What does everyone make of the referees trying to influence the title race with dodgy decisions? It does feel like they would try anything in their power to try to stop us winning a football match.

Also quite funny City are crap all of a sudden, maybe some 'benefits' being sent to officials have been stopped during the court case?

I do think they are corruption in some way but to all teams not just us. You could literally make an argument that they corrupt every weekend as some of the decisions and explanations and cover ups are just unbelievable!

17 Dec 2024 13:12:10
I think they're just crap and instead of admitting they are crap, they try to hide it by being even more crap.

I do think there are some inherent biases amongst refs too and that some clubs and players get worse treatment than others.

Not convinced there's a single explicit bias though.

PGMOL is a failing organisation that needs replacing. The AI ref cannot come quick enough.

The financial charges hearing finished earlier on this month so it's got bugger all to do with that.

17 Dec 2024 13:22:30
Saying that the refs are corrupt I'm not so sure but saying they are crap 100% agree?.

17 Dec 2024 13:43:46
Sorry NicolBecker Glory, I do not believe any of that is happening. They are simply rank in competent and inconsistent, all in the same games they do individually.

Now what I do believe is that their incompetence is being protected by the VAR cos now, the VAR seems to validate the wretched decisions they make by blatantly not interfering when we all think they should and this is all across the league.

So even tho we can see their mistakes, they will always come back with, "it does not reach the threshold of blah, blah" just to protect the howlers they make. Just my take.

Bit of both I think Barry mate.

17 Dec 2024 13:57:09
I'm with you, Barry.

Offences shouldn’t be allowed to be interpreted. Ball touches arm handball. If you hold onto someone ( in the area needs stamping out) it’s obstruction and a foul. If your kicked it’s a foul. If var catches you diving or simulating contact and going down it’s a foul. Offside is offside. No confusion then. Any official balls it up can be punished why should clubs/ fans be punished for a ref mistake. Stop trying to be clever and giving them rules “ interpretation “ to hide behind. Level playing field for us all.

17 Dec 2024 14:13:43
Paranoia kicking in. Just to stop Liverpool winning a game ?.

17 Dec 2024 14:43:18
I'm with you, Irish.

17 Dec 2024 14:53:31
What about if a player is tapped and he goes down? Is that a foul or simulation?. Of course there is going to be some sort of interpretation. Does the ref look at VAR for any type of simulation or foul anywhere on the pitch or just in the box?

If ex players can’t even agree sometimes if it’s a penalty or not or a sending off then what makes you think a ref can?

17 Dec 2024 15:07:34
@ Irish rover. There lies the problem. If a player is tapped it’s a foul. Simulation if an arm hits you in the chest and you clutch your face simulation. Easy init. Don’t give the cheats the option. Don’t tap them.

17 Dec 2024 15:18:30
City are crap because they go to pieces once they’re not allowed to boss possession and realise they don’t have the legs in midfield to cover the huge gaps they leave in behind. Really it’s very similar to what happened to us, but city’s entire team are deeply uncomfortable having to turn and have players run at them. Of course it doesn’t help when the entire team is totally bereft of confidence and pep sticks the one guy on the team with zero defensive acumen at left back. It’s fun watching haaland get dominated by slabhead though haha.

17 Dec 2024 15:33:15
I think they are primarily substandard with some corrupt but I also think many of the rules are also too open for interpretation resulting in inconsistency.

17 Dec 2024 15:40:06
Once again, I'm with you Irish. You'd be best changing your user name to Irish Rome, and save me typing!

17 Dec 2024 15:48:51
We will have to disagree on what we class as simulation then . If a player is tapped and he goes down I call it cheating ?‍♂️.

17 Dec 2024 16:31:20
You've changed your mind since the Spurs games last season, then, Oli?
You said they were corrupt then.

17 Dec 2024 22:00:03
Quite a lot of the time when (player) corruption in football gets mentioned I think of Franks Sinclair and smile. If you don’t know what I’m on about look up Franks Sinclair and own goals.

18 Dec 2024 11:50:28
Rigsby, I often don't respond to your obsessive nonsense about me BUT here, I must respond.

Now you are going to have to prove to me where or in what post I said the refs were corrupt in the fallout of the Spurs game last season.

If you can prove it with actual quotes and empirical evidence then, fair enuff I will accept it. I'll wait.

18 Dec 2024 13:15:47
Oli, you said on the 1st October, 2023:

'Ed01, I guess the so called conspiracy theories about City being able to pay off whoever they want to get the result required were actually a thing, the whole time'.

Is that empirical enough for you?

18 Dec 2024 21:09:55
Nope, that was a tongue in cheek comment cos Ed01 has always said that there is corruption in English football. So all I did was feed into his narrative with that comment, if I remember correctly. Close BUT no cigar, mate.

And even if I changed my mind, what's wrong with that? Many of us thought Robbo deserved the red card only to get more information about the play and many of us changed our minds later. Or should we have kept sticking to our guns when the facts changed like you do?

18 Dec 2024 23:57:25
You were feeding into an Ed's narrative, Oli? That's not like you! ?
Why don't you just own your comments, lad? Then again, you don't even know what you said or why so why should you.

Btw, what facts changed about the Robbo red card? How did the facts change? A fact is a fact, isn't it?
Do you mean your interpretation of the facts changed?
Again?

19 Dec 2024 03:15:09
Hahaha, this turned into a funny thread. Keep going Rigsby and Oli lol ?.
