They spend their lives trying to reach the top of their chosen profession, they're assessed constantly, and the idea that they might throw that all away by giving some dubious decisions to Dagenham (or any of our opponents, for that matter) is naïve and paranoid.
    Obviously its not naïve and paranoid because they have got the favourable decisions in the tight matches, which have given them the points. In theory they should be neutral , but there is no truly neutral person alive, we are all influenced by some degree, to socialisation, and more specifically media presence. As i have stated before this is what i think is happening in this case. It's the halo effect, where things or people that have high social status, get the benefit of the doubt in 50/50 situations, where regular people do not.
