They are overcompensating for the damage David Coote caused.

How Nunez didn’t receive a red card for this ridiculous challenge is beyond me.

Above the ankle, excessive force, no attempt to play the ball. Thought all that meant a red about a month ago. It's just a joke how many they get away with that are sending off for other teams. It's getting clearer and clearer by the week that referees are either afraid or under instructions to not send their players off or give them unlimited chances. It's clear two tier refereeing.

That very same day up at Anfield, Szoboszlai already on a yellow, gives away a free kick and then smashes the ball away across the pitch and…..absolutely fuck all happens.

That one was defended by that bald cheating cûnt Webb who claimed it was fine because it didn't actually affect the the opposition and was near the end of the game. That was straight after he had claimed that the "letter of the law" had to be applied to Rice.
It's pathetic how corrupt they are and how they're allowed to get away with it.

Talking to Howard Webb is like pinning jelly to a wall. One minute it’s letter of the law. The next it’s using discretion. One minute it’s a fair challenge as this is a physical game. The next minutes it’s a foul and a red card for complete nothing tactical fouls. One minute it’s a subjective call, the next it’s objective and black and white. VAR involved. Then VAR not involved. The bloke’s a clown. The fact he was a policeman sort of makes it make sense. The League is refereed completely to the whims of a specific group of refs. I reckon the actual Mafia were fairer and less corrupt.

I honestly think the Nunez tackle is only a yellow.

By the letter of the law, it’s a red as long as at least 1/3 tests below is met
1 Endangering the safety of opponent
2 Excessive force
3 Brutality

The clown Webb is the living epitome of a pigeon playing chess.... “just knocks over all the pieces, shits all over the board, and then struts around like it won the game.” :x

Just saw Bournemouth score one of the best goals on the break against Scum, only for it to be judged off-side (by a couple of feet)... But it was a thing of beauty and showed just how spurzy the scum are

Such a watchable team Bournemouth. The pace and intensity of their game is something else and been suffering more injuries than anyone else. What a job the manager will have done if he gets them into Europe

This 100%. But what the fuck was Kepa doing? Son was on his way out of play at that pace he could have pulled his hands & arms away because as sure as the Pope shits in the woods Son was going to go to ground... ie: Dive like the guy getting shot in Platoon.
