S102E19: I Mean America Is Very Good At Festivalising Sporting Events - Trevor Gear Invents A New Word

This is a Sports Talkshow and a Podcast mainly Focusing on the beautiful game of Football This is the Season 102 of The Football Referee with dRem TGI (Emmy Hikins), and Trevor Gear on Deepstuff TV and Deepstuff Radio of Deepstuff records. All Episodes conducted by Legendary Singer-Songwriter and Musician Trevor Gear and TV and Radio presenter Emmy Hikins (dRem TGI) and also a Singer-Songwriter and a music producer of Deepstuff records LTD,  And an Avid football pundit Tony Gusani also a Manchester United fan In This Season Of The Football Referee Podcast we discuss: VAR in Football The group discussed VAR (Video Assistant Referee) in football, focusing on its potential benefits and issues. Tony shared examples of incorrect VAR decisions affecting tournament outcomes, particularly mentioning India's World Cup qualification being impacted by a disputed goal line call. Trevor agreed that while most referee decisions are correct, there should be a fallback system for extreme cases where catastrophic mistakes occur, such as replaying games in situations where teams are relegated or miss major tournaments due to clear errors. The discussion concluded with Emmy noting discrepancies in penalty awards between famous players like Ronaldo and Messi in World Cups, which Tony attributed to potential corruption by FIFA.  World Cup Halftime Show Discussion The group discussed the World Cup's new halftime show featuring Madonna, Shakira, and BTS performing at the final for the first time in history. Tony criticized this as American propaganda and paid advertising, while Trevor defended it as appropriate festivalization that could engage families. They also discussed Atletico Madrid's statement about a 150 million euro offer for Julian Alvarez from Real Madrid, with Tony explaining Atletico's strong protective stance toward their players due to historical recruitment by Real Madrid.  Player Transfers Between Rival Clubs The group discussed player transfers between rival clubs, particularly focusing on Manchester United and Manchester City players moving between the teams. Tony and Trevor shared examples of players like Dennis Law and Peter Schmeichel making such transfers, explaining that while it can be difficult for fans when players switch to rival teams, it ultimately comes down to the player's career choices. Trevor also shared a specific example of Glenn Murray, who successfully played for both Crystal Palace and Brighton without facing significant fan backlash. The conversation concluded with Emmy mentioning a young Mexican player Gilberto Mora who signed a contract with Club Tijuana, though there was confusion about his age during the discussion.  Messi Retirement and Football Predictions The group discussed Lionel Messi's career and potential retirement, with Tony suggesting Messi doesn't need to prove anything having already won everything in football. They reviewed predictions from a Brazilian psychic who identified several top contenders including England and France but excluded Croatia, though the participants were skeptical of such predictions. The conversation concluded with discussion about Alexander Arnold's potential return to Liverpool, which Tony and Trevor both considered unlikely due to the negative terms of his previous departure to Real Madrid Premier League Team Transfer Discussions The group discussed several football topics, including Liverpool's transfer situation with the departure of Ibrahim Kanate and potential return of Trent Alexander Reynolds. They analyzed Liverpool's challenges with their new manager and player acquisitions, noting the team's need for defensive reinforcement. The discussion also covered Manchester United's goalkeeper situation, with Tony explaining they are trying to bring back a Czech goalkeeper on loan rather than making new signings. Regarding Tottenham, Trevor expressed optimism about their prospects under new manager Ange De Zerbi, predicting they could surprise and finish in the top six, despite recent struggles with injuries and player departures.
