Beholder Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 No doubt in my mind that ref was paid off. But the fa will never do anything about match fixing. Very hard to prove and much easier to pretend it doesn't happen. They have too much to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve spent years taking the mock out of the Pigs for stuff like this, and now we’re at it. Incredible stuff. What’s the alternative?

To be fair though, the ref in the Birmingham game was shocking and we got a red reversed from that. Whilst invariably nothing will come from this, at least someone has given it a go. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls Loyal Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I will be writing to the Football League this morning and copying the FA too. This is not about getting the game replayed. Clearly that will never happen. But match fixing destroys the whole game and makes it completely pointless going to matches. Just look at the problems that the Italian authorities have had in trying to root out bribery and corruption.. The Foul Count stats from yeterday do no lie and the 16 - 1 figure is very disturbing. At the very least it might cause some enquiry into the relationship between Swarbrick and Aston Villa FC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wellbeaten-the-owl Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 If ref has been paid off most likely it's by FA who want villa back up in premier league, and us (or more correctly Hillsborough) as far away from the premier league as possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salmonbones Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 I think you'd get more luck writing to the newspapers. Collectively they could get something done if they were persistent enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebowl Yell Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Sheffield United fans: protest every thing that goes wrong at the club/often takes shoes off for no reason whatsoever. Wednesday fans: sends letters to the FA complaining about the refs/thinks there’s a conspiracy against the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icehockeyhair98 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 1 hour ago, HOSTAGE IN PYONGYANG said: I have sent the following letter to fa@info.com It will be in the bin by now. "Dear Sirs, I would like the FA to investigate the level of officiating during the Sheffield Wednesday vs Aston Villa played at Hillsborough yesterday. I know as a paying member of the public I cannot instigate a full enquiry, but the FA, as the regulatory body should be aware of what happened at the game. Firstly the amount of fouls awarded was somewhat disproportionate. 16 to 1. I find this very strange. I am aware that refereeing is a difficult job to do, but 16 to 1 seems to suggest one team were 16 times more, shall we say physical, than the other. This was not the case. Secondly the overall standard of the officials was somewhat one-sided. I have never written to the FA before, as in the past I have assumed the referee had made poor judgements, as we all do. Sadly that cannot be said of the referee in yesterdays games, as the decision making was consistently poor. I look forward to your response. Regards" Oh come on! I know there where bad decisions, but where starting to sound likes Blunts..v Terez era. Let's just move on Upwards and onwards. UTO X 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I regularly read forums from other clubs as entertainment and no word of a lie every single club has fans who think: A) they always get the worst decisions against them and them alone. B) there’s some sort of conspiracy to keep them down C) if they have a major rival then point B is something to do with them (Man City are big on this) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post sonofbert2 Posted February 25, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted February 25, 2018 I've just written a letter to the FA and FL. Dear FA/FL On behalf of the majority of Wednesdayites I would like to apologise for any cringeworthy letters or emails you have already received, or are about to, from my fellow supporters who are deluded enough to think that writing to you set of bentbastards will achieve anything other than making the rest of us look like sadtwats too. Yours sincerely SOB2 PS The referee for the game the letters refer to was indeed a shitcunt but you probably know that anyway. 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogerwyldesmullet Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Look. It might not be something you would do, but fair play to any fan who watches all the matches and has been driven to write/ send a missile to the governing body. Does anybody think the Italian fixing scandal would have come to light without attention bring drawn to it? I mean - it has been known for players to take bribes tha nos.

Tell 'em the ref was a bentprick and they may combine the two subjects. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
