Beyond clueless, think they have mistaken Howard webbs comments " less is more"

Joke

[Goaljira]

The guy in the middle the cross was being played to was offside too. Surely the offside becomes live at the point the ball is kicked and therefore before the handball?

[Blues Mahoney]

Greedy bastard, just square it!!

What is wrong with players nowadays, it's all about the glory.

Square it, and you're 3 nil up and game over.

[NomadskiEFC]

It isn’t.

The refs just simply are not part of a wider conspiracy to rig games for the scum six or whatever they’re called.

They’re all just really bad at their jobs and have dealt with the implementation of VAR really poorly.

If that incompetence ran both ways I would agree, but the incompetence only runs in one direction in these games.

Whether that’s true or not I don’t know but it certainly seems that way

It's not corruption in the sense that it's shadowy men meeting in dark rooms to decide outcomes.

It's a kind of soft, systemic corruption where biases lean towards the more wealthy clubs in 50/50 decisions, where referees cave to larger crowds, where officials are unconsciously intimidated by clubs with larger media presences. A referee is aware that giving a terrible decision against Liverpool or Man U will probably result in death threats on social media and them possibly being removed from games involving those clubs, whereas giving a dodgy decision against Fulham probably won't have much in the way of repercussions.

And of course all of this is exacerbated further by the inequalities of the league itself with bigger clubs being able to spend at will and not being punished for overt cheating (City, Chelsea), while clubs like Palace and Everton don't get the same discretion and wiggle room applied to them.

I agree its far more likely but I also don't think our game is squeaky clean in deliberate actions either.

[Cods]

The Ofishals ruined it.

[Granite]

Spurs not had an attempt on goal in that 1st half against Bournemouth, let alone one on target. XG of 0.00.

Bournemouth had 12 shots.

[weimaranerblues]

Spawny mancs

[NomadskiEFC]

99th minute penalty winner to Utd. Fuckers.

[weimaranerblues]

Celebrating like they won the league

[Bluedylan1]

Amorim does need to keep picking up the odd unconvincing win to keep the job for longer, so it's a necessary evil for longterm gain.

[Shogun]

That's a rotter for Spurs and Frank like

[TheRam]

Think the United pen decision was a lot worse than the Chelsea Fulham one.

That just isn’t in the box.
