90% of fans are with forest, 98% of pundits are against them.

Who does Neville think he is telling a man he should quit his job?

Nowadays Neville and Carragher are just establishment gatekeepers.

The PGMOL should be sued! These errors are not simply “honest” mistakes. They are negligent systemic issues coupled with total resistance to accountability.

It's obvious these pundits are controlled, as they are all singing the same tune. When you think of all the terrible decisions, aided by VAR, this season it beggars belief.

Neville and Carra are a pair of flat out bedwetters.

Funny how Neville has never said Carragher should quit after spitting on kids and stealing their phones.

Neville is ruining football in this country by having a platform to spew out utter bullshit week in week out.

We should protest against the PGMOL

I agree neville and carragher are becoming a joke. Both are spineless

Surely Man city owners paying premier league referees to work in the middle East is a conflict of interest and should be looked at! Even if it's not corrupt it doesn't look good. Especially considering Michael Olivers performances this season,

Does anyone really think the most wealthy league in the world wouldn't be vulnerable to straight up corruption? In any other line of work, a decision-maker would not be allowed to have a conflict of interest relationship with someone they're supposed to be regulating (i.e. Michael Oliver and the UAE)

LFC fan here, stand with Forest. Good to see another club make a statement rather than just accept it. Neville was on ‘LFC’s side’ after the Spurs debacle.. until we dared put out a statement so his reaction to this isn’t a shock. Football pundits are more worried about losing jobs and money, pathetic really. Fair play to Goldbridge for continuing to be an exception.

Neville should be removed from all public platforms

VAR out and Micheal Oliver out

Listening to Jermaine Jenas telling me the Grealish handball wasn’t handball was the nail in the coffin for mainstream punditry for me. It was like listening to someone telling me black was white!!!

They were a disgrace. Simple as that. There is a sinister thing going on in English football. It's corrupt.

It shows how respected Mark is when as a Liverpool fan, I'd rather listen to him than a Liverpool pundit on tv

Sad that Neville and Carra sold out to the establishment. That sweet sweet money can change anyone

Mark we as a community and fans need to get our voices heard over these crap journalists. The var and refereeing this weekend has been absolutely disgraceful. It needs to go

As a Liverpool fan I don’t mind goldbridge one bit says it how it is better than any pundit about at the minute

Sky and its pundits are an absolute joke

VAR is ruined football this season. You can't enjoy a game anymore

Carragher exposed his real self when he spat at people real low life thing to do for a man his age.

VAR is basically like legal match fixing. They've created a way to match fix technically legally. It's as if their trying to control the league in terms of keeping it close at all parts of the table, fighting for the title or europe or relegation battles to keep it exciting right until the last game so in turn more people watch more games. Viewing figures = money. I don't know but there's definitely something dodgy going on.

Why don’t pundits EVER criticize a bad call. Who are they scared of?

Micheal oliver was 4th official at liverpool game v spurs listening to VAR saying they got it wrong...where is his seniorority there...

Well done mark these frauds need exposing

As a Liverpool fan I want Everton to stay up but I am against corruption and forrest were robbed and for Gary and Jamie to say the refs are in not in the wrong or blameless that speaks volumes.

Can’t stand either of them. Both say anything to protect their jobs. It’s so clear that the PGMOL/Premier League have mentioned something to media - Sky in particular - to not highlight appalling refereeing. Probably under the guise of anti bullying or something. Last season and at the start of this season, the pundits all throughout the media - particularly Sky - were slamming the refereeing. Then suddenly they started changing their opinions from anger to apathy. Disgusting.

Props to Saha for speaking up for fans on the coverage, he probably wont be invited back...

Neville is the same as Lineker and Aluko all three know they’re untouchable and therefore get away with talking absolute garbage every week.

Pundits like Carragher and Neville hate the ordinary football fan.

Shine a light on the PGMOL.

Bloody hell thanks to the notification I thought Neville actually came on the podcast

Rigged for a man city win for years

If youre telling me fully fledged international players cant see a 3-0 lead out without two 19 years olds?? Thats not a eth problem thats a player problem

Clubs have been getting stuffed 4 years with refs an now var shameful

Var was brought in to stop all the mistakes but it has become worse

I cant believe organisations like wolves, LFC, Forest etc... dont sue the lot of them. Whats the point of having a"competition" if it isnt?

Stuart Attwell awarded Reading the infamous ghost goal against, Watford. Who are Watfords rivals? Luton Town. And suddenly when Luton Town are in a relegation battle, 3 clear and obvious errors are blatantly ignored against their biggest relegation rivals. And I’m supposed to believe that it’s simply a coincidence and an accident? That’s twice (as far as I know) that Stuart has made a decision that benefits Luton or is at the very least against their rivals, and while that may not seem like a lot, for someone that is a Luton fan, it shows clear and obvious bias.

THe way VAR is used is a joke! the rules changes every week.. nobody knows the rules anymore lol anarchy!

Mark, I’m an Everton fan and even I am in total support of what Forest are doing. All the pundits are just sheep following Neville and Carragher (who are a disgrace). VAR should be called out, I too question their integrity. How could those pens against us but be given?

the coventry disallowed goal is not so cut and dry Mark.. the lines are clearly drawn wrong, when you zoom in you can clearly see the ''Defender line'' goes over Wanbisaka's foot, aka it's not actually at the tip of his foot and it's hard to see where his foot ends because of the lines, furthermore the image is not stopped when the ball leaves the passing players foot, it's stopped slightly before first contact, so he might or might not actually be offside, but one things is sure the image used is not evidence for either.

Neville has got way above his station. He has an opinion on everything these days, and in his eyes he can never be wrong.

52:45 To bolster Marks point even further, it's not like the relegation battle is close due to the quality of Luton, it's only really close because of point deductions. It probably wouldn't have even been that entertaining throughout the season if Forest and Everton weren't deducted points.

Mark Liverpool fan here ur prob the best one of these football talk shows say it the way it is even if it's against ur own team a lot of other channels should take a leaf out of ur book mate

Neville talks a lot about integrity but his went out the window once he decided to commentate on the WC in Qatar

Solution: 1) separate the referees from the VAR officials 2) SIGNIFICANTLY raise referee salaries. Tripling them would be a good start to attract more and higher quality individuals. 3) Add a second on field assistant referee for more perspectives 4) improve the turnaround on decisions to

All the football pundits spew out the same tired old garbage as they want to protect their lucrative positions.

Mark Goldbridge is the new Alan Partridge.

How many times as oliver give city a break 5 or 6 this season

Talksport/Sky/PL/PGMOL as a collective, they have their overall agenda. Short of boycotting matches and ending subscriptions, there is nothing we can do about it.

Neville and Carragher probably have small pps

Poor Pep and the amount of games they have had to play. Good thing they are out of the Champions League and can focus on the rest of their games.

Consider the types of businesses and investors the clubs, the FA & the UK establishment in general are involved with & ask your questions with that in mind. Everyone ignoring the elephant in the living room.

There is so much money involved in the premier league that it's naive to think there isn't corruption in some form in the premier league. At the end of the day the premier league is a brand and is now all about the show rather than fairness and consistency.

Var is not the problem! if anything it has helped highlight the corruption that has gone on for years.

What happens if they refuse to pay the fine? Can they say we're not paying it.... Take us to court and we'll have it out there!!!

Football is beyond saving at this point. Too many corporations involved

Mark your’e spot on. I support NFFC.

Will "your the media now " 😂😂 Spot on.

There should actually be protests out side of the big games saying VAR OUUUUUTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!! We should stand up for our game fight back against this dictatorship WHOS WITH ME!!

Between pundits and pgmol I'm done, fans need to come.together, enough is enough, their gaslighted us into accepting atrocious or corrupt refereeing. Fans unite this isn't about 1 club, it's every club.

Finally, the voice of reason! Give it to them Mark!

The only word to describe Carragher and Neville is spineless

Does this happen in rugby? Absolutely not. Also if you’re talking about respect for officials, rugby players call every referee Sir. Take a leaf PGMOL if you want respect

99% are with Forest, Liverpool and anyone else bar 115 who don't get on the wrong end of this crap with VAR / PGMOL

All fine the Prem League punishing Forest for their mistakes and deducting points, then Forest should be able to complain when it feels unjustly treated.

mark with the city point ur failing to point out that in the reverse city liverpool fixture at the etihad where it was clearly not a foul on alisson yet the goal was given city don’t beat liverpool i don’t think it’s fair to just accuse them of it when it’s clearly a league wide problem (just to clarify im not a city fan)

Love these podcasts. Great place to keep up to date with everything football but in a fun way. Keep it up lads

Reference Rashford, the question should not be 'why is he so bad this season' its 'why is he getting picked based on his performances'.

If you need to understand what's wrong, just look at the raw facts. Three terrible decisions go against Forest. Forest complain. Carragher and Neville, speaking for SKY and the punditry as a whole immediately the identify the problem as being that Forest complained. This must be stamped out they said, and they weren't talking about the nonsense way VAR is being appiled, they were talking about the clubs trying to defend themselves. I'm also reminded of last year when Andy Robertson got into trouble for (checks notes) being assaulted by the linesman...

Great, great show guys. I love that quiz format and questions, well done Niall. PGMOL in the bin!!!!

Fair play Mark fight the good fight

If the VAR would have forgotten to draw the lines for Coventry like they did in the Arsenal game.. literally no one would have complained. THAT would be an appropriate use of VAR 😂

We just need someone at Sky to leak the emails, Neville, Carragher etc got after the Spurs/Liverpool game, they have all been pro PGMOL since then

Well said Mark. As a Villa fan we've had our fair share of poor decisions, before and after VAR. At least now the cheating is legitimised by video

We as fans have a fundamental misunderstand of what VAR is intended to do. As fans we think it should drive consistency and accuracy but that is clearly not the case. It is solely there to protect the referees. I’ve read/listen many of the articles by experts that explain all the var decisions (mainly because they are laughably amusing) and in them they all clearly give away what is happening. The driving force of VAR is “clear and obvious error.” This is solely there to give PGMOL and VAR enough wiggle room to back the on field decision even if incorrect. Until the that provision is removed, nothing will change. And here’s a novel idea, have the referees explain their decisions post match. At least it will give accountability.

It can only be one of two things,corruption or incompetence both are unexeceptable .The good news is both can be corrected .

LET'S SAVE FOOTBALL! OF THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE

Well said guys, we need to have more of these difficult discussions surrounding corruption

Thoughts on going back on your comment a couple days ago with “be careful what you wish for” as Moyes has had a masterclass against palace, with a staggering 3-6-6 record in 2024 I think we have a higher ceiling than that with better recruitment and a new manager

VAR is not the problem any more than referring is a problem. The problem is the quality of the officiating and the people who adjudicate the events. If not for VAR we would not see these errors and they will get swept under the carpet, if anything, VAR is evidencing how poor our officials are. How many errors can you guys remember from the World Cup or the Champions League?

They love that VAR suppresses goal celebrations. Can't have the plebs getting too excited, we might get out of control.

The city var comparison was spot on, that was a brilliant moment

No difference with the Government

"Absolute Power corrupts, absolutely."

“They” will come after you bro 👊 batten down the hatches and remember that I the fan down the pub stands with you 👻

The PGMOL care more about their PR than the very thing they're supposed to be officiating and protecting. If they put as much effort into improving their officiating as they do putting out their pathetic shows, the mistakes would disappear in an instant.

Thanks Mark for backing us NFFC

In the United States, our leagues say that Replay has to prove something beyond a reasonable doubt. So if a goal is scored on the field they need the replay to be so obviously offsides that it will be called offsides. If the offsides looks iffy in replay, they can’t take off a goal because they still have a reasonable doubt. In this instance, Manchester United would have lost their game in the FA Cup the other day

Mark, you might actually end up saving football.

if liverpool lose the title with 2 points they will sue because of the Tottenham game. And I agree.

As RFK Jr put it: “nobody ever escaped tyranny by conforming”

Antony who didn’t even take a pen cupped his ears to Coventry fans. So embarrassed he is Man U player .please ship him out asap

When ball tracking was brought into International Cricket, India did not trust the technology so any game involving them did not use it, this continued until they were convinced the tech worked. It's at the point where clubs need to be given the option to opt out of VARs use. Only use it at games where both teams agree to it.

Completely agree with the refs egos - why are on-field refs saying 'no no no' with absolute certainty? They should be humble enough to say - 'I don't there's contact' or 'I he gets the ball'. In rugby, refs are so much better! Can you imagine Michael Oliver saying to VAR: 'Can you just check he gets the ball'? I certainly can't...

As a United fan I was well pleased when Neville started on Sky but now not so. He’s just like the rest taking his pay from the masters

Paul Tierney and the VAR... why wasn't Max Kilman sent off for a reckless and violent potential leg-breaker on Kai Havertz? Answer: Wolves have suffered so much from dodgy decisions this season that they decided to even things up. Two wrongs don't make a right.
