PGMOL underwent a rebranding in the summer to Pro Ref. Do you still allow your referees to moonlight as match officials in nation states such as the UAE? #LFC

the officiating in that Manchester Derby was unacceptable. I don't believe Foden should of been sent off, the build up in Halands goal Enzo Fernandes is attempting to play the ball, and 5 Minutes added on with 3 VAR Checks and the ball consistently out is a joke!

City's goal decision proves those in charge of VAR are incompetent or moronic The offside rule is clear, Fernandez interfered = no goal. You're not fit for purpose. P.s 5 mins extra time - you're a bunch of clowns

Diabolical to have a PGMOL culture so rotten; this sort of thing happens... but worse, the people who partake in these games are brazen enough to brag about it. This is worse than incompetence; it's a total failure of governance.

Any chance you could get back to not trying to be the main character in a "game" between 2 teams, and allow the result be decided by their abilities rather than your bias?

I’d suggest until this shambles of an organisation is held to account for its failures, those on the pathway choose a different route! No matter how you brand it, the issues, errors and pallying up to the Premier League will remain!

Why is var even getting involved in a correct decision that has no clear an obvious errors in the first place . Why is var dictating games cancelling good goals and finding reason to allow illegal goals ..just watch arsenal games last season and this it's an absolute joke

Considering what retired refs have revealed what they did during games, what are you doing to prevent such things from happening again, such as "wanted to see how long I could go before I blew the whistle 😙"

Should new @prorefofficial @PGMOL_FA @FA Rule be introduced by @premierleague if it’s proven that clear match effecting result error has been made the match must be replayed with fixture date confirmed during cup & European later stages league positions cannot be decided by VAR errors this must be stopped !!!
