It’s possible. They’d have to be an awful lot of people making an awful lot of money to make it viable though.
Who do you think is paying them and for what purpose?
Doesn’t have to be money involved for it to be bent. See the Coote video. If he is bent, and I am not saying he is, money does not need to be involved, just dishonesty.
To that end I defy you to watch the clattenbung game at ours v spurs (sterling pen for the ball hitting his chest, that one) and not get the vibe that he has something he wants to happen regarding the result of the match.
Why do you defend them so much ? Just what is your skin in the game ?It’s possible. They’d have to be an awful lot of people making an awful lot of money to make it viable though.

If the top brass at the organisation are aware of any single instance of a dishonest event or events that were wholly responsible for changing the outcome of matches, or influencing betting markets and did nothing, then that organisation is corrupt whether you like it or not.I was replying to the guy who said the organisation was ‘wholly corrupt’
That suggests a lot more than an individual referee being ‘bent’
I can’t think of any other reason why a whole organisation would be corrupt. It’s an awfully big risk for a lot of already well paid people to take.
There must be some kind of big reward to them to overcome the risk.
This is what I get from watching the men, the women, other teams. Look at the latest from Howie Redshirt. He reckons that Oliver (Uefa 'n Fifa listed, regarded as the best in the business!) 'n Coote got it wrong with the West Ham pen v The Rags. Webb describes a situation that as far as I can understand is a perfect description of when a pen should be awarded, but Howie, who delivered the worst performance of any ref in a WC Final in living memory, will know best. PiGMOL is horse shit from top to bottom.Doesn’t have to be money involved for it to be bent. See the Coote video.

Just have a little peep at a fellow called Michael Riley. He was the top dog in charge of the referees. As honest as a day is long.I’m not defending anybody. Unlike a lot of people, I like to keep an open mind. I was asking simple questions to the guy who suggested they were ‘wholly corrupt’
Was referee in the most shamefully bent game I've ever witnessed, and it was not subtle. Gave absolutely nothing to Arsenal that day. He let the Rags systematically kick Arsenal to bits and awarded Rug Head a penalty for a clear dive. No doubt suitably rewarded by the Piscan.Just have a little peep at a fellow called Michael Riley.

I now have a nose larger than St Marcus of Rashford.
