“The level of corruption just keeps rising!” — Former PGMOL Chief Slams ‘Shocking’ VAR Decision in Manchester United Storm
The Premier League has been thrown into chaos after a former head of PGMOL delivered an explosive and deeply critical assessment of VAR following the re-examination of a controversial Manchester United incident that has since gone viral across the global football community.
His assessment was blunt, furious, and impossible to ignore.
In his words, the decision was nothing less than disgraceful — and supporters across the country are now raging.
What began as a standard league match has quickly transformed into one of the most heated officiating controversies of the season.
Confidence in VAR is now hanging by a thread, with frustration boiling over among fans, pundits, and former officials alike.
“We Can’t Keep Pretending This Is Acceptable” — Brutal Words From a Former Insider
After reviewing the incident again, the ex-refereeing chief offered a damning verdict that sent shockwaves through football circles:
“The level of corruption just keeps increasing. How can people continue to trust VAR when it repeatedly fails to do the right thing? We cannot keep going like this.”
Coming from someone who once oversaw English refereeing at the highest level, those words carry serious weight. For many supporters, it felt like confirmation of long-held suspicions — that the system designed to bring fairness is instead creating chaos.
According to him, the decision involving Manchester United wasn’t simply a marginal error or a debatable call.
It was humiliating.
He went on to describe the incident as a perfect example of everything currently wrong with VAR, highlighting several major flaws:
• A complete lack of technical accuracy
• Inconsistent application of the Laws of the Game
• Poor communication between VAR officials and on-field referees
• Technology being misused rather than applied to clear and obvious errors
• Human judgement overriding common sense
Most worrying of all, he warned that the Premier League is now facing a serious credibility problem — one that could permanently damage trust in the competition if left unresolved.
Supporters Outraged: “This Is Daylight Robbery”
The reaction from fans was immediate and ferocious. As clips of the incident circulated online, social media platforms erupted with anger, slow-motion replays, reaction videos, and heated debates.
In multiple fan polls conducted shortly after the comments emerged, nearly 90% of respondents labelled the decision an “absolute robbery.”
Messages flooding timelines included:
“How many times will United suffer because of officiating errors?”
“VAR is destroying the soul of football.”
“This league is becoming painful to watch.”
“There has to be consequences.”
For Manchester United supporters, the frustration runs even deeper. Many feel this incident is just the latest addition to a growing list of controversial calls that have gone against their club at decisive moments.
And the central question remains unanswered:
How can officials still get decisions so wrong — even with multiple camera angles and advanced technology?
Is the System Breaking Down?
The former PGMOL chief insisted that this controversy is about far more than one game or one decision. In his view, VAR has become a system plagued by confusion and inconsistency.
He accused officials of overthinking simple situations, ignoring obvious visual evidence, and applying rules differently from one match to the next.
Even worse, he suggested that poor communication between match officials and VAR rooms is making matters worse, not better.
Above all, he issued a stark warning: supporters are losing faith — and once trust disappears, restoring it becomes nearly impossible.
His final message was clear and unsettling.
If these issues continue, the Premier League risks becoming a competition where results are shaped more by officiating mistakes than by footballing quality on the pitch.
“The Premier League Is in Serious Trouble”
This has now grown beyond a routine refereeing debate.
It has become a full-blown crisis of credibility.
When former officials begin using words like “corruption” and “diabolical,” alarm bells should be ringing loudly within Premier League offices.
Supporters are no longer interested in apologies or carefully worded statements.
They want transparency.
They want accountability.
And above all, they want fairness.
