Match Fixing

[AndyC]

Just heard from a RS that Kavanagh and all his family are staunch City fans. If so, how is he allowed to be involved in a city game. Only a rumour, so don't shoot the messenger.

He isn't.
No idea about his family but he isn't a City fan.

What is he then mate

What is he then mate

As I've posted in the thread about Chris Kavanagh, a former and highly respected referee that I know personally used to assess Kavanagh when he was officiating in lower league (Sat/Sun) footie and he assures me that Kavanagh has no allegiance to either Manchester club, and actually supports a lower league club in Yorkshire who his Grandad used to play for.

Yeah right.
Well after yesterday's performance he should still be officiating in the lower leagues.

And I'm not arguing that for heavens sake... I'm merely advising that he's neither a City or United fan.

I’m sure that sounds like Anthony Taylor…

Must be in the Manchester refereeing waters that stops them supporting the big teams

To be fair mate you're really only getting it from someone, like I did, as Davek said who probably would say that.

No mate, with respect the guy who told me this is someone I've known for over 20 years and is a former referee and referee assessor.

Every league in Europe has had high profile instances of corruption and match fixing, except in England. Maybe we're just more honest in this country?











Or it is just covered up here.

The way that Chelsea keeper missed his pen, it could be looked at as a deliberate miss.

Just saying ?

 

[klingklang]

Isn't it strange that virtually every Premiership referee all support a lower league team. ? Yeah right !!!!

I strongly suspect the product that is Premier league must promoted at any opportunity for entertainment purposes. With them game in hand and to play city then with us the longest serving team in the top flight embroiled in the relegation dog fight media can keep pushing out the headlines of excitement and selling EPL product. Believe its great Lampard and Cole have called it out, undermines the faux integrity the EPL espouses out and we are now a club that wont toe the line...

What I find strange is why refs from the Greater Manchester area get given games that involve teams from Manchester, Mike Dean should not be doing any games involving Merseyside teams as well.

They could be family/friend influence and unwanted pressure going into those games that skews their performances and thinking seeing things clearly without bias.

Tierney and Kavanagh seems to be a defacto combination Mike Riley goes with, remember the penalty City got when the ball hit the side of the Wolves player, Kavanagh never saw it, Tierney deemed it a penalty on VAR even though it never touched any part of the arm on every angle.

Spurs game recently that Tierney reffed and Kavanagh did VAR, game of bizarre decisions, Kane with a challenge high with studs no where near the ball, VAR cleared it, player clearly taken down in the eyeline of Tierney yards away, goes to VAR, Kavanagh says no, doesn't even recommend Tierney to watch that penalty incident or the Kane studs high, just like the Penalty last night,that was a game that impacted City without playing, Two point swing for them.

Kavanagh did VAR In the Newcastle City game Ederson wiped out a Player, stonewall penalty and Kavanagh deems it a non penalty and goal kick,city win the game 1-0.

Kavanagh ( Ashton Under Lyme) Tierney (Wigan) are both from Greater Manchester and are always involved together coincidentally in games that impact City in any way.

Some Tweets last night when the penalty incident was trending that Kavanagh's younger brother in Stalybridge is a season ticket holder at City, if it's true then he shouldn't be doing City games.

I can’t believe you didn’t offer an example whereby the RS got the benefit of VAR. Honestly I’m shocked.
