Today's Football - 2023/2024 Season

[Charro]

Tell me with a straight face this league isn't fixed.

Who is it fixed for though?

The reds are just really bad.

 

[hallamblue]

I can't even fathom that decision

Simon Hooper is an appalling referee, simple as that.

 

[SJB]

Sky tv are embarrassing too, Micah Richards glossing over it there.

Who is it fixed for though?

The reds are just really bad.

To keep the big boys together during the festive season £££££ and prevent runaway leaders with 20 point leads in January.

 

[allen]

Astonishing decision, that.

Was he convinced it was going to be called offside?

I can’t think of any other rational explanation for playing on, looking for an advantage and then blowing as soon as there’s a massive advantage.

 

[marsh]

City could drop points midweek against Villa aswell. Big chance for Liverpool and Arsenal to get further infront. I don't trust Arsenal so we need City to start going on a winning run soon

To keep the big boys together and prevent runaway leaders with 20 point leads in January.

Seems very far vetched to me.

Why don’t they do this every year then?

 

[JLW]

City will still win the league i have no doubt about that.

The Christmas period will split the men from the boys.

 

[daza_1973]

Seems very far vetched to me.

Why don’t they do this every year then?

Because with every minute that passes its becomes more about money and the product than anything else.

Lee Mason's love child! It's obviously in the genes.

 

[Charro]

Because with every minute that passes its becomes more about money and the product than anything else.

So the referees are actively making decisions through instructions from the premier league?

I thought they were for the sky 6. Now they want them to lose games?

Can’t the refs just be really bad?

 

[jazzy]

Have Sky been told not to analyze the Hooper decision?

Further evidence of corruption?

 

[d34noj]

Seems very far vetched to me.

Corruption and match fixing has been going on literally for decades, but you think it happening in the Premier League... The biggest league in the world which generates the most money - is far fetched?

Seriously?

 

[TyphooToffee]

I reckon he thought grealish was offside so wanted to give the free kick rather than have Spurs get away with the foul.

Very, very poor though and the kind of mistake that should see him sacked from prem games next weekend.

Either that or the game is bent.

I did wonder about that too, but in that case wait for the linesmen

Seriously?

I think the notion that referees are in on it with the premier league to keep things tight at the top of the table is ridiculous, yes.
