That Palace petition about banning Benteke...

[Black Rod]

For diving to win a penalty that won Liverpool the game at Selhurst - https://www.change.org/p/football-assosiation-ban-christian-benteke-and-fine-liverpool-fc-6-points

More or less embarrassing than writing/tweeting/emailing/abusing the FA for not overturning Stephens red card?

Given that you need 100,000 signatures to progress the petition its not going very well

how about Brighton fans writing letters about the nature of Stephen's card. there was no fuss over the Dunk card or others, this one however had circumstances that question how the rules of the game are applied.

where is the option for 'both are equally ridiculous and infantile...although neither are actually embarrassing'

Both as Tin Pot as each other I'm afraid.

But it seems everyones at it nowadays, Newcastle have started one to get Adam Johnsons goals rubbed off which would put Sunderland back in the relegation below them.

Embarrassing, all of it.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Its certainly a dangerous direction of travel for any sport. We need referees/umpires so we can enjoy playing or watching. Disagreeing vehemently with a decision is one thing but calling into question the integrity of officials and wild accusations of corruption when a decision doesn't go your way is ridiculous. When Mourinho did it a few years ago in a European match he was widely and rightly condemned. We just need some perspective.
