Not a snowballs chance in hell, is this inept or an honest mistake.
How many years have these guys been match officials. They get two games a week most weeks officiating in one way or another.
If this is their ‘level of competence’ why don’t we see this in every game.
This was the culmination of deliberate acts. Ok, everyone makes mistakes, but its nigh on impossible to make that many, unless you deliberately intend to influence the outcome of the game.
They are among the top refs in the country, (by definition of officiating prem games) so one, possibly two, both of which should have been corrected by var.
So why weren’t they. If the ref gets it wrong in the heat of the moment, ok, but var can’t hide behind that.
It’s clear to me, they could only have collaborated to create the outcome they did.
And now to find out a few days later, they were working for the same outfit who own City.
And there’s a suggestion they are not corrupt ? Give me a break !
The whole structure of the refs closed door club, needs binning now and a similar system to rugby needs implanting asap where all refs give account of their decisions and remain transparent at all times.
Clubs now need to start making claims against this current corruption to weasel out the cheats.
