For me part of the problem is also the inconsistency in the way the rules are being applied. I mentioned the Trent Arnold handball at Anfield which directly lead to them scoring. An incident where a handball resulted in a goal being scored which would in all likleyhood not have happened if the handball had not occurred. Yesterday Foden is fouled and falls to the ground and the ball brushes his arm but the slight contact clearly has no influence on the direction or outcome and it is ruled handball and the goal disallowed. Its beyond comprehension that one handball is deemed acceptable and the other not. Firstly its down to the incompetency of the officials, there is clearly no accountability either so they think they are doing a good job when clearly they are not. How PL managers retain their calm I have no idea. Why there isn't a mass compliant and a downing of tools by the participants until the standard is raised I have no idea.
