Message: [QUOTE="The True King, post: 3624295, member: 9651"] I would be hesitant to use PGMOL data to back anything up. Those guys have a vested interest in VAR and they were very much against it from the start. When they saw the tide turn it favour of it they started doing whatever was needed to manipulate oversight/monitoring to ensure they have as little accountability as possible. It's a win-win for them, if VAR stays in place they can demand more funding for the sheer volume of officials required in an average week of prem football (not to mention training, development etc). When decisions are wrong they just point to confusing communication, tech glitches (i.e 'we didn't have the right cameras') and protect their own by limiting our access to their decisions and justifications (note how they push ex-refs into the media to defend their calls). Meanwhile if VAR goes, then they can simply fall back on the game being subjective and everyone not wanting technology when the calls are wrong - it will just breed further incompetence and frustration.
