  Gina Hough (@hough_and_stuff) reported 27 seconds ago from New Alresford, England

  Still no internet. Off since Monday. Hugely adverse effect on my business. @SkyHelpTeam palming the blame off on @OpenreachHelp and apparently not able to tell me when it will be fixed or why it’s taking so long. I’d never get away with such appalling service with my clients.

  Have to say I’m really disappointed with the new #skyq hardware New tv box is slow and unresponsive and the new router constantly dropping WiFi Any ideas @SkyHelpTeam

  Chris Dossett (@Chrisdossett11) reported 16 minutes ago from Basingstoke, England

  @SkyHelpTeam I’ve got some strong views on the value of my subscription. Multiplied by the fact I’m the very unhappy receiver of a subscription increase for the same shite service. I want a call

  Gina Hough (@hough_and_stuff) reported 17 minutes ago from New Alresford, England

  So, tell me @OpenreachHelp - where is the engineer who promised he’d be back on Monday to complete the fix on my internet issue. And then switched to Thursday. And still not done? @SkyHelpTeam apparently can’t call your contact centre as it’s closed.

  @SkyHelpTeam I’ve just had to spend £33 on extra data for kids phones to do homework due to constant broadband dropping due to outages. This is week three!!! Thanks Sky, maybe you should be shouting at BT open reach to fix the problem so we can work at home #frustrated

  Gina Hough (@hough_and_stuff) reported 31 minutes ago from New Alresford, England

  And yet - as I keep saying repeatedly to @OpenreachHelp - @SkyHelpTeam cannot get in touch with them to find out WTF is going on because all their contact centres are closed. Meanwhile I’m stuck here waiting for nearly two weeks for a working internet connection.

  Gina Hough (@hough_and_stuff) reported 34 minutes ago from New Alresford, England

  @SkyHelpTeam So, here I am with my Internet still not working properly almost 2 weeks after I first reported the issue. It’s a ridiculous state of affairs and I’ve wasted so much time sitting on the phone waiting to get through to your help centre.

  @SkyHelpTeam Morning! Can you see if there's issues in the GU10 area please? Dropped connection about 15 mins ago and connection diagnosis can't find a resolution. Thanks.

  Matthew Ripton (@matthew_ripton) reported 41 minutes ago from Basingstoke, England

  @SkyHelpTeam I’m speaking with sky technical most days, they cannot tell me when it will be fixed. However after one month of broken broadband I can leave my contract with sky. That’s really not helpful ! I expect the service fixed.

  @SkySports Horrible tackle although Da Silva is not a ***** player but was Hojberg wearing any shin pads?

  Why don’t sky treat their existing customers well ?? Why only offers for new ones. What a waste of time to close account and then rejoin. Sort yourselves out. @SkyHelpTeam #badservice

  @SkyHelpTeam Really poor signal over last few weeks in GU35. Weather hasn’t been terrible and should get a really quick WiFi backup to stop this happening. Whats going on?

  @SkyUK Finally. Does SkyStream support 4k? Can I get rid of the silly boxes and just use my Smart TVs apps or my Xbox/a PlayStation?

  **** I feel old.. Watching skysports news and they’re talking about Adriano as if he was playing 50 years ago. The boy had the potential to be remembered as one of the best we seen but sadly didn’t live up to it. But let’s no talk as if he was linking up with Pele fs.

  VAR RECCURING ERRORS: “WHO IS AT FAULT? THE TECHNOLOGY OR PGMOL OFFICIALS?”. I think to unpack this debacle that we have come to normalized as natural occurrence similar to daily human mistakes, errors by PGMOL officials as seen in almost all game week in the EPL, VAR is simply defined as “Video Assisted Referee”. To break this further, it is officiating a football match using technology i.e video replays, images etc to spot obvious and clear errors committed by the on-field human officials usually 4 personnel or actions sanctioned by the rules as fouls that were completely missed by the on-field officials. For VAR to be effective and not seen as in direct conflict or undermining the authorities of the on-field referees, certain parameters of the game state were defined as areas VAR can intervene like DOGSCO, dangerous play, incidents in the penalty box, violent conducts by players and these activities were categorized into 4 major areas i.e goals (and the attacking phase leading to them), penalties (awarded or missed), direct red cards, and mistaken identity. Now that we have defined VAR and clarified the intended use of VAR, how is it possible that a technology deployed to spot clear and obvious errors made by on-field officials somehow end up with recurring errors that lead to controversies, major talking points post-match every week and in most cases deciding the outcome of football matches? I am Arsenal fan so let’s use Arsenal specific VAR incidents as an example. 3 seasons ago at Newcastle, 3 separate incidents and VAR were unable to spot any. One of the incidents was if the ball had crossed the line. Subjective as at that time because VAR had no camera at the corner flag and no spider camera to confirm if the entire ball had crossed the line. Fast track to this season and at Nottingham Forest, a defender clearly used his hand to control the ball from going into corner kick. There was a camera at the corner, and we all saw that deliberate handball. Juxtaposing both incidents, VAR error at Newcastle had been effectively addressed with a camera at the corner at Nottingham Forest but yet outcome was the same. Arsenal this season at Brighton, Arsenal player deliberately holding a Brighton player in the box during an attacking play missed by the referee but no VAR intervention. At Mancity, an Arsenal player engaging in a violent act but was issued a yellow card instead of a red card. Both actions had no VAR error but officials’ wrong interpretation of the Rules and wrong decision. Typically, most OEMs and other manufacturers usually issue a warning and a recall of their products once that notice significant factory defect or recurring manufacturing errors to their products and such products are withdrawn within weeks, months or sometimes within a year. Before doing this, the OEM go through a process of investigation to determine the root cause, issue a notice to their customers and users and proceed to a remedy phase where repairs and replacements are undertaken. The question now is if VAR (technology) is the problem, who are the OEM of EPL VAR and why have no one asked the OEM to undertake this process of stopping this recurring errors? How come none of the media platforms in the UK ever done any kind of hit piece, editorial or investigative journalism on the recurring errors of the technology? Rather, we have an independent panel that review VAR errors, we have a Skysports PGMOL show where the Head of PGMOL do a review of the VAR errors weekly as well as other controversial officiating decisions, we have another Skysports show where ex-referee do a review of VAR good or bad calls, Talksports have similar radio shows, Ex-Referees have podcasts and Youtube Channels talking about VAR errors and we have media platforms doing annual reports like the one done by BBC, The Athletic and now ESPN doing VAR errors and impact on clubs, title races and relegation battles.

  @tbfl141 @SkySports I imagine it is, and that’s a problem. But they would say walking off isn’t the correct response but reporting it to the referee is.
