As non-sequiturs go, this is right up there, but given your total lack of objectivity on refereeing, it is of no surprise to me.:)
Ivan Toney should have tried that defence: "I wasn't breaking the betting rules. I was being swayed by greed and financial benefit".
This level of disparity pisses me right off. It happens so often that often it can't be anything other than on purpose.i'm just watching the PItcam Highlights of the EFC game and I was at the point where the ball is swung into EFC area. It's just over the head of Phil and Tarkowski gets a full head on it and also gets two hands into the back of Phil and sends him sprawling. A second or two later Hooooolihaaan gently places his hand in Tarkowski's back the force of which wouldn't topple an empty lifesize cardboard box - but the EFC man just slumps to the floor. Which one got the free kick? Foden or Tarkowski?
Weird how players are booked for showing emotion, but refs are human and can be swayed by the crowd and player influence and its all ok.Refs are human. They are susceptible to crowd and player influence. Unless robots are employed, that will never change. Fans of each team think they are swayed against their own side as they only remember the negative decisions and not the positive.
The mindset of having to moan about every refereeing performance regardless of result will always be alien to me. The result doesn’t seem to matter to some people. As long as they can shout corruption in the designated threads, they’re happy and anyone who doesn’t have the same need is contrarian, condescending [add other adjectives] etc.
The explanation ”just look how we are refereed” isn’t a reason. it’s a gut feeling based on tribalism. Refs will always have to make marginal calls. Some will go for your team and some will go against it. It’s the nature of the game.
Ultimately, people love a good moan.
No, I’m saying that referees are human and the only way to remove any subconscious bias is to have robots as referees.So you agree that referees make decisions based on who the team involved is, or their 'history', rather than applying the Laws of the Game fairly and equally?
Players are booked for shooting at officials. You don’t often see referees shouting in players faces and booting the ball into the crowd etc.Weird how players are booked for showing emotion, but refs are human and can be swayed by the crowd and player influence and its all ok.
I don't think there is a conspiracy, by the way. They are all pretty much useless. Just more useless for some teams than others.

What people want from referees is impossible. Literally. Whilst they are human, they will make decisions made with subconscious bias, for and against all fans’ teams.
For jumping into the crowd or taking their shirts off, yes. Not sure how that is relevant to refereeing subconsiousness.Players are booked for celebrating goals too.
I think this. Fernandez ran straight to Cann pointing out that Rashford didn't touch the ball, as if this is the sole determining factor for whether or not he was offside. Cann replied "I know, I'm going to recommend the goal should stand". He did recommend this to Attwell. All this within 5 seconds of the goal being scored.What do you think happened behind the scenes then?

Can we go back to ignoring each other’s posts please? You’re better boring the fuck out of people on the charges thread.
How do you explain the penalty that Wolves got on Sunday. The fellah made sure that he tripped himself up by dragging his leg across the City defender. No appeal from Wolves, and Wolves fans laughing at the decision. I can't remember laughing myself as much at such a decision. A human shouldn't make that kind of error considering the experience and number of games they'd reffed. I can put it in the 'useless' reffing category but at this level a mistake like that should result in a termination of the fellah's appointments.No, I’m saying that referees are human and the only way to remove any subconscious bias is to have robots as referees.
