unbelievable Jeff

Very much believable. The PL is rife with institutionalised cheating. Time added, pen this week for one team and next week it's a dive, cards handed out/not handed out for identical incidents, political refereeing. We had three pens conceded v Leicester, and in the last two games we've had three pens waived away. Referees are in a particular mental state depending on which team they have in front of them. The notion of even-handedness and the application of the LotG as they are written is a period in geological time - long since gone.

And...

Surprise, surprise, a former referee not on the official payroll sees things differently.

This 'clear and obvious error' mullarkey is just a PiGMOL concocted smokescreen to divert attention away from the incident. If it's a pen and the ref thinks it wasn't a pen then it's the clearest and most obvious fucking error there could be. We are cheated week in and week out, match after match. I bet Pep could strangle some of the sub-standard specimens that turn up to matches waving a whistle and make out they are qualified referees.

But that is not the case VAR have given loads of pens not blown for by the ref for the slightest of contact on Mane, Salah et al

The solution is simple - the next time we go for the away kit of red 'n black stripes, let's just fuck off the black stripes. There's nigh on a penalty a game, and certainly when yer desperate for a goal.

Worst ref' decision ever was against me, playing for a local Hulme team against Navy Cadets. I'm though on goal, 1on 1, when a lump of a CH takes my legs. The ref' just shook his head, I gave him a 1000 yard stare and then shouted "For fucks Sake DAD.
Later, at home, he explained that he thought the lad might thump him.

Playing for Reddish, coming on as sub, one of the "bench" shouted "no fannying about", I replied f#ck off. Straight red.

Reminds me of a cricket match at Rochdale. This bowler was just asking to be hit into Asda car park. He runs up, I'm down the wicket, five yards out of my crease, raps me on the pad, and my ERO turns to their coach with an 'owzat and I'm given out - FIVE YARDS DOWN THE FUCKIN' WICKET!

For a few years I played village cricket in West Gloucestershire. Playing against our local rivals from just over the border in Wales. I'm batting and get a edge which bounces up and knocks out three front teeth. The keeper shouts to me "I can see one tooth over there, may be it can be replaced". I go to fetch it and the bastard stumps me.

My late dad told me about a story, he was a very good CF at his level, anyway he gets brought down in the box, and the ref gives a feee kick inside the box, my dad said wtf are you doing it's a penalty and the ref says it wasn't a bad enough foul for a penalty, lol.
