This is where social media can cause havoc. Surely the bit where IT mentions throw ins would make people think twice about the 2nd part being genuine.
There's nothing new in the game with somebody saying "I didn't see the incident" , Wenger says it every week. Some of the refs performances we have witnessed at Stoke over the years make it hard to believe there isn't any slight form of corruption in the game though

Always liked Halsey. Apart from a couple of mistakes made at the Brit. Fighting cancer and coming back like he did was fantastic and a credit to him. I hope the cunts wrapped up in this see the inside of a prison cel in the not too distant future. Foy first the twat and definitely Walton for stringing up Ryan with his poxy sending off! Then Scudamore please oh and Greg Dyke too...even if he hasn't done anything!

Refs will have been 'encouraged' to favour the big boys even more so now. Too much money in the brand premier league for them not to be.
I think one ref came out a while back saying it was an unwritten rule that refs didn't bring a book out when they finished. Wonder why?

It just proves what we had all worked out anyway.
That the game at this level is as bent as fuck.
We just need Geoff to come on now and defend the refs.

It was a game involving Stoke against Blackburn apparently where he was asked to say he didn't see an incident

Involving Nzonzi when he played for Blackburn ironically.

Listening to talksport before and he said that he saw it but didn't think that there was much in it. He was then told to word it differently in his report. He said he had to do it otherwise he would've been suspended

I'm not surprised. One of the oldest most corrupt old boys network. The FA stinks from top to bottom, with a few good eggs like our Malcolm Clarke feeling he needs to defend them.

H Why would anyone feel they need to defend any organisation if they are indeed truly corrupt ?, if they are corrupt which is debatable they need exposing from within, it is the only sure fire way to end corruption, whistleblowing is frowned upon mainly by the guilty who stand to lose most. It takes bollocks, backbone and conviction but it can be done.

I don't believe they know exactly what is going on. Sadly they are let down by greedy corrupt scumbags. It happens in all walks of life unfortunately. H

Finally.....somebody has the bottle to come clean!!!! The premiership "IS" bias towards the top teams, the FA "NEED" them to keep finishing within the top four... Chelsea Man Utd Man City & Arsenal/Liverpool
Because they're our best chance in the Champions League....
Last season was a total fuck up, the FA must have lost out on millions with Leicester winning the title!!!

H Corruption is corruption it should not ever be acceptable by anyone, believe me if it is going on within an organisation you are working for you will know about it, I know I left my last employment because I could no longer turn a blind eye to what was going on, I am in no way suggesting that this is the case with Malcom or indeed the FA, the truth will come out if indeed there are any issues someone with real principals will expose any wrong doing it is the way it should be.

Was he not a copper in his previous employment ? no that it would mean he was corrupt or open to that sort of thing of course. Did he also manage to book the same player three times before sending him off, I could be wrong of course !

If anyone thinks there is not bias towards the top clubs not just from refereeing, but also fixture programme, retrospective action, disciplinary measures, etc, they need to wake up and smell the coffee.
Investors in the top clubs have sunk £100millions which they are not going to sit back a watch being put at risk by a guy running around with a whistle. They are bound to take such action as they can to ensure their asset/investment is protected. We are not just talking about refs being pressurised by over 30,000 spectators shouting foul, I mean the referees are bound to be instructed in what is "in the best interests of the game" and by inference their careers.

Thread needs deleting then
It doesn't need deleting mate.
The first sentence in itself is dynamite.
Why some idiot decided to add the rest to it I've no idea, they've just succeeded in deflecting attention from what was already an astonishing admission.
