Last night the commentary said they had only received 5 yellows for the whole of this season, also saying it should be near enough impossible to do that in this day and age. Gets you thinking doesn't it, everytime I've seen them just mane on his own deserves 2 yellows a match. He is a dangerous player. Then you have Robertson & trent pushing players into hoardings every match. It's a pisstake, any high pressing team picks up yellows, you put more tackles in, you're more open to counter attacks, etc. Then there's the diving, mane again last night, but it looks like they've stopped booking dives now completely which is stupid.

There was an interesting article in the Athletic last week about how referees are marked for games. Apparently every single decision (of which there can be 100s in a game) is scored, which would clearly show up biases for and against any clubs. They then go into a league table, and if you get low marks you don't get the big games.

On the other hand, Robertson (who even has his own 'shithouse tribute videos' made by Liverpool fans) made it through most of last season without being booked. So, clearly the system is a bit shit.
