Newcastle Utd (and Viz)

There should be a review and rule that every official should admit where their allegiance lies for footballing integrity before they become professional. The amount of ex kopites involved in both punditry and commentary is ridiculous. There is without doubt a massive amount of corruption in the officiating of these games.
 

Like them or loath them, they have the cash to spend (even if it is dirty Saudi money) and can't spend it due to the FFP restrictions currently in place.

That along with the Saudi owners of course is the problem with modern football right there. There was a Geordie that used to post on here before until he got chased out of the joint!:lol:

I’m still a bit unconvinced exactly how much of the PIF funds / who controls the taps is actually committed to them if I’m honest, ie how much of a priority they are.
They’ve hardly done what Abu Dhabi did with City (yet) and have been there 3-4 years already……
For context look how much PIF is / was spending on the boxing and LIV golf….
There's the argument of P&S rules of course, but that hasn’t stopped city, and this court case doesn’t exactly look to be reigning them in.

Huh, well TIL:


Referees are required to inform PGMOL of the club they support.

Coote, from Nottingham, is registered as a Notts County fan and is therefore unable to officiate County or Nottingham Forest matches.
