Society has developed a warped and self-righteous sense of what is right and ‘fair’. It needs the subsequent punishment of any perceived offence, while remaining distracted by memes and warnings from what is actually happening, which keeps people where they are and where they can be seen and it nullifies any major dissent of authority. This has found its way into football.
PL football is now all about who has been ‘wronged’, what is the ‘verdict’ and what punishment will be given. We have VAR and PL rules to decide on the wrongdoing and verdict and incompetent and/or corrupt individuals/groups within the VAR and PL processes deciding who gets what punishment.
Rules have always been made to be broken. That’s why they are made in the first place, otherwise they would not be made. We have to have punishment of what is not ours. In PL football it’s incompetence and/or corruption which determines the level of punishment.
The only way this will change is for either the rules to be changed or the people who make the incompetent and/or corrupt verdicts and determination of punishment are either investigated and regulated (punished) or they are removed completely. It’s punishment and ‘fairness’ we want, isn’t it?
Any flyer, poster or flag saying “Corrupt” is pointless. Even those dishing out their punishments from VAR and the PL know they are either incompetent or corrupt. What is telling them what they already know going to change?
Protests would gain more coverage and support if any email, letter, flyer, etc. mentioned regulation or investigation of PL officials and officers. Shouting “CORRUPTION” just makes us sound like we don’t think it’s ‘fair’, which it isn’t of course, but nobody cares as long as it isn’t being done to them.
We need to fight and fight hard and dirty. We don’t need to ‘work with them’ we need to tell them how it was and how it’s going to be but if we don’t, at least we’ll have had the satisfaction of telling them they’re corrupt. That’ll learn them and they’ll never do it again will they!
