Just watching last nights highlight of Burnley v Leicester how the hell did Varfy get away without a yellow for that blatant dive. Disgraceful

Not many yellows given out for diving, these days.
I thought they wanted to clamp down on it ?

Except for any of our lot.

I think part of the problem is that the media persistently show close ups of challenges and go closer and closer to the impact. However, they continue to show incidents in slow or super slow motion, when the game and incident happen at full pace. Someone running at full pelt does not require much to knock him over- unless he's Sterling.
Slow motion has also started to influence hand ball decisions in penalties. It used to be very rare to get a penalty for hand ball in the box; the player really needed to have moved his hand to stop the ball, but not now. I can remember Rooney claiming a penalty at West Ham a few years ago, when he belted the ball off someone a couple of yards away from him, who had his arms beside him, screamed at the ref, and was (un)believably awarded a penalty. Maybe I missed a directive, but I always consider that moment to have changed how referees interpreted hand to ball in the box. Now we have such lunacy as 'his hands/arms were in an unnatural position'; do referees actually memorize a manual of the myriad positions the human body can adopt?

Yup he was a bag of shite largely.
Booking City players for the slightest thing, but WHU get away with continually fouling and Creswell and Carroll both got away with shockers.

Another game, another complete shithead with the whistle, it is after these convincing wins that as a club we should be making a fuss to the FA about it.
We had something like 70% possesion. They didnt have a shot on target. We scored 4 goals, they conceeded a penalty ............... so how come we had 3 players booked !Yup he was a bag of shite largely.

I think they had 4 booked, the ref was an absolute dick. I would love to see the foul count.

Going into each game worrying our players are going to get their bell run or get booked for any iffy challenges. Man this sucks.
