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.
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.
The constant discussion about VAR is just one of the reasons I despise it as a concept. I miss football.
