Cheesy laying into the ref says a lot IMO

Mate, we have talked about this at length and today just confirmed we are both not going mad. It is corruptFor the first time my younger daughter, who thinks I'm paranoid about it all, actually asked why do we bother going.
"its bent and we're being robbed, why do we spend £800 a year on a season ticket to just get screwed over"
She has a point, and I'm sat here in the pub asking myself is it all all worth it?
Can't even bring myself to talk to my mate who's come in.
Its a joke that I now think we get a fairer deal from UEFA refs than we do from the FA

Cheesy is expressing how we all feel. It's a real punch to the guts watching a display like that from Taylor.

You can only think that Sky are in on this.
Sometimes the ref has a terrible game and he gets called up on it and made stupid. Sometimes, like today, he has a terrible game and not only is it totally glossed over in the post-match punditry but the camera work during the game and in highlights packages actually seems to help cover this up. Come on, picking and choosing which refs get their mistakes covered up and which get made to look stupid is specifically why the Italian Des Lynham played such a crucial role in the Calciopoli scandal.
Today, just as you can see the ref reaching for his card to book or send off Luiz, the camera suddenly cut to a close shot of Luiz, who at first seem to know he was in trouble, before looking suprised and playing on! Then Sky cut back to the normal angle and all of a sudden play is just continuing? Then in replays they cut the view of the ref so you can't see how clearly he bottled it. Ridiculous!
I reckon there is good money to be had this season by backing your lot to lose in every big game and have a red card/concede a penalty. It does look like more than co-incidence to me, and that's as someone who isn't a City fan.

The referee was not only bad but a criminal, why such referee is allowed to destroy games? destroy all fair efforts? This is should not be acceptable at all, it is not fair.
