No it's not, you are being extremely loose in your definition of corruption there.If a referee is changing the way he referees the game based on controversy, press coverage or other attention, that is corruption.

It certainly is. It would be completely dishonest to referee in that way.No it's not, you are being extremely loose in your definition of corruption there.
If a referee is changing the way he referees the game based on controversy, press coverage or other attention, that is corruption.
If the press is saying for example, a ref doesn't give any penalties that other refs do, and he allows that to influence him into giving a soft penalty in his next game that he wouldn't have otherwise given, that's dishonesty and corruption. He would be deliberately treating the incident differently because of an outside influence.How can someone be dishonest over something subjective?
Yep and that's why Man Ure will go another 10 years without winning the league, employing rubbish managers.Uh, yes I would.
Absolute rubbish, you continue to come out with some real whoppers on here.If the press is saying for example, a ref doesn't give any penalties that other refs do, and he allows that to influence him into giving a soft penalty in his next game that he wouldn't have otherwise given, that's dishonesty and corruption.

My definition matches what you've put there. Doesn't have to be bribery. It's dishonest conduct.Absolute rubbish, you continue to come out with some real whoppers on here.
Dictionary definition - dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery.
Simsini definition - Whatever I want it to be.
Rubbish it's not a 1 word definition, it's like you have pulled out the part that really matters, you know like bribery. It is not corrupt to be dishonest that's just being dishonest, it is corrupt to be dishonest with bribery, you need a payment of some form for it to be corruption.My definition matches what you've put there. Doesn't have to be bribery. It's dishonest conduct.
If an outside influence affects the referee's decision, and he's not basing his decision solely on what he sees in that instance, it's dishonest and corrupt.
There's a reason why bribery and corruption have different legal definitions. Even your definition uses the word typically. Maybe look that up.Rubbish it's not a 1 word definition, it's like you have pulled out the part that really matters, you know like bribery. It is not corrupot to be dishonest, it is corrupt to be dishonest with bribery for example.
You have just reinforced what I put above - Whatever you want it to be
So, if someone ever criticises your performance at work, you'll simply never change. Just consistently annoy people?If the press is saying for example, a ref doesn't give any penalties that other refs do, and he allows that to influence him into giving a soft penalty in his next game that he wouldn't have otherwise given, that's dishonesty and corruption.

Who's doing the criticising? My boss, football clubs, football fans or the press?So, if someone ever criticises your performance at work, you'll simply never change. Just consistently annoy people?
Yep and your use of corruption is wrong, you are the very reason there are so many issues with the issues we have, it's full of hyperbole and fan angst rather than correct and accurate. The issues are so big and already a problem we do not need fans like you and your rubbish muddying the water.There's a reason why bribery and corruption have different legal definitions.

The reason we have the issues we have is because referees could hide behind the fact that they could only make a split second decision in real time in the past, and were given more leeway. Now they are still making howlers when reviewing video footage from multiple angles. While the laws of the game could definitely be clearer, the best solution is maximum transparency. Remove all doubt. I've said it before, broadcast the live audio and video as it happens in the stadium and on the TV feed. Rugby still has to make subjective calls and it works.Yep and your use of corruption is wrong, you are the very reason there are so many issues with the issues we have, it's full of hyperbole and fan angst rather than correct and accurate.

The minute you add the tin foil hat to your argument it gives those in charge an excuse to just ignore you. They look at you and go, these people are idiots. Every time you say refferrees are corrupt and bent and dishonest and cheat you will be ignored because most people do not believe that rubbish. What they think is they need better training, clearer rules (handball rule for example is dreadful) and better behaviour, players to stop diving and trying to con the referee.
There is so much wrong with reffeeing and Var at the moment we don't need the ridiculous corruption and dishonest rubbish that is not true.
The referees are reviewed each game, pretty sure there is a referee accessor at the games. At the weekend, the big decisions will have been discussed, what was correct, what was not. No idea what was said, but suspect at least the 3rd decision not to review the penalty was incorrect.Who's doing the criticising? My boss, football clubs, football fans or the press?
The gift from the referee for the 2nd goal was laughable.Let's mess about in our own penalty area and see how many goals we can give away cheaply!
That lasted wellBrighton away is tricky for City. I fancy arsenal this season. City aren't quite on it this year.
