda. I’m just watching the podcast with Birtles and Fletcher and both are on the money, Birtles even citing the Coventry pen and the margins we accept through VAR. abolish it now and get the fans back on side. And wtf does a do these days except be a punchbag for coaches where it used to be the Lino.

Impressive post Rutland. There has been some stunning posts on the sites recently. Shame about the subject matter though. Resolution? I wonder. How can all parties come out smiling from this?
