I am not sure the laws make any distinction. Not sure where the personal part has come from. Foul and abusive and foul and abusive - nothing to do with personal.

I don't have a problem with it apart from the rampant inconsistency and bias of the refs. Dunk's actions have cost us. But if he was in a light blue jersey it wouldn't have. We simply have to compete to a higher standard than the big six. Both in terms of discipline and on field actions and in...

Both are red cars offences. I would like to know why VAR did not get involved as it is a clear and obvious error not to send at least Haarland off there.

Lol come on. What about his body language and aggression is impersonal!?

Nothing to see here. And people say the EPL refs are not biased in any way 🤣

Hopefully it is happening even as a precaution. Given the amount of previous soccer has in terms of match fixing it would be a good idea to do. Just like having a smoke alarm or CO alarm. It doesn't mean the house is on fire, but it gives you an early warning IF something bad happens and you can...

I have nothing. As you point out no one will miss me, which makes me irrelevant, unimportant and thus have zero influence. Given that I fail to see how anything I say, positive or negative, about anyone could cause an increase or loss of earnings or harm anyone in any way. But anyway, just...

There is nothing there. I assume you are in a windup. Anyway. Enough of this now.

The key is the word OR: incompetent OR external influence. I provided proof they are incompetent.

Not sure I have seen any warning and not sure what about. It is very straightforward to prove they are incompetent or under external influence. Just watch them they are incompetent by their inconsistency. As you wanted proof: take the handball penalty against Dunk that hit his arm after his...

This is the kind of video the club should send to the EPL when they ask for the card to be rescinded. Either a load of other reds need to retrospectively given out or Dunk's need to be removed. That is consistency. Anything less and they are admitting they are incompetent or under external...

Be a silver lining for us. Less games for Dunk will mean he is in better shape for us.

Omg is that true!? If so we really need to enquire as to exactly what was said and how it is different to the other stuff that gets said over other games. If not how will players know what is over the line or not?

I am not implying that they are fixing it in favor specific teams. Why would you think that? Match fixing in terms of numbers of yellows, number of penalties etc etc. It goes a long way to explain the otherwise random nature of some of the decisions: one week certain things are fouls and...

Probably when the spot betting on it has finished. Just like the kicking the ball away ones. 🙄

But how is that fair? When top 6 players are allowed to do it and sway referee decisions again and again with no punishment. Why should we have a different set of laws applies?

Oh come on. You only have to to see the difference in approach to some bookings compared to others. Just taking Brighton games into account: we got booking for kicking the ball away. Then it mysteriously stopped. Then came back in injury time today. That is not individuals seeing things...

I bet you can find multiple instances without punishment from this weekend as well.

This is exactly what adds to the growing view that the EPL is scripted for match fixing. If there is nothing going on why the need to be inconsistent about something so easy and simple to inforce?

I would yes. The biggest issue with officiating in the premier league is consistency. The lack of it leads to their ability to give "odd" decisions that could vary easily be match fixing. There needs to be a framework in place to address the inconsistency issue. Fines for referees, or...
