Were they fixing the match in our favour today when they ignored Forest's three penalty shouts ?

Is it possible that rather than have an elaborate match-fixing system in place which would require most likely hundreds of people to be in on it) that they are just a bit incompetent combined with the tech/rules needing serious tweaking and clarification?

This is true. But I think there is also a subconscious bias rather than a conspiracy going on. At the end of the day, possibly more than anything, it needs binning off for slowing the game down and ruining great moments when it's too close to call

If we’re playing anyone else but Forest today those pens are probably given against us. They want a last day relegation battle and despite their best attempts we’ve looked like having enough to pull away from Luton. Putting Forest into the mire means it will carry on until at least the last few fixtures. It worked in our favour today but I can guarantee you if we do the exact same things in the next game it’s three pens for Liverpool as there’s a title race to fix to the last day.

It’s about matchfixing plain and simple. Wind that film a nano second earlier and the Coventry player is onside the moment the pass is played. There’s a reason it takes them minutes to make these decisions and you can’t see or hear what they’re doing. They find the angle and picture they want to, draw the line they want, then issue it as the truth.

I’d argue if you wound the film a nano second earlier the offside would have been far clearer. In real time you could see the Coventry player was ahead of the play in the build up, if wan bissaka had been just a tiny bit quicker getting back the Coventry player would have been onside

Look at the body positions of the two players. There is simply no advantage to the attacker, and these lines tell us nothing. Photo finishes in Olympic sprinting need elongated images and multiple drawn lines from the perfect angle to judge gaps. This technology is both inadequate and over-zealous.
