What An Incredible Fluke XXXIV!

In less than one week...

The PGMOB were forced to take Lee Mason off the Man City/WBA match last night fearing a crowd reaction to his dire performance on the Man Utd match at the weekend.

Alex Ferguson following the Wigan game: "I thought Phil Dowd had a disappointing night, I must say."

Kenny Dalglish refers to "inexcusable" and "unexplainable" decisions against his side.

Mohamed Al Fayed says referees are "too easily influenced by the more powerful clubs and individual owners", and wants to let the public know "the transparency of the processes by which referees are allocated to games".

Mark Hughes: "We are desperately disappointed with the performance of the referee... Managers have lost faith in referees."

Roberto Martinez: "I go to a lot of football and I don't want to go to a game and see that the wrong calls are given so clearly." He went on to describe the performance of the officials as "disgusting" and "horrific".

The Guardian on Arsenal/Man City: "Mario Balotelli should be off after a horrendous leg-breaker of a challenge on Alex Song... Presumably Martin Atkinson didn't see it."

The Guardian on Spurs/Norwich: "To the vein-bulging fury of Lambert, though, there was no penalty award. He sprinted down the tunnel to remonstrate with Phil Dowd."

The Guardian on Fulham/Chelsea: "Mark Clattenburg was well positioned and awarded the penalty instantly, though not for Murphy's studs-up challenge but instead for Kelly's vague misdemeanour. All were confused and Fulham deeply aggrieved."

Football is Fixed exposes the full extent of the 'bias' in favour of Manchester United from three PGMOB referees Chris Foy, Peter Walton and Lee Mason, who, between them, have only overseen 1 Man Utd defeat in 47 matches.

...

Meanwhile Roy Hodgson utilises The Guardian to inform us that Premier League referees are "probably the best in Europe."
The PGMOB have given West Brom Jonathan Moss as referee again next weekend (see below).

And Marina Hyde in the same rag attacks the people complaining about the state of refereeing with the following nonsense: "But I can't bring myself to feel that it's anything other than a cocktail of misplaced victimhood and low-level bullying – the unsporting pique of the poor loser, doled out by people who demand respect at every turn but see no reason to afford it to others."
And we can't bring ourselves to take seriously anyone who is so in awe of power that she has worked for Murdoch and accommodated Piers Morgan.

Furthermore...
The Guardian output is overseen by the West Brom club agent John Colquhoun - rubbish in, rubbish out.

And on the subject of Jonathan Moss, this is from our blog post of January 28th...

"Take the previously mentioned Jonathan Moss - the 'coincidences' regarding the number of West Bromwich Albion games that he gets to officiate and the immensely peculiar tilt in his decision-making in those matches.

Since being promoted to the PGMOB Select Group in the summer, Mr Moss has been referee or 4th Official six times in 26 West Brom matches.
In the light of his historical decision-making in West Brom matches, is this valid or wise?
Seven times Mr Moss had refereed WBA, 7 victories, 4 penalties in favour and none against, 3 sendings off in favour and none against. Then on his first Select Group appearance refereeing the Throstles, he gave them a penalty in a highly suspicious Carling Cup Tie at Everton."

But...

Football en masse thinking one thing...
... and the professional gamblers associated with The Guardian stating another.

What a weird fluke!
