I am now strictly of the belief that referee's are no longer their to officiate the game but are their to manage them. They are the soul person who can affect the game outside of any actual football being played. We regularly see decisions that are perplexing to the average football fan but it is soon washed away with a couple of comments from the pundits we listen to. Then, unless there is an outcry from the vast media sections who align to certain clubs (ie. something goes against them) then it's brushed under the carpet and left for it 'evening itself out'.

This is a multi-billion pound industry with certain clubs having a lions share of the support who pays for it. This cannot be underestimated and whatever people feel about how the industry is run, that kind of money will always have an impact, on or off the pitch.

If it is so predictable why are not all you clued up people fleecing the bookies and bothering to watch.

That is true, but Rodgers would have been crying to the world if they lost & had 3 pens in their favour. He would be complaining that they should have had 4, plus a red card. He has already complained that Henderson's sending off was 'harsh'.

That means 2 points for each team. The only loser here is Chelsea who would have been on the same amount of points as both us and Liverpool.

I don't think you would be here moaning about how we have been cheated if you knew it was going to happen,but I am a green,inexperienced novice who knows fuckall about how the real world works so it's a mystery.

Come on Raggers, who's moaning as I certainly ain't. Sounds like you're moaning about the non-moaners who are having a discussion.

Its how normal people communicate, they discuss things, whether it was something they thought would happen or whether it was completely out of the ordinary. You should try it some time.
