Bobby Madley's decision, on Monday night, not to award a penalty to West Brom brings into question again the issue of 'big club bias'. Had that been at the other end would a penalty have been given ? I suspect so. Referees don't help themselves because in the second half he awards a penalty to Arsenal which, in my opinion, 50% of referees would have given and 50% wouldn't. I have no problem with that but surely Madley would have realised at half time that he had made a mistake but still proceeds to give Arsenal a far more dubious penalty. Playing advantage was no excuse because had he given the penalty he would have had to send the player off leaving Arsenal probably a goal down and having to play the rest of the game with ten men. A different result would therefore have been a very strong probability. There is very little doubt that 99.9% of observers thought it a shocking decision and does beg the question that referees show bias towards the so called 'bigger clubs'.
