Decisions Against us

There's no conspiracy, we're just crap. Decisions go against us, unfairly sometimes, but it's just bad luck. We're not important enough to be the victims of a conspiracy.

Nah, there are some very dubious decisions against the unfavoured sides, not just us. The PL is a business, not a sport, and it has to maintain its profile globally, and to do that it has to maintain the interest of 'football supporters' worldwide, the fickle ones who have no fixed team but spend on the PL product.
VAR and recent rule changes have made it easier to mould the competition towards the most attractive and marketable it can possibly be, and because of the amounts of money involved, now attracting Saudi money, it can never be a fair sport, it wouldn't survive.
I find it very hard to believe it isn't rigged in one aay or another. It's finance, it's money, it's business and it's corrupt AF.

This I agree with. There is a conspiracy FOR a small group of clubs, there is no conspiracy against us. Bad decisions against us when we're playing Fulham or Wolves are just bad decisions, there's no conspiracy there. The powers that be don't care about any of those clubs.

Arsenal's penalty overturned?

United goal offside?

Same as above; conspiracy?

Corrupt AF?
 

If we get bad decisions it's up to Dyche to call the officials out if he feels they got a decision wrong. A sorry isn't good enough. An explanation should be required.

Yes but for there to be a conspiracy for those clubs then de facto there is a conspiracy against the others, ergo 'a conspiracy'.
 

I think us being relegation bait is exciting for the league. I absolutely think they are trying to rub our noses in the dirt and keep us there as long as possible. We have so many awful things happening at the club (and we have the right amount of history) to make us a great advertisement for the “fight for survival.” We don’t need their help to be honest but these poor officiating performances are not appreciated in the slightest. We won’t get an easier run of games and they made sure we couldn’t take advantage. I know for a fact some of the officials are involved in sports betting too. It’s a mess
 
I personally believe that since the apology the refs and VAR officials have had an unconscious bias against us.

Listening to Mike Dean recently pretty much confirms that there is bias within the refs minds when they officiate the matches, so to be humbled into an apology to massage Kenwright's ego is a real master stroke.

I also agree with the previous comments about the brand using the officiating to keep the more viable products in the shop window
