Well, that makes it ok then.......
Many fans moaned about Demi doing this but since he hasn't been in the team, not one player has done it. Fine balance I know, but you definitely need someone in there that will fight those kind of battles.The lesson for any local young player is to never accept a refs decision. They will change their mind if you whinge loud enough or your angry dad threatens them with violence. Tell your loud mouth mother to up the volume because you have seen it works on the telly.
Dunno if it applies to this league but if a club err's on financial indiscretions by deducting points why don't they have the cajones to right this obvious wrong and amend the points gained/lost accordingly ? Would even put them in a better light for correcting such foul-up's.....

No they don't. They made a huge mistake, but we've all been there and done that. They need some kind of reprimand, but it needs to be proportionate.So you admit the ref and lino was completly wrong So we lose 2 points And the ref and lino need to be brought to task and struck off for the rest of the season .
That's where you and I disagree!I suppose this is the beauty of not having VAR. We are still talking about the game 5/6 days after the event.
My premiership supporting friends pretty much stop talking about their games in the couple of hours after. They can't quibble about the refereeing decisions as VAR has sucked the fun out of it.
And I wouldn't want the officials to start giving us decisions just to make up for poor refereeing decisions previously. I'd want the current refs to start upping their game and improving in their decision making, reading of the rules and reading of the game.
The majority of us saw the pull on Dackers in the ground, why not the ref. The ref has the benefit of being able to change his position. We are stuck in the same seat, standing area without being able to move with the ball.
I'm not saying the refs job is easy, but if a couple of thousand back seat drivers are saying someone is having their shirt pulled chances are it might just be the correct decision.

The problem is where does it stop?Dunno if it applies to this league but if a club err's on financial indiscretions by deducting points why don't they have the cajones to right this obvious wrong and amend the points gained/lost accordingly ?

Yes and I wish people would make the connection between castigating referees for their mistakes, abusing them, and funnily enough not having very good refs because nobody wants to do it. It's a cycle that is going to be very tough to break.No they don't. They made a huge mistake, but we've all been there and done that. They need some kind of reprimand, but it needs to be proportionate.
As it happens, I don't get this attitude. We ask referees to be more visible and admit their mistakes and when they do we throw it back in their faces. As a collective we need to be better than that; we can't have it both ways.
The standard of refs in this league i sometimes wonder if they aren't already giving decisions against a certain team to make up for errors in a previous game, and thus a vicious circle ensues which seems that more often than not we are on the end of.That's where you and I disagree!
