Everyone goes on about the likes of Suarez diving, Everton time wasting Rooneys late night OAP wanderings etc. etc. the behavior of players on the pitch and how bad an influence on the young players (8 to 16 year olds) that these type of things have on them. However what about the bad refereeing decisions which we have seen lately and not the marginal ones the blatant nailed on decisions that should have been given and weren't. I ask this as whilst talking to my fatha a very wise old man for a caulker/burner he got on about the officials who have been banned from all PL games till the end of the season the Chelsea v Wigan ones (I think it is). He asked what sort of message does that send to the kids when you play your heart out but, do not get the decisions which you should. The kids in my opinion the ones who will be the future of not only our team but, many others will become disillusioned with the game and think what is the point. This could bring on the cheating in those kids as they will see it as the only way to get decisions that they should have or, worse still they'll bin the game altogether.
Honestly mate, don't blame the refs... Many other things to blame... The money, The pressure of winning at all costs.. Then the clubs, where are they learning all these tricks, and who is pressurising them into doing such things? Win at all costs, and the ref's are getting ****ed over by the powers that be, and camera's questioning every decision.
Just remembered having a discussion about how players conduct themselves and how certain people openly advocated cheating.
