Crap Referees

[Sniffer Dog (Admin)]

Culture may be rotten. Decisions may have gone against us. But fear this has all become a big distraction to our poor performances on the pitch.

And that is what is really frustrating me. How has the sense of injustice not motivated this group to play with real fire in their bellies?

All the other sides - palace, Brentford, Everton - who were down with us scrapping just a couple weeks away have pulled away. That second half against Everton we barely created anything; against an out of form spurs side, we created very little second half. After Wolves equalised, very little, crystal Palace the same.

This inability to create is not var. This dropping of heads is not a ref thing. We lack leadership on the pitch or desire.

Ultimately we have three winnable games to finish this season but if the players are going to feel sorry for themselves after this last week then we've no hope. Before that we've man city. If they cannot put in a blood,  sweat and tears performance against city then we've no hope.

Control what you can control - var and refs are not one and ultimately I fear it is now just an excuse for abject performances

Nobody is denying any of that though are they? ^^

People shouldn't be denying the parts of VAR and refs either.

It doesn't have to be one or the other.

Players, coaches (past and present), owner, VAR and refs have all played a part in us being where we currently find ourselves.

No need to try and separate them it's a collective thing.
