The fact Michael Oliver was most definitely not even handed in today’s game in any way, shape or form isn’t the question anymore.
The fact that we won once again whilst being clearly cheated against, which we are on a regular basis isn’t even the question anymore.
The real question is why Oliver and his fellow cronies and the organisation they are employed by are seen as an independent body which seems to require no regulation or accountability in what is now multi billion pound industry.
The manipulation of very simple rules and the use of game management by officials both on the field and now within VAR to favour certain teams and outcomes is both established and obvious.
Until PGMOL is either independently regulated or replaced altogether we will continue to endure the definite one sided officiating for certain teams which I can only guess is seen as a financial necessity for the good of the product as a whole.
I’m obviously paranoid as f*ck but I feel the Premier league and the MSM are complicit in all of this as it seems to be able to go on unabated and where possible unquestioned.
It pisses me off as I really believe we are one of the great teams of the premier league era but instead of being revered and celebrated like every other team were we are hindered, cheated and our achievements downplayed. All the while inferior rivals are lauded on any and every opportunity.
Until the day PGMOL are regulated by an independent body which has no vested interest in football but are able to hold them to account for questionable decisions and/or basic failures to apply the laws of the game correctly we will be slagging off Oliver, Moss, Alty, and the other shower of c#nts for the foreseeable.
