Corruption in English football?

[Bald fraud]

Not English football, but the fact a match-fixing referee (Felix Zwayer), is allowed to referee the biggest match in the Bundesliga is extremely suspicious and concerning. Bayern run a closed shop.

Conor Coady needs investigating

Yes, I remember that header over the bar from 5 yards out against 'his club' Livarpool...

It's starting to become just a bit sickening. Anfield today - disgraceful.

 

[N1985]

Absolutely in full view today.

Rotten.

I just wish they fronted up to it.

Admit the PL is a business rather than a sport. At the moment it feels like we're the only club fighting against it and the more we win on and off the field the more piss will boil.

Feel like we're the being 'handicapped' because they don't want us dominating. Prime racehorse being told Eddie Large will be our jockey.

Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea and City all win with a penalty decision.
It seems the players referee games these days.

But its only City that is an unexpected anomaly in that list... and it's only the City pen that will be scrutinised and deemed unfair and contentious.

Watching the Norwich v utd game yesterday it honestly felt like I was having deja vu it was so utterly predictable, Norwich the better side but utd winning it with a soft, late pen.

I agree, all the scrutiny on the City penalty, but the scourge of diving/playacting is there to see with all teams.
The "do anything to win" attitude.
