Ref Watch

He gave up giving them soft free kicks around 60 mins as it was a lost cause...the non-pen even if he was unslghted was disgraceful from England on VAR
He wasn't unsighted he was right behind it and close up.

Getting sick to fucking death of this refereeing now, it's every fucking game.

I know he wasn't but that's the usual excuse trotted out. It'll be interesting to see if MOTD shows it, the Maguire & FCRon lunges at Kev as well.
 
It pissed me off today & the foul count was embarrassing & I’m not having the “play on” as there was times we lost possession & went down, that was when he waved play on.

we were fortunate we got the OG early otherwise it was the same as the Palace game. The players knew it & he wanted us frustrated. There was times our players were left on their arses punching the turf in disgust.

a game so one sided, a gulf in class so huge being controlled by the ref to give them every opportunity.

Manipulation of the play on rule a fairly standard game management tactic, often used surreptitiously by bent ref's, but OliVAR made it too obvious today.

Wasn't it Oliver that didn't give a penalty a few years ago when someone floored Yaya when he was clear on goal and about to have a shot. But then a red had already been sent off so I suppose Oliver was shitting himself. And remember Anfield a couple of seasons ago. Oliver is loathe to give us anything against most teams. (Did you notice that I didn't put 'top' or 'big' teams - the reds do not come into that category any more).

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.
