What about when they admit to protecting their mate who is having a tough day by bending the rules? Is that different? Is that ok? And do you believe the example I gave above is the only time it’s ever happened?

it’s not “cheating” to ensure a result that will help the team they support.

You have to get past the whole “league , referees” etc are out to get us

They are human - they make mistakes , some are poor and make more than others. Forest aren’t the only club hard done by because of refs making mistakes

I can see both sides of the Forest argument if I’m honest, but the amount of the fine baffles me.

The amount is peanuts in today’s game, if the FA really wanted to send a message about what happened then points is the only thing that would work.

There are big issues with the Officials and we keep accepting their mistakes because they are human, maybe the guy who put out the tweet made a mistake, after all, they are only human.
Agree but nothings changed.
If anything it’s got worse with VAR as it’s highlighted.

It's his failing. His arrogance is off the scale. He plays for himself. He'd be unbeatable if he played the team game.

I’m minded to agree. Great player, but these last few months he seems to have grown into an extremely arrogant young man. He even seems to look at team mates during games with a degree of contempt.

Not the worst 1st half, far better shape, still a couple of daft mistakes though!

It was a decent start been then drifted away - nothing is coming from the right hand side , all the good work is triangles with Bellingham , TAA and Grealish and they are creating small openings , Gomes looks a very tidy player ( why on earth did United let him go ) - Palmer is annoymous on the right


And that’s a sitter missed

To be fair Walker was pants and TAA lost his man too for the cross. Jack was the only one challenging :)
Not really Walker has just made a brilliant run ,one two with Palmer but he didn’t play it and lost the ball.

That’s the problem imo .
Walker was then so far out of position because Palmer made a mess of it.
