But Fulham are the little darlings of west London, everyone loves them, they are wanted back in the PL despite last seasons pathetic showing. They had the same unbelievable luck and decisions the last time they went up.
It certainly makes you think whether there are agendas, personal or greater, in play to help certain teams over others.
That’s bordering on conspiracy theory which I don’t generally give credence to but after last night, watching the worst case of cheating, yes cheating, I’ve ever seen, then there maybe something in it.

After witnessing the refs gifting a Chelsea equaliser in the 85th minute last season that was about 2 clear yards offside, losing us 3 crucial points that day, I conclude the refs have agendas. They didn’t want us or Warnock in the PL, and Chelsea needed the points.

The EFL receives numerous queries and complaints regarding individual officials’ decisions and their overall performances. While we are not always able to comment on specific incidents, we can advise that the performances of all officials are constantly monitored by way of club and match observer reports, match videos and footage received by the referees’ coaches. Matches are analysed by the Referees' Manager, a referees’ coach and the referee, and these assessments can have an impact on future appointments.
We do appreciate some decisions can be frustrating for supporters, however it is important to note that the match officials having a challenging role in trying to spot every single incident that occurs on the field of play, whether this be due to the proximity of the ball to players, the position of the referee, or other players obscuring views of the officials. The human element of the sport means referees do also make mistakes during games, just like players and managers do on a weekly basis. With only one chance to view every incident, and no benefit of replays, the modern referee has a sometimes difficult task.
In all situations the decision of the referee is final although post-match Clubs do have the opportunity to mark the referee’s performance and raise any issues with the Referees’ Manager.
We can advise that in relation to this particular fixture, the Referees’ Manager is in dialogue with the Club.
What the hell are you on ? What a disgusting thing to say
Hopefully, I took that as a flippant comment regards people who do after twitter experiences and not a direct request for him to do so. As I said ... Hopefully.

I can't imagine the ref(if you can't call him that )reading this forum. I understand everyone who was there or watching being angry about this clown of a referee, but I just thought such comments were uncalled for, joke or not.

Wow ! Hopefully action will be taken against this cheat to make sure he never refs again. Have to say everyone is rightly vilifying the ref, what about the linesman, who had a better view of the handball and the two fouls than anyone ? His performance was also beyond poor

Standard reply. I Had the exact same response when I complained to them about James Linington after his diabolical performance in the Swans v Scunthorpe game 2009.

I'm not saying this as a pop at your lot but I'm convinced that Mike Dean gave you a pen at Ninian Park for the 2-2 was an attempt to keep the peace. Probably told that a draw would be the best outcome from a police point of view.

Probably get stick but I can't help feeling it.
I’ve always felt the same. That decision was so blatantly for that reason it couldn’t be for anything else.
Refs quite obviously can create a win for either team, last night being the most perfect performance for that. Look how when a side get a corner and the ref gives it but with a doubt in his mind. He’ll always spot something going on in the area which would ordinarily be let go. They can do almost what they want but in last night;s game I hope he made enough out of it to make it worth it for him!!
