I focused on the most obvious and significantly on ones that were a failure to apply the laws of the game, but it is absolutely fucking grim watching that, the only offsides I included were Virgil's and Mane's v the bitters, that clip shows how intense and simply bias beyond the pale greater than anything I have ever witnessed in 44 years of watching football
You could create a very lengthy video nasty of the persistent fouling of our players that was allowed too, Hendo got injured through Dacoure being allowed to foul him and drag him back by his arm for fully 10 seconds and the multiple incidents of WWE defending on our forwards, but nothing doing, but the slightest touch by one of our players, the SLIGHTEST, and it's a free kick to the opposition
We were playing to an entirely set of different rules to every other club this season, that's not rub of the green and other clubs had a different set of rules of what they could and couldn't do when they were playing us, a lot of what teams were allowed to get up to in fouling our players persistently, they weren't allowed to do the same in games against other clubs
