I’ll be honest, for years I’ve cringed at conspiracy posts and theories but this season there have been what seems an abnormal amount of poor ref decisions. When incidents like head butts and punches on our players go unpunished by review panels it does leave you scratching your head for an answer.
As minor as it might be, Bamford was pushed from behind yesterday, was it enough for a penalty, probably not but I’ve seen them given, did it warrant a yellow, certainly not.
Spygate Bielsa sent a scout to watch from a public road, he was not tooled up as claimed by Lampard, he did not break in through a fence, he was asked to move on as confirmed by Derbyshire police. No rules were broken yet Leeds fined £200k
I’ve come to the conclusion that too many refs are poor in general, they make split decisions based on recent reputation for example Bamfords yellow yesterday.
No I don’t believe the EFL instruct refs to give us a hard time but I do believe that in their decision making they come down harder on us than they should and I believe many times it’s been the influence of Shaun Harvey.
I dare say if I watched any other team I’d feel pretty much the same, it’s easy for any fan to ignore anything that goes in their favour and reflect on the bad decisions, Billy makes a lot of valid points in his post, it’s just passionate posting.
