Referees biased to top teams

Post by Claretincraven » Sun Feb 17, 2019 5:54 pm

It doesn't just happen in the Premier League. Celtic just been gifted a goal by the referee. Centre half, up for a corner, clearly stops his marker competing for the header but allowed to get away with it. Celtic score from the knock down to win it 1-0 in the 90th minute. Clearly favoured the top side.

Celtic were clearly helped with the sending off as it looked to be going for a 0-0 draw.
I hate it when commentaters say studs showing. If you try to poke the ball away when the ball bounces they have to show.

When I saw the OP I was expecting an article about DRFC v Palace or Newport County v Citeh not about 3rd world Footy north of the border ;)



Oh and that was supposed to be a joke not to be taken seriously :D

I know what you mean though lets face it this happens across the board whether you are in England Scotland France Spain or where-ever

I read a while back that there's not enough top quality referees, so they can't be just banned willy-nilly. That's why the biased referees aren't dealt with and sacked.

Snow is cold and rain is set, anything else obvious you want to point out
