From those who run the league's, the media, the fans, and even the government, nobody wants to see if there is an issue in this country because it's the world's favourite event.

As long as everybody goes about their business and the fans have their sense of community, everybody turns a blind eye.

Just like people complaining in this very thread, as long as there's a game, we'll still watch our team. It's part of us, just like an extended family.

Another issue is that fans don't pull in the same direction. We all complain about what happens to our club, but take the piss out of other fans when they get shafted. The inherent tribalism in football works like a perfect "divide and conquer" for the powers that be.

Yep, the Rag/Dipper/Spud/Chav/Arse cheating cunts, but I'll laugh if it ever happens to them. All in the name of banter though

In fairness it has happened to Chelsea Vs. Barcelona 1-1 in CL semi 2nd leg 2009
They were cheated that night. It was so blatant. Drogba lost the head after the match.

I suppose this is all hindsight now.

The old say fuck all like that. As an old fukker, I have been banging on about corruption on this site for a number of years.

Could it be the young that are inexperienced and naive that have ignored this issue? Or would that have be just as stupid sa statement?

Try the media, the pundits and other mainstream media outlets for their contiuous brainwashing that refs are human and we all make mistakes.

I found myself, inadvertently, looking for a ref running along waving his arms to negate the result. That thought just flashed across my mind from nowhere, but it does show how ridiculous those 3 games in 6 days were.

I stand corrected. Bloody autocorrect. I've joined in this week so still relatively a virgin to finding my way around the commenting section albeit I've been following this site for years.. hope the veterans go easy on me haha. My point is, whenever I've argued about recent decisions they throw the old chestnut 'decisions even themselves out throughout course of the season'. Well you can't call it luck when they go against us 3 games in a row; there has to be more to it than just poor refereeing. I'm not sure I would consider myself 'young'n' at 38

There's always a miserable 'Owd cant' who'll call you out on here mate, don't take it personally, especially if it's just a typo. I got it but then again, I've still got the knack of reading between the lines ;-)

Enjoy.

You know me too well Beefers. Correct on every count.

Too soon it seems.

A coincidence.

The powers that be don’t give a fuck about Fred Crellin.
