_________________________________________________________________________________#PremierLeague, being the most corrupt major football league, needs #VAR more than others.— FOOTBALL is FIXED (@footballisfixed) March 8, 2019
Yet the version being proposed by #PGMOB is illegal under #IFAB rules and will allow criminalised referees to continue fixing matches from VAR room ad finitum.https://t.co/oap3JWZmFf
Despite gaining a 1st Leg advantage through the incorrect use of VAR by PGMOB match officials, Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino still felt the need to go public with his opposition to the use of technology to prevent errors/matchfixing by officials and other externalised corruptions.
Let's look at referee bias in the Premier League.
Preliminary Note - each integer represents the equivalent of a penalty correctly given, given incorrectly, not given incorrectly or a significant sending off.
In the last four seasons, Spurs stand at +36 on our EPL NRLR Index - i.e. the London club received 36 more favourable and key refereeing decisions than were given against them. This is the most bias shown in favour of any team in that period.
If you are already getting that much support from the referees then why bring more public attention to it by the systemic abuses of VAR that are about to be launched when the PGMOB make their new corruption template more robust and more opaque to external scrutiny?
Over the last six seasons (and only including teams that have spent four or more of those seasons in the EPL) here are the most favoured and least favoured teams.
1. Leicester City +36 (5 seasons) +7.20 average
2. Tottenham Hotspur +33 (6) +5.50
3. Crystal Palace +24.5 (6) +4.08
4. Manchester United +18 (6) +3.00
5. Liverpool +10 (6) +1.67
15. West Bromwich Albion -14.5 (5) -2.90
16. Watford -16.5 (4) -4.13
17. Newcastle United -28.5 (5) -5.70
18. West Ham United -37 (6) -6.17
19. Arsenal -38 (6) -6.33
By fluke...
299 out of Gary Lineker's 340 English club games were with Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur and he remains an honorary vice-president of the Foxes.
By fluke...
Greg Clarke (chairman of the FA) was formerly chairman and director of Leicester City.
By fluke...
Martin Glenn (chief executive of FA) was previously a director at Leicester City.
By fluke...
One of the four people from the interview committee who have allowed a power vacuum in the EPL post-Scudamore is Leicester City chief executive Susan Whelan.
By fluke...
No other team has anywhere near this degree of backroom power - King Power.
By fluke...
Leicester City won the EPL in 2015/16 with the highest NRLR score ever recorded in one season in any major league going back over 25 years (+30).
By fluke...
There was no follow up to the Leicester City 15/16 doping allegations from the now-silenced Dr Mark Bonar, the links with Team Sky sports scientists and the MAPEI doping link (journalists are threatened if they mention this latter association, so we won't mention it then).
By fluke...
Being subject to regulatory capture, UK Anti Doping saw nothing wrong anywhere. Obviously.
By fluke...
The global betting infrastructure that had stood around Leicester City games throughout their Premier League tenure was entirely altered in the International Break just prior to the Vichai death. There has been a chaotic reconfiguring of the control of Leicester City games in the period since.
By fluke...
The six highest ranking football intelligence operatives in our network all consider that the death of Vichai was not an accident.
Football links itself to mafia via corruption of onfield operators and by association with the massively liquid global betting markets.
The current lack of VAR in the Premier League (and the soon to be unleashed version of VAR that is game theoried for systemic corruption) allows these bonds between mafia, betting markets, matchfixing and the sport to become stronger.
The beauty of football is being asset-stripped by global criminals.
A proper version of VAR needs to be introduced to set some limits on this psychopathy.

VAR will not reduce matchfixing without:— FOOTBALL is FIXED (@footballisfixed) January 27, 2018
1) managerial reviews of decisions (as in tennis & cricket) &
2) referee & VAR on open microphone so we can hear how the decision is reached (as in rugby & cricket).
Otherwise it is a scam - an attempt to validate the corruption.#LIVWBA
Version of #VAR being tested by #PGMOB is illegal under #IFAB rules as no access to pitchside monitor for ref.— FOOTBALL is FIXED (@footballisfixed) January 7, 2019
Officials like Moss will be able to control outcomes (and betting markets) from the VAR room after retirement overruling ref & assistants.
This is primed for corruption. https://t.co/9XuOcZ9yRy
Moss has links to agents & professional gamblers who, in turn, are linked to mafia.— FOOTBALL is FIXED (@footballisfixed) January 7, 2019
If you want English football to be entirely criminalised then this version of #VAR put forward by Mike Riley & the #PGMOB (total control by VAR ref and no open mike) will achieve this aim.

The problem lies with officials & the #PGMOB, not the technology.#VAR works everywhere else.#TOTCHE
The lack of #VAR is seeing a major increase in corruption (rogue refs, players & doping) in the #PremierLeague.— FOOTBALL is FIXED (@footballisfixed) December 9, 2018
Authorities are working with insiders and bookies to entirely control multi-billion pound global betting markets.
STOP BETTING ON EPL.

#WorldCupRussia2018 was successful partly because of the professional use of #VAR which not only marginalized referee errors but also markedly reduced insider trading & matchfixing.— FOOTBALL is FIXED (@footballisfixed) August 11, 2018
Now the #EPL is back with mafia control, rogue refs, no VAR, cornered markets & systemic fixing.
"#VAR has reduced result-changing [referee] errors from one in every 3 games to one in every 20 games [in #SerieA]" - Paddy Agnew (@PaddyAgnew) World Soccer Magazine.— FOOTBALL is FIXED (@footballisfixed) April 28, 2018
In #EPL, we have no VAR...
... just a referee on £2K per week officiating on £5 billion global betting markets.
In 12 years of #FootballisFixed blog, no team has suffered negative referee bias as much as #Arsenal— FOOTBALL is FIXED (@footballisfixed) April 21, 2018
A key input to Arsene Wenger deciding to leave #Arsenal was #EPL decision not to implement #VAR as, via the voting method, criminalised entities can ensure VAR will never arrive

4 things that we've learned from #WorldCup2018:— FOOTBALL is FIXED (@footballisfixed) June 30, 2018
i) #VAR works very well when there are no English referees involved.
2) Russia, despite western media fake rants, is not Dante's Inferno.
3) The World Cup is far less fixed under Infantino than Blatter.
4) Nobody misses Alan Green.
We've been shown the voting by #PremierLeague clubs on #VAR.— FOOTBALL is FIXED (@footballisfixed) April 16, 2018
Clubs that voted against implementation are ones that have benefited most from ref bias e.g. #ManUtd, #CPFC, #StokeCity, #Chelsea, while those voting in favour are teams who encounter most corruption eg #Arsenal & #MCFC
Graham Poll: ""#ManCity have been victims of poor refereeing decisions in 3 consecutive games which have defined their season... After the run of poor decisions Pep has suffered I could understand his frustration boiling over. City weren't the same without him on the touchline."— FOOTBALL is FIXED (@footballisfixed) April 11, 2018
From next season, only two major competitions in Europe won't be using #VAR - #ChampionsLeague and #PremierLeague.— FOOTBALL is FIXED (@footballisfixed) April 11, 2018
Given the mugging of #ManCity by Brych, Lahoz and Atkinson in their last three games, it is evident that these are the leagues that are most in need of technology.
#VAR works— FOOTBALL is FIXED (@footballisfixed) February 17, 2018
BT Sport and some people involved in matchfixing don't want it to work preferring the referee to maintain absolute power for their activities in the global betting markets.
VAR stands between football and total mafia control.

The #StokeCity chairman Peter Coates is apparently "going off" #VAR.— FOOTBALL is FIXED (@footballisfixed) March 1, 2018
Not a surprise as Mr Coates is a bookmaker.
Bookies want as much power as possible vested in the match referee.#EPL refs earn a couple of grand per wk officiating on games with billion pound betting volume. https://t.co/vsizDkz14I
Steve Parish, the #CPFC owner, has stated that he'll vote against #VAR when the #PremierLeague clubs decide on the technology.— FOOTBALL is FIXED (@footballisfixed) March 1, 2018
No wonder!
Since Roy Hodgson took over Palace have had 7 penalties for & 2 against with 2 opposing players being red-carded too.
For Hodgson a legacy!
