We mustn’t question the @prorefofficial officials integrity though!

He about putting the brakes on Rip-off energy companies, water companies, supermarkets, just about everything in England?

This is why we, journalists, presenters & pundits should be questioning refs integrity. They apply rules depending on who is playing (it’s not always about the big 6 - depends on the official).
It’s also why #HowardWebb should go & why his position should be untenable.
Craig Pawson demonstrating the big 6 rules in two weeks , last week he couldn't see Harry Maguires slam dunk and this week he sees a non existent handball against non big 6 Forest

Glad he does. Can’t say I feel the same.
NEW: Virgil van Dijk on Liverpool transfers: “I fully trust the club to make the right decisions” thisisanfield.com/2026/08/vi…

I don’t think the fact that Chelsea shopped themselves or that it is different ownership, they should have still been docked the 6 points and given a two year transfer ban.
Also it should have been in place before the start of this summer’s transfer window.
Richard Masters should explain why Everton were hit with an immediate 10-point PSR deduction (reduced to 6), while Chelsea's extensive self-reported historical financial issues have produced no sporting sanction
Rules applied selectively destroy trust
Transparency is overdue

Someone’s clutching at straws, trying to cover their ar$e.
#Infantino position must be untenable.
He has to go.
FIFA President Gianni Infantino:
“I have seen the public comments regarding the decision of the independent FIFA Disciplinary Committee related to the suspension of Folarin Balogun, and I would like to reiterate a fundamental principle of FIFA’s governance.
“FIFA’s judicial bodies are independent. They operate autonomously, apply the FIFA Disciplinary Code, and decide cases based on the applicable regulations and the specific facts before them. Their independence is essential to the credibility and integrity of football, and this must always be respected.
“Yes, I regularly discuss matters related to the FIFA World Cup with the President of the United States, and on this matter, I did receive a call from President Donald Trump, just as I receive calls from heads of state, government officials, football stakeholders and business executives from around the world on many different issues. During our conversation, I explained that there was an ongoing legal process involving FIFA’s independent judicial bodies and that the case would be decided in due course by the competent bodies. That is how FIFA’s system works, and it is a principle that I will always uphold.
“I read the decisions of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee when they are issued. Sometimes I am surprised by them. Sometimes I agree with them, and sometimes I disagree.
“What I always do, however, is respect those decisions and the autonomy of the bodies that make them. Whether we personally like a decision or not is irrelevant. Respect for independent institutions and the rule of law is what protects the integrity of our competitions and the credibility of FIFA at all times.”

Hey @FIFAcom #Infantino can we get Quansah’s red card suspended for a year?
That is that how it works isn’t it or do we need the King or Prime Minister to ask?

The problem with the reasoning that the handball was deemed accidental as the ball also came off Bryan Mbeumo’s hip before it hit his arm is that he then controlled it. It didn’t just hit his arm, he trapped the ball, clearly gaining an advantage as he turned and shot. #MUNNFO

So what’s the chances it will be City v Southampton and Chelsea v Leeds if they get through with the powers that be hoping for a City v Chelsea final. #EmiratesFACup
