If they are aware then why can't it be corrected at the time.
Yeah, nah, yeah, nah, yeah, nah, yeah but naaaaah.

Can't have that no can we?

Yesterday I was fuming early on in our match when the ref was letting the Spurs players get away with clattering our lads. So when we gave it back to the Spurs lot and he kept his cards in his pocket I give him a round of applause.

Fans want to see consistency. Parity. Regardless of which team is on the pitch the rules show be administered unilaterally and equally.

Sadly we'd have to remove the human element from decision making entirely to remove the bias to the top clubs.

Whilst it ain't going away anytime soon, the job of the PGMOL etc is to reduce the variable between the good refs and the bad ones.

Are we going to let the game play or are we going to be pedantic? We all want a free flowing game as a spectator, we all want the players to be safe from dangerous play. That is all. We really don't want the ref thinking they are centre of attention or VAR altering the course of a match (cough cough) PSG Away.

This is the reality in which we exist. All we can do as a fan base and wider football supporter community across all the clubs is keep hammering the PGMOL, EPL, FA and officials to take accountability for their blatant favouritism and poor standards of officiation!
