  1. The new narrative is let's all feel sorry for Michael Oliver because despite Michael Oliver's persistent incorrect actions …… Michael Oliver's the real victim here. So let's rally around and protect Michael Oliver for the good of football. SMDH.

  2. This feels forced. This stinks of the PGMOL complaining to either sky or the FA and them making pundits do this. This doesn't feel like a natural response to yesterday. Those decisions were horrendous and they need calling out. Lewis-Skelley tripped a guy and got a straight red? Meanwhile up the road Enciso knees Endo in the jaw, follows through with his whole body, and only gets a yellow. Amateur officiating. No consistency

  3. The issue that I haven’t seen many people talk about is that the poor officiating doesn’t just have an effect on the single result and that’s all. It can lead to a manager losing their job or players missing out on x,y and z. A controversial decision on the final day of the season could lead to a team getting relegated and having to let go of staff on the business side who have nothing to do with the match being played

    Edit: i am not a pro abuse. I think critiquing isn’t the answer either like Jamie suggests. It needs to be real accountability.

  4. The conspiracy stuff is too far, but otherwise, I don't think the criticism of refereeing standards is out of order at all… You can't stop people talking. And it isn't just fans, it is former players too. I'm tired of some pundits dismissing criticism completely, rather than strongly advocating for change. It isn't personal (some do make it so), it is about getting better. Surely Jamie can get behind that.

  5. Nonsense. When you have a system to ensure that the margin for error is slim and still consistently fail then the rational conclusion is nothing but corruption. Save the league now before it is too late

  6. Most fans don't think it's a conspiracy against their team, they just think the refereeing is so inconsistent it can't just be down to incompetence. Whether there's match fixing, spot betting, backhanders etc. something is off

  7. Why don’t var just help them out more
    When Michael Oliver sent arsenal player off var could have step in and told Michael Oliver you got it wrong look at the monitor Wtf there’s 3 other refs in the var boot

  8. Surprise surprise once the briefing from Howard and his little band of crappy men has been passed over. We have this puppet come out and talk about the ref and the game. Not a single word before. Not one. Plonkers. The whole lot of yous.

  9. Honestly, this is a combo of social media and probably 70% of the fans in attendance on a match being of below average intelligence. Jamie is right on this.

  10. If this is the opposite way round, Liverpool are getting these horrible decisions he’d be sitting their with a sour bake saying something has to change we need reform now
