The only sensible thing would be to make only the blue onside line that is drawn along the defender thicker so it overlaps the red offside line.

If they were legit and not bent then we would see and hear how they came to whatever outcome, they would be mic'ed up, and the refs allowed to be questioned and interviewed........fucking corrupt bastards. Just wait for next season if they can see we are going for the title, you'll see. Fulham Broadway 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesper 30,170 Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Manchester City attacker still has what it takes to rattle opposition defenders By John Percy He is the most capped player in England's squad, and remains highly admired by Gareth Southgate, so why is there a sense that Raheem Sterling is yesterday's man? Sterling is still only 26, behind only Harry Kane with the number of goals for his country, yet the Manchester City forward will head into Euro 2020 with doubts over whether he should be included against Croatia on Sunday. While much of the focus has been on the likes of Mason Mount, Phil Foden and Jack Grealish, Sterling has rather slipped out of the national conscience after a difficult season at club level. There was the heavy touch in the Champions League final against Chelsea, surrendering possession to Reece James, while there is uncertainty over his future under Pep Guardiola. Sterling deserves more respect. His control and possession of the ball may not be as polished as the likes of Mount or Grealish, and his game remains a little chaotic at times, but he is still a proven operator at international level. Southgate has few players with the direct approach of Sterling, the willingness to drive forward and break defensive lines. His finishing has never been outstanding, but his style of play still puts defenders on the back-foot. He is also versatile, capable of playing on either the left or right, and possesses the tournament experience that many of the squad do not have. On Sunday, there is a huge opportunity for Sterling to remind the nation of his talent, and why Southgate remains such a supporter.

These gongs are thrown around like confettti and become meaningless when given privileged people in sports and entertainment. I know a young lad who used to do his shift at work and then go straight to the FB warehouse to do his voluntary work for a 3 hours. It's people like him who should be getting some kind of recognition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bc PL refs and their entire organisation are a corrupted snake pit that is hugely incompetent as well. They are so busy with sucking up their favourite teams pool and manure that they forget what their actual job is at which they are shitty anyway.
