They had the chance to bury this embarrassing incident but chose this instead. Pay the fine and move on. Whole thing is incredibly petty.
We need to get back to the days when the officials did it for free and were therefore not expected to know anything about the Laws of the game, the rules or even indeed, football in general. The days when even an unashamed disdain and contempt for the game and all who played it was considered a healthy, desired advantage.Quote:

And that only leads to being branded whingers and singled out for more 'letter of the law' stuff.Quote:

Not fit for purpose and should be abolished.
Where headmasters, coppers, and prison officers just did it on the weekend for a few extra bob and to get away from the wife?Quote:

More than anything else, we have seen in the last year or two that it isn't var that is the problem. It's the people operating it.
A sort of, US air traffic control but with balls instead of planes, so to speak ?Quote:
