Mike Dean adds fuel to Wayne Rooney's conspiracy about Man Utd and Man City - Mirror Online https://share.google/C5kI8hbRRZf5wfJfr Interesting theory. When you look back, it was odd.
Don't think there was any conspiracy myself its just Utd being Utd. How many games have they won due to poor officiating and timekeeping, How many referees did they try to bully back in the day. The only conspiracy in football is how the **** did Rooney get to manage football teams. He was a great player but lacks knowledge and charisma, has very little likeability factor and loves shagging grannies.
I'm not sure they're implying any sort of conspiracy, more just the QPR players found out they were safe and stopped giving a ****. You can argue it's not good for the integrity of the game, but it's human nature at the end of the day.
We've seen this over the years when players are "on the beach". I remember Newcastle played West Ham at home, win and they were safe. During the game Kevin Nolan was about 6 yards out and just blasted the ball wide..West Ham had no intention of winning that game. Went on for years.
