Referees v Everton

[rochdaleblue]

Our last 2 games we have crapped the bed against a poor Watford and nuked ourselves in the foot against Brentford.

I get it, we have had some pretty horrific decisions this season, maybe other teams can say the same? I dunno.

Most of the day the final day means nothing, I think people are reaching cos for once there is everything to play for.

In order for it to work it would require a huge number of people to be in on it, so maybe 1 day the whistle will get blown, but till then, im not a believer.

I agree about Watford. Missed opportunity and I said it at the time. VAR shafted us on Sunday. If a penalty is awarded (like it should have been) we would have gone on to win the game.

I meant most right-minded people agree that without Branthy doing what he did, we win that game easily, so in order to believe the heist is on, it would require Branthy to be in on it.

Hahaha no it wouldn’t, because we had a stone wall penalty that wasn’t even looked at about 2 seconds before it?

But in order for it all to make sense, that would mean Jarrod Branthy is a paid actor.

Err, and Gordon? Or maybe the refs.

Why might that be?

Im not a tin foil hat guy or conspiracy theorist.

But i think anyone who believes that this hasnt been pure corruption is away with the fairies.

Too much evidence now game after game to believe otherwise.

If we go down I’d love to see the club sue the PGMOL. We’d almost certainly lose but it would be good to see a lot of their internal evidence come to light and at the very least drain those scum bags for legal fees.

I'd love to see a fan or fan group set up.a gofundme page to cover the costs of a small claims court claim for the price of their matchday ticket. It would only needc a couple of hundred quid to cover costs and it might lose but even so the press attention it would create would be a victory of sorts and step in the right direction. If the gofundme raised enough for a few individual claims it might just start change.

Zat...I am a rational thinker, I have run successful companies. The corruption I've seen, (and continue to see) in PL arbitrations is so egregiously blatant that only an idiot sees it as anything but totally bent.
What can I do do about it?....totally withdraw any financial support. Not 1 cent of my money supports the corrupt artifice of that bent venal, corrupt league.

It is much worse than that. If he was a coward he would not have ignored Richy's shirt pull and then couldn't wait to get the red out for Brathwaite. Oliver's problem is that he is either suffering from delusions of grandeur or worst case being directed to deliver specific outcomes.

your second conclusion is the correct one...it pays the coward more handsomely.

 

[PITA]

Neither red card was a wrong decision.

We've seen multiple shirt pulls get ignored in our games (it happens multiple times a week). I don't agree with it but shirt pull does not equal penalty.

I don't agree that the Brentford guy had to get a second yellow for the penalty foul. People will argue with me on that I guess.

We have to stop leaving the game in the hands of others.

Clueless.

Clueless.

you want to not engage with @TheBigIguana : he's a tiresome interlocutor. He always comes across as a person with waaaay too much useless time on his usually misinformed hands.

Does that mean the same as 'cockwomble'?

Get. This. In. The. PL.

Think I'd like an appeal system, like in Tennis. Forces the ref to go to the monitor if he doesn't do so on his own accord. Each team gets a couple of appeals per game or something.
