    Are we too honest in the box ?

    I posed this question very recently and wondered if the Hendrick incident today has strengthened my case by saying that we arê too honest. Look at Dele Alli last week. He went down like a dying swan and the ref had no hesitation pointing to the spot. I still believe that referees have something against the lesser clubs and had that been a Rashford, Salah or Aguero ,it would have been given . Anyone else agree?

    When a respected EPL referee like Mark Halsey suggests the games are fixed you have to sit up and take notice...

    if we were divers....I think we'd be done for diving - Malwayne....if the decisions aren't Supposed to go our way, then they won't, no matter what - as BT - theres a way things are meant to be - it's planned that way....in that any deviations that could affect the prearranged outcome - are suppressed along the way.

    Don't think its got anything to do with being honest, we are governed by poor Refs, not just Burnley but every Club, on MOTD the other week they showed the first 3 games and had 11 discussions on bad Refereeing decisions or non decisions.

    Although having seen Burnley's games and add the total up, we have been given the short stick too many times by Refs, and BT's post certainly hits the spot in some way.
