We mustn’t question the @prorefofficial officials integrity though!

He about putting the brakes on Rip-off energy companies, water companies, supermarkets, just about everything in England?

🚨 Chris Kavanagh's controversial refereeing decisions:
❌ 2022: Rodri handball vs Everton, no penalty awarded. PGMOL later apologised.
❌ 2023: Ødegaard handball vs Liverpool, no penalty awarded. Howard Webb later admitted it was an error.
⚽ 2024: Stones' late winner vs Wolves, allowed despite Bernardo Silva being offside near the goalkeeper.
❌ 2025: Van Dijk's goal vs Man City — disallowed. Independent PL panel ruled it should have stood.
🟥 2026: Gravenberch sent off vs Man City.

How long is the stench of the “sham” going to corrode the meaning, worth, and very essence of the Premier League?
Listening to commentary about Manchester City’s players matching the defiance of their ownership and triumphing in adversity.
Listening to fans chorusing the names of the men running the club, wearing masks or displaying banners of their faces and jibing: “We’re Man City, we’ll cheat when we want.”
Victory being framed as “a lovely moment,” a show of togetherness as though some grave injustice has been imposed on City, rather than their hierarchy being found by an independent commission to have orchestrated financial doping on an industrial scale.
Their opponents and the rest of us wondering if any of this actually matters now and how much of it ever did?
There can be no business as usual pretence. We need a full stop to the absurdity.

In the last month, City have had an offside goal given against United, an Elliot Anderson handball not given against Sunderland, Gravenberch sent off for two soft yellows against Liverpool, and they’ve been found guilty of industrial scale cheating. The Premier League is a farce.

Jérémy Doku is a sensational talent.
He cost Man City just £55m of the £900m they corruptly accrued in the "cheating years".

This always failed the "smell" test. Now in light of the announcement yesterday, the relationship between Michael Oliver, these officials & Abu Dhabi regime needs further scrutiny.

No hay multa económica que pueda compensar las trampas financieras que permitieron al Manchester City ganar su primera Champions, dominar la Premier, fichar todo lo que han querido y, sobre todo, perjudicar a sus rivales.
Han manchado el fútbol. Deben pagar las consecuencias.

Wow. So the Kremlin spends around £1.3bn each year on manipulating information. Think about that. Let it sink it. And ask yourself how you might be being manipulated by a hostile power.

Riddle me this. If somebody donates £36 million to a political party and £5 million to its leader, how is the £5 million not political? Asking for a parliamentary standards commissioner.

Convicted in the US.
Pardoned by Trump.
Record donation to Reform.
Crypto-billionaires. Criminals. People who think they can buy and sell British politics.
That’s who Reform stand for.
That’s who they’ve always stood for.

First it was a hoax
Then entrapment
Then just ‘contractors’ mouthing off
Now: ‘I wasn’t listening’
He was there. He was on camera. He was part of the conversation. He knew
We’re back! #bbclaurak Farage tells me he ‘frankly wasn’t listening’ when his former chief of staff and undercover reporters were discussing donations of thousands of pounds
This 👇🏼
This is why we, journalists, presenters & pundits should be questioning refs integrity. They apply rules depending on who is playing (it’s not always about the big 6 - depends on the official).
It’s also why #HowardWebb should go & why his position should be untenable.
Craig Pawson demonstrating the big 6 rules in two weeks , last week he couldn't see Harry Maguires slam dunk and this week he sees a non existent handball against non big 6 Forest
