As bad as ever this season but every decision 'appears' to be for the biggest clubs
It's not as bad as ever it's worse than ever, in the past few years there was a few major mess-ups over the weekend now it's that each day and in some cases that in a game.
 
It really isn't that simple though and never will be. Football is neither a contact sport nor a non-contact sport, it's a limited contact sport. Nobody wants a situation where it's a foul every time you touch an opposition player so there will always be grey areas.
You can touch an opposing player, but you shouldn't be allowed to grab his shirt. Wonder if they'd allow that in athletics. Might make the 800m more interesting. Do they allow it in rugby, for instance to stop a player running clear to score a try? Genuine question, i can't be bothered to look it up.

Those 2 examples are exactly why i was making the point about if not being that simple. The 800m is a non contact sport and rugby is a contact sport, the rules in football aren’t as clear cut as either because you can have some contact but only a limited amount, they don’t work as comparisons which was kind of the point.
 
'Bin it' is the only sensible thing

Opaque rules written for the purposes of interpretation for officials who are drunk on their own officialdom, whose subjective decisions are then subject to further interpretation by officials who need to justify their existence with further subjective interpretation, but only if its on certain areas of the pitch and the original official has done either nothing or something first, which then changes the bar for overturning the original subjective decision which is in no way, a good way, to deal with actual, factual occurrences.
