The Referees or The Twelfth Man

Not really the world we live in anymore, I feel.

I doubt they are fixing the betting market.
Its not a huge leap of faith to think they could be influenced by those involved in that market.

I meanā€¦
There is at least a chance that or two of them are jealous of the money the players earn?

Drugs are rife in British society. I am not at all surprised about a ref snorting blow, as noted above.

The alleged grooming thingā€¦crikey.

Good to see football has its house in orderā€¦

The more this goes on the seedier and damaging it gets.
If PMGOL were aware of either video, then the house of cards needs to be pushed over. If there is a grain of truth to most recent rumour then criminal proceedings need to be considered.

Anywayā€¦

Webb needs to resign.
All refs in PL suspended, if its clear that they knew what was going on.
Refs from lower divisions appointed to PL.
Committee of ex players, managers and supporters appointed, with paid executive to oversee affairs in new regime.
Gallagher, Dean et all to cease TV workā€¦this to ensure that refereeing isnt seen as glamorous or overly important.
The job description goes back to basics. Ref the game fairly, then fuck off home for your tea.

Most of that wonā€™t happenā€¦

Liverpool need to demand an apology from Webb/PMGOL. Then they need to advise the pricks that certain refs are not going to be tolerated as officials at our games in future.
Now is an opportunity to nail these fuckers.

Has this been verified anywhere? This is the fucking big one for me.

Honestly, Iā€™d just wait for the conclusions of everything at this stage. Not worth getting yourself worked up over something that was first broken by that unmentionable.

Itā€™s apparently in the video leaked to the Sun. They have it as an exclusive, but obviously Iā€™m not going to go and look at it on their site.

But, yes itā€™s genuine. I saw a description of the content on Football365

Formed in 2001. Was it a good idea to put an ā€šindependent companyā€™ in charge?

Not sure if other big leagues have a PGMOL too. In the Bundesliga referees work for the FA and they all have their daytime job too.

This really does have the feel of a huge scandal brewing.

Coke can be a drug done solo, but youā€™re in a pretty shit place when you get to that level. It is far more commonly a social drug and so it is inconceivable to me that his drug use was not both well known within the PGMOL but also something many of them participated in with him

Itā€™s really odd in a way, I hadnā€™t thought of them being off their tits.

For Coote to assert Liverpool wonā€™t win the PL when he has virtually no involvement in our matches seems strange. Iā€™ll assume it wasnā€™t just his point of view given how we were playing at the time.
It suggests a number of people had decided on it.

First thing I thought of was Marriner doing our game at Southampton a few years back.
4 or 5 really dodgy decisions that night but what I remember most was his grid when he gave them a free-kick in the first few minutes which they scored from. Looked like he might have been on the bugle.

Thereā€™s another one breaking but I canā€™t verify the original source so I wonā€™t post a link. Headline is ā€œtried to organise drugs partyā€ before Tot v Man City game as 4th Official

Just to clarify: the allegation is that before kick off and at half time he was trying to organise a drugs party. Rather than trying to organise a drugs party to occur before the match.

Itā€™s not making it betterā€¦ At half time all he was thinking about was cokeā€¦FFSā€¦ And this is going to help feed into what will become PGMOLā€™s narrative that ā€œheā€™s got a serious drugs problem. We arenā€™t compromisedā€.

Looks like a shit hits the fan situation for PGMOL.
Popcorn time for me.
