PREMIER LEAGUE, CORRUPT AS FUCK

I hope it's not corrupt, but it certainly appears that way at times. It's definitely inconsistent and the more they use VAR (or don't use it) the more I question it. Today we had VVD kicking out at someone and got away scot free. I was distracted by a long phone for most of the 2nd half and I'm not sure what yellow cards were dished out. But in the earlier Chelsea match 3 players were booked for delaying the restart of play, 1 for disputing a decision and the manager was booked for dissent. Whilst I agree with them being punished, it's ridiculous that VVD got away with purposely kicking someone.
Whilst it's so easy to pick up yellow cards I think the number of yellow cards prior to a ban should be raised - or maybe the more trivial yellows should be reduced to half a yellow. Of course if players were more disciplined they wouldn't pick up the yellow cards in the first place

This was mentioned on Radio Sheffield yesterday in Chris Wilder's post match interview. Apparently it hasn't been changed for many years and bookings are certainly easier to get these days. Makes sense to increase the number before a ban.

It was yesterday's game that got me thinking about the inconsistency of punishment by yellow card. You can get away with nothing for a foul verging on a red card but a trivial knocking the ball away to delay a restart is an automatic yellow - but even that's not the case all the time as I think there were a couple of occasions in the Liverpool match where the ball was kicked away with no punishment

I think the delayed restart (kicking the ball away) only applies if your opponent is restarting the game (their free kick etc) as you are delaying their chance/advantage which is a yellow card (though this has still been inconsistent).

Kicking the ball away on your own free kick only delays your advantage, e.g your opponent would have more time to sort their position out.
 
I've said it for ages now, the time has come for a third card (orange perhaps). The ref can dish out one, two or three cards depending on the severity of the offence

Yet in the Arsenal game their players can just scream at the officials and not get booked. One player got booked in the end after the final whistle but because like most big club players, Arsenal players think they can just surround the officials.

And yet, they were cracking down on this allegedly. Had it been Ipswich players, there would have been bookings.

Christ. Do you also do fact checks on Christmas Eve? “That’s just the flight radar 24 app playing up to kids. It’s just an emirates a380 on its way to Glasgow. Reindeer can’t fly”

Fuck yes, can't be having too much fun!
 
Clear and obvious…..yawn. It’s so clear and obvious it takes 3 or 4 mins to decide whether a big toe is ahead of someone’s bicep (oh, and as long as the sleeve isn’t over said area). Feck off Premier League & give us our game back you tw@t$.
 
What would they do with the other 2 teams though? Phase them out over a couple of seasons?

They'd do the same as when they reduced it from 22 to 20, 4 down, 1 auto promotion, 1 play-off spot. That obviously has a knock-on effect all the way down the league, so extra clubs go down from every division, with less promoted. In 94/95, the bottom division only had 22 clubs so an simply expanded to 24 like the others to take the extra two teams, but now you'd end up with two extra teams dropping to non-league unless all the other divisions were restructured too.

Prem is horrible unless you happen to be a big 6 club. Yes you love to be promoted but then reality hits when you get screwed every which way

Who are the big 6? It keeps changing every season. Are Newcastle and Forest now big 6 because Man Utd and Spurs are crap, or are they still big 6 just because?
