I remain convinced that we were robbed by corruption in that infamous Liverpool game, just as I am utterly convinced that big team bias is rife in the game.
Only have to look at Man Utd to see that. Makes me chuckle when people say theyre hated cos theyre successful. Hmm well, more to it than that mate
Pretty sure he’s the red that admitted that a player once asked him to book him so he’d miss the following game through suspension instead of a local derby a couple of weeks after. So he told the player to kick the ball away at the next ball and he subsequently booked the player. Pretty sure it was this ref but could be mistaken. Reckon they’re all dodgy though to be fair.
I must admit that I'm a little sceptical too. That's not to say that I don't think they are corrupt at worst and just weak or incompetent at best because the evidence against them is overwhelming.
I will never forget the Nevile tackle from behind at thigh level on Andy liddell at Old Trafford in the F A cup. Everybody and I mean everybody in the ground and in the TV commentary box thought it was a blatant penalty and said so. Still can't believe it wasn't given unless corruption or big club biased a was not involved.
Same. Every other time I have felt a ref is just useless and shouldn't be allowed to continue (Cain, Rennie, Kettle etc). Willard is the only time I've felt a ref was influenced with decisions because of probably bribes such as cash and it looked suspicious how quickly he 'retired' after the game. Think he only lasted another season. Almost like the FA found something out about him and forced him to retire in a ultimatum.
Just have and can't find that quote? The first bit i've seen. Where have you got this from? I'm going to go with Facebook...??? He admitted booking someone who asked to be booked which is out of order but can't see any news articles on what you've posted which like Churton said would've sent media outlets into overdrive.
Well I take it all back. It's a picture of someone with a quote, so it must be true. What was I thinking
