The problem you’ve got with the unwashed masses and some of the blind on here is they think that the corruption downer happen because we get a few bad decisions, or we don’t get a red card for every challenge or concede a penalty every time.
it’s all about plausible deniability that’s why they’re fine with refs being called incompetent, var flawed and making rules nonsensical and open to interpretation, the more gray areas and “issues” the more they can push whatever agenda they may have.
Maybe it’s not against us, maybe it is, maybe it’s asset protection. maybe it’s simply some big movers having big money on big results and want to see it happen.
At some level corruption will exist because there’s simply too much money involved for there to not be, all the dodgy stuff going on around the round in virtually every field imaginable and we’re to believe the ref outfit for a league, who’s top executives get interviewed by (only) two of the leagues teams and have even forced into taking action against a team simply investing in themselves because others threw a tantrum, is squeaky clean? Not a chance.
For me what’s weird is how bad our players reactions has been this year, Rodri getting a red (a straight one for violence!) and pep being booked in back to back games. We’re going to be on the receiving end of a lot of shit decisions this year and if we react like this every time how many points might we drop? How many teams start trying to purposely wind us up?
Fuck the refs and fuck the establishment! The only way to beat them is to keep winning
