How do fans of the Premier League feel with all the audio release coming this week from the PGMOL? I like the transparency, but I don’t love a PGMOL show that is a self-congratulatory exercise. Will the PGMOL ever blatantly say they messed up, probably not. Just a lot of, “here’s why we were right”. Something about it just feels gross.

It’s great. People want transparency and they get it and people still complain. They admit when decisions should have been different (like the red cards in the Newcastle Arsenal game) and they go through the whole process the follow and explain the controversial ones.
It’s a really good step forward.
There shouldn’t need to be a show to explain their decisions. It shouldn’t need to exist.
Agree but unfortunately a certain manager and fan base brought the game into disrepute
Lmao. It is genuinely hilarious you think Arsenal is that influential and I’m a supporter.
It’s good. We get to see the process and they admit when they were wrong. It can’t be self congratulatory if they admit to their mistakes. Some people just enjoy complaining.
It’s good, but blatant propaganda. And I just wish there wasn’t the need to have a 30 minute show breaking down all the VAR decisions from the week
I think it might be interesting if we see things get better over the season, and the presence of a show like this might help drive improvements. The VAR audio for the Newcastle goal at Arsenal was already much less chaotic than the one at Liverpool (although can still improve).
It would be great if we weren’t talking about VAR so much that a half hour show was even considered though.
It’s clear that they cherry pick the incidents to review. What’s the criteria for them reviewing just 1 or 2 incidents and ignore the other 20 from that weekend? It’s highly suspect.
Owen doesn’t challenge Webb atall, he may aswell not even be there. Waste of air. It really feels like its a propaganda piece.
They spent a while going over the audio for decisions they get right, whilst also at the same time do not show the audio on the incidents that they themselves admit they got wrong!! Like wtf? All we want is transparency, but they’re just trying to defend and shield referees and officials after shoddy calls.
Could not agree more!
Its like politics, constantly gaslighting us to appease us
Damn if they do damn if they dont
Propaganda. They’re a major issue in the game and it needs to be accepted before it can be addressed.
Horrible and will only get worse. Howard is a well known liar whose whole career is now being held up by his lie that he did not see the karate kick in The world cup final.
He goes on with Patsy’s who never asks him questions. And soon you will see that he speaks so definitely about something. One week and the next week he says the complete opposite.
All of us American sports fans know that Howard uses the media to get his message out. Like you did with the late great grant wall. His referee had one explanation of handball. Then the next referee had a third. Then the rough organization had an example and then Howard. Sent out the message to the media himself be a text message. He made up the law lock stock and barrel From absolutely whole cloth.
He was never challenged so he uses the media. Now he Only we’ll go on with Michael Owen. A man with a fifth grade education. Who will not challenge him? It will not ask him. How is that different than last week when you said the complete opposite.
I predict Howard to stop going on by februas. He will be lambasted in the media
Typical Sky crap…
Literal propaganda.
Watch at your own peril.
Remember when the measure of a good ref was forgetting they existed? The fact that we even have this, shows just how much VAR has ruined the game
I’d like to live in a world where we dont talk about them. If they do their jobs correctly then further conversations will not be required.
