Refs generally show bias towards the big clubs, I expect it when we play them now, it’s not right it’s just the way it is. The ex refs commentating after the event seem to close ranks on contentious stuff too it seems, especially when it might be detrimental to a top six club playing an also ran.
Another big team ref who showed too much leniancy towards Chelsea’s thuggish cynicism which they used on a number of occasions when threatened. Fecking frustrating to see the big team bias so often.
