The twitter thread was only scratching the surface, their is virtually an example every game we have played this season. It gets beyond the odd refereeing mistake. When was the last time a refs or linesman mistake gave us a dodgy goal or penalty? Can you remember any examples, I can't.
I can't remember any opposition fans coming on social media saying they were robbed by a dodgy goal of ours.
True or not folks?
I believe that refs have a mindset before the game that we are going to be an anti footy team and thus jump on anything we do and turn a blind eye to the "footballing" sides misdemeanours.
Look at the hammer Smudge and Tree get from opposition players. I am not saying they are angels but they get a disproportionate number of fouls given against them rather than for them. Weds night was a classic example of how Smudge is treated in this league. The poor bugger has his shirt ripped off him and no fecker notices.
I thought when Stevie left us that refs might be a bit more lenient to us with him not in their ear all the time. How wrong I was. If owt they are worse with Warne because they know he won't make much of a fuss about their poor decisions.
