One day,there is going to be a conspiracy theory uncovered in the Premier League regarding our "Elite List" referees.
There is too much money changing hands in the higher echelons of football for certain people of character to take a backhander. If any journalist worth their salt (and that includes Pie & Mash Fatboy Samuels) dug far enough,they'd uncover a right old can of worms...
Call me paranoid,but certain things have happened in a number of matches,mostly in the Premier League,where distinct advantages have occured due to some extremely iffy performances in the middle.But nothing's new.Even nearly 20 years back,Dave Bassett bemoaned the fact that we'd gone nearly 2yrs at Bramall Lane without being given a penalty.
Then,take into consideration Stuart Attwell and Grant Hegley,two of the most inept custodians of the whistle I've ever seen. If they'd done that in the Sunday Imperial,they'd have never got a game again,but both are still on the list. If I did my job so badly,it'd be me escorted by security off the premises,personal belongings in a bin bag,a P45 and P60,and go fuck yersen - but these 2 duckeggs are being paid around £400-600 per match for shoddy workmanship.
Isn't it about time that these people were taken to task,and people like Keith Hackett given the sack? Give Alan Sugar the job of running the refereeing panel - he'd soon get it sorted...
