Utter fucking dogshit contribution without the threat of the FA to hide behind this time, off the back of a previous horrific season - 5 goals - 2 Penalties won by someone else - and 0 assists yet again.

The first yellow he got today is just not a yellow for an other player. No chance. You see players literally shout fuck off at refs and get no punishment. He just threw his arm in the air in frustration. Yes he shouldn’t have kicked off after, but these pricks are without a doubt looking for a reason to book him. It feels premeditated. Call it conspiracy if you like but I’ve thought it a few times. 

He’s now put something on X to suggest that’s how he feels. 

Yes he’s a multi millionaire footballer who should get a stiffer upper lip but that was a clear head loss and continued sarcastic messaging to the FA, and I do have a little bit of empathy. This is the same outfit that desperately tried to fit him up for two years without a shred of credible evidence. Why wouldn’t you believe there might be a continued agenda after he hired a legal team to make them look like a load of clowns?

 

I do agree with this actually. He doesn't do himself favours sometimes with theatrics but is treated like absolute dogshit by the refs. Barely ever gets a free kick and is always harshly penalised. Seems he very much has a target on his back when there are far worse offenders than him all over the division. Liverpool players did worse today and walked away with nothing. When (Diouf?) was just clearly pushed over in the first half, absolutely nothing given. That was ridiculous. Other players dive worse than him week in week out and if they have the right shirt on it's always a free kick. Other players are far dirtier than him and barely ever get booked for it. Doesn't excuse his stupidity yesterday but he's been a marked man for a while.

Fair points about the refereeing yesterday. But the reason he barely every gets a free kick is because of his diving reputation preceding him. If I was a ref I would be reluctant to give him anything either, even when it was a clear cut foul.

This culminated in him sitting down in the centre circle begging to come off against Bradford.

As I remember rightly he had been denied two clear penalties which was waved away before sub Kitson ran in the box and fell over with nobody near him and got one.

Cue Di Canio getting up and trying to wrestle the ball away from BFF to take the pen.

High drama and entertaining but referees have their own agendas particularly when it comes to certain players and clubs.

Liverpool are allowed to get away with murder when it comes to play acting and I'm sure that is factored into the game management allowing them to break up the play dictate the pace and regroup when under pressure.

The refs by allowing this to occur are effectively facilitating cheating.

I'd be careful about calling is cheating, unless the term is applied further up the admin pyramid.

Refs are clearly under pressure to make sure that the media's (and hence the football administration's)   preferred teams end up in Europe every season.

Leicester can never, ever, be allowed to happen again.

That's what 14 PL teams are up against now, every season.

Those who take the media's shilling will never openly state such though.

You know when l said you mainly post utter bollocks?

So you'd get rid of our most skilled player, when all our midfield dross is already on the bench every game? Who takes his place, Irvine? The Ward-Prowse can have Irvine's bench spot.

Yeah, that'll sort the team out.
