Howard Webb

[Neville Kneville]

this from talksport is spot on about Ashley young and diving
why would aguero be thinking am going down he is a great player and wants to score first than am thinking I want a pen first

He even proved that with the title winning goal.

He was caught by the defender before he put that in. If that was Rooney or most of the vermin front players over the years, or most of Liverpool's players, Owen, Rush, any of them, they would have hit the deck like they'd been shot. Sergio rode the challenge & smacked the ball in. That's what he's continued to do, yet these arseholes treat him as if he's dived, most of the time.

I don't know do I, which is why I suggested consciously or sub consciously. I have to wonder though, don't you?
Look at the one at Goodison last week on Navas. Ref is in a good position, probably about 20 feet from the incident. He clearly saw Navas have his feet taken away from him and yet he doesn't give the foul. I have to question the process of the referee there because it is beyond incompetent. The one on Sterling last night is even worse. Our man was properly clattered, Stones is nowhere near ball and clumsily wipes Stering out from behind. Again, what on earth is going through the referees mind because incompetency for me just doesn't explain it.

Whats going through their minds is a complete refusal to give us anything.

Its that simple.

Fair enough
So its looking like a campaign against us by a corrupt organisation, so is this now a matter for the police?

Completely agree.

That video on the previous page with Webb and Savage is an absolute scandal imo. Webb has done everything bar call Kun a cheat and despite knowing its a foul and thus a penalty, completely refuses to acknowledge that fact and defends the decision to not award it. He is not an impartial observer whose opinion grates but means nothing, he is influential on the current refs.

Sterling is in the exact same boat and will not be given a penalty regardless of how obvious or cynical the foul against him now.

Like the absurd unnatural arm position bollocks we get now to either decline or award a penalty depending on the team involved, we are now getting treated to so called fucking body language expert refs who will decide how a players falls over lol.

Just apply the laws of the game and stop fucking cheating!

Lets remember WEBB is a closet RAG so he is always going side against us. As for the two recent disgraceful decisions I question the impartiality of said Refs, both against the same opposition !!! NO surely not corruption in football !!!!!!!! and to think we ever questioned FIFA and UEFA !!!! well we all know now don`t we

Completely agree.

The PL need to continue to satisfy its global audience with a product they will pay for knowing full well the clubs supported in the main by them, the sheer amount of money in the game and the PL from prize money to teams, CL qualification and all that brings, certain clubs and players needed to look good for international call ups and all that brings, their agents wanting just that to increase contracts, fees due to them etc and last but not least, the global £Billions gambled on the league.

To suggest that many involved wont do whatever it takes to protect their incomes and positions is naive at best.

It's not beyond possibility. I actually think it's more likely that some referees just don't like us as a club and are sub consciously biased against us. But yes, maybe there is room for another corrupt organisation in football.
