Ah pigeonho our resident rag apologist how are you bud. Ok i get the whole no paper trail but i also agree that it is incompetence born out of fear and just general incompetence coming right down from the very top due to lack of action from the FA and their inability to discipline refs when they dont follow the rules.
Ill cite a few examples, the two united none penalties, IF neither were penalties then both players must have been diving and therefore should have been booked for simulation i think im correct in saying neither players were booked so why was the ref not questions as to why he hadnt booked either players. To cite an incident not involving the rags, arsenal v ipswich at the emirates, fabregas blatantly dives no penalty given player not booked, its either a penalty or a booking why the none decision, same goes again for the hobbs challenge against leicester and the piquonne sending off against everton.
Refs hide behind the FA and their inability to follow their own rules they just interpret them as they see fit and consequently you have very little chance of getting a fair hearing or a fair game and who should sit on that FA board none other than Mr David Gill who works for one manchester united no other club has anything like that kind of representation in the official body so how can it be consiered an impartial body representing the best interests of the whole of football but this is just accepted.
I dont think football is inherently corrupt in terms of bribes i just think too much influence is concerted by one club into what is supposed to be an impartial body. Also if anyone doubts fergusons influence in game look at the blackpool game charlie adams makes an innocuous tackle, ref goes over to have a word ferguson jumps up its a booking, thats influencing a game by getting the oppositions best player booked anyone who saw the game will no the incident and no the ref had no intention of booking the player
