This is the key for me. You have 22 grown men out on the pitch actively cheating, pure & simple. 22 men all out to con 1 referee. We are then apoplectic when a referee falls for it if it goes against us, but mostly silent or having a laugh about it if it's to our advantage. Until players are...

Offside is subjective. When was the ball played? Is a player interfering/gaining an advantage? etc. etc. Everything about football is subjective & emotional, that's what makes it so good & so popular. VAR trying to sanitise it has made it infinitely worse.

Yeah 100% I can live with mistakes & individual decisions being wrong, we're all human. It's when they have a complete lack of control & a failure to see when they're being played that infuriates me. The Burnley ref's performance was indefensible. They did everything possible they could to...

In theory, yes. Would likely need horrendous positioning from the ref but that would hardly be a surprise!

Yes

The drop ball being given back to the keeper & the no booking for the foul on Sakamoto are stupid quirks of the laws rather than mistakes by the ref in fairness. The drop ball one is actually being tweaked for next season. He was still poor though, the failure to award the penalty & the...

Wow. Far from pretty but points all that matter at this stage. Different game if we get that stonewall pen after 15mins tbf.

That is literally the law, the reasoning being that, by default because advantage is played then it hasn't stopped a "promising attack". The penalty decision is absolutely atrocious, he's almost caught the thing. You won't see a clearer handball than that. The lack of stoppage time again...

Oggy said on CWR pre-match that he thinks he may not be 100% but is fit enough to play. After the game though he backtracked & said he was sure he was ready 🤷🏼‍♂️

Might be the worst ref I've ever seen & there's quite some competition.

It's pretty poor for fans etc. looking from the outside in but it's worth remembering that the PL clubs all voted on this 'loophole', just last year in fact, and 9 said they wanted it to remain part of the PSR Rules so there's no point in anyone crying foul over it.

Like Dublin did for us & his reward was to be booed, called a Judas & have people wishing him a broken neck. Footy fans eh.

Too little too late as usual & it will be the club who suffers. He failed the PL owners test to buy Hull then just months later sails through the EFL's owners test with barely the raise of an eyebrow. Shocking.

What a season this could be for them... They're one of the worst teams in PL history, we go up via the Playoffs & Forest get into the Champions League. Beautiful.

Imagine constantly cheating the financial rules, giving you an unfair advantage, & still being that terrible.

Interesting night for the Burroughs'. Jack vs George tonight in the QF of the Birmingham Senior Cup.

Thought we were fantastic. They were awful but a lot of that is down to how we pressed. Best under Lampard imo. Beautiful 🩵

Doesn't include last night btw.
