PGMOL

Submitted by mcbikeman on

What is the point of this organisation when all they seem to do is apologise for officials mistakes instead of training them better so they do not.

1..linesman 2 yards away ref with clear view of Brewsters dangerous tackle and after the players get handbags out a yellow card produced which VAR rightfully said no its a Red so why did the ref not deal with it properly.

2..Sheff utd penalty......apparently elbowing the keeper makes it a penalty and VAR said yeah no problem with that!

3..Bowen rugby tackled or WWE slammed to floor his arm comes up ball hits it oh thats handball free kick to Sheff UTD and VAR did not even question it.

That is just a few of the issues from our game but it goes on at everygame and nothing ever seems to be done to try and cut down on this.

If you speak out you get fined or banned so managers do not say anything on TV for fear of that but how weak and paranoid must the PGMOL and the Premier League be if they do not allow criticism to be heard.

PGMOL is not fit for purpose...professional refs and linesman paid a good wage and yet time and again they seem paralysed with fear making the "big" decisions that they are paid to make whether it is on the pitch or in the bloody VAR studio.

These decisions have consequences for clubs at the top and bottom of the league but shush now you cannot mention it...and so tomorrow the usual "i don't know why he made that decision" when its clear its a penalty a red cardhe got it wrng we apologise etc and so it goes on to next weekend when more of the same will come about no doubt.

Champions League

Submitted by mcbikeman on

5th place gets you a champions league spot this season(probably a play off)The club Lorded the move to the BOM so we can compete in the transfer market and go for champions league football.

So here we are 6 points behind the spuds and gooners and a game in hand on the spuds and yet we have so far failed to strengthen the side which will be needed in the coming months dues to injuries and Europe.

If the club truly believe in what they have often said then it is now they have to produce...Chelski/manure/barcodes now with the money all having poor seasons so this may be the only chance we get to play in such an iconic competition and yet here we are dragging our feet.

Reports have said that we do not have to worry about FFP as we are well within the boundary so what is the problem? and with Moyes taking an age to bed players in the chance could slip through our fingers......for once West Ham do not let this dream fade and die COYI

FFP and all that jazz

Pundits experts everyone pulling there hair out over the deplorable way Everton and now Forest are being treated by the Premier league and they are being persecuted needlessly.

Utter Utter Rubbish they are being punished for breaking rules which all 20 premier league clubs signed up to and agreed to abide to. If the punishment was a fine and a warning would we be hearing about this would it be such a drama? of course not but because the punishment has been a large points deduction they are all pulling there hair out over it and this proves that it is a better way to punish than a fine which is pocket change for clubs in the Premier league.

Now the argument is that the rules are out of date and that the £105million bar that you must not go over in a three year period is way to low in todays market and whilst that is a valid point it does not change the fact that again every club in the league had to sign up to the current rules and not one seems to have raised this argument before but now the reality of points being deducted is here this argument being used.

What about Citeh what about Chelski is another smokescreen being used but again while i agree feet have been dragged over these clubs being punished it has been said that these are different to the laws that Everton&Forest have been charged under and again without doubt the very best legal representation teams like that can afford i think all the i's and t's being dotted and crossed checked and checked again before those cases are heard.

So to summarise i have know problem with the punishment being dealt out if it is shown that clubs are not following the rules that they have all agreed on and that the punishment must be harsh to hammer home the point to those who may think they can hide and financial Shenanigans

another transfer circus

Submitted by mcbikeman on

Nine days in and West Ham admit that the three man committee of Sullivan Steiden Moyes have yet to make any decisions on who they are looking to recruit but admit more loans than permanent as "January" is always a difficult window.

Antonio out for another 6 weeks they are saying...Kudus away Pacman and Bowen nothing being said how bad there injuries are or are not alongside Mavrapanos the perfect storm is arriving and at the wrong time for a manager who only plays his favourites and anyone else he just leaves on the bench until he is forced to use them.

Chickens have come home to roost now for the club and there transfer policy which has left us with a wafer thin squad who have a lot of talented youngsters who the manager does not want to blood and players who the manager wants out of the club and will not use unless forced to do so...and that is the situation we now have.

Once again the Club on the verge of doing something special will shoot themselves in the foot the team will slide down to midtable and come the summer Pacman will be off and Kudus and Bowen not far behind and Alvarez to leaving the club with Soucek Zouma and Ogbonna to excite the fans....

Happy new year everyone:-)

freetickets for today's game

Submitted by Louis Nixon on

Due to the fact that the Ed was in intensive care over Chritmas and the New Year, it has been decided he CANNOT under any circumstances attend games for one month, hence any member of the Org wishing to attend today's FA Cup game should log in and apply. We have a pair of tickets to give away. First come first served basis only!
Happy belated Christmas and New Year from Ed and the boys. - Ed

Antonio injured again

Submitted by mcbikeman on

Kudus away for the AFCON tournament dont worry The beast is back and will fill the gap...well no surprise he is injured again and now its a choice of Ings and Mubama to fill in...

This Summer a lot of money is going to be needed to deal with the problem areas in the squad...RB LB CB CF and i do not foresee that happening and i feel like a couple of seasons ago we are going to pay for Moyes flogging the same players to death and from a promising position we will fall away.

Oddbod to West Ham

Submitted by mcbikeman on

Can see why Moyes wants him(the new Dawson he thinks)and why he would fit in...as we don't play a high line defensively he is perfect for Moyesball to sit and snuff out trouble at the back alongside whoever! but Spuds West Ham transfer dealings are as rare as 1 year contract at chelski.....Paul Allen only one i can rmbr....think Zamora was at Brighton when we got him and Hughton was on a free but not sure about that....anyway Levy will want silly money for a player Ange does not want and lets face it as clubs we do not get on so i cannot see it happen then again Sol went to the gooners all those years back so you never no.

Aguerd

Got to ask what is this all about and where did it all stem from? because suddenly he looks like the player that's leaving and for me that has come out of the blue so i have to ask has he asked for a transfer? or have the Saudi league got an interest and the club think good money to be had here? or has he fallen out with Moyes?

It is a mystery to me as to what has happened here so hopefully someone can cast some light on the issue.
