My thoughts are - whose vetting the refs and Var people as to what teams they support

So a ref or a var man whose team is close to the relegation area doesn't want us to win to give his team a better chance of survival, if you get my thinking

The brown envelopes, decide what is and isn't reviewed and even if the machine is actually switched on. This is not a pi55 take it's FACT.

What I mean is: If the ref is a secret Villa fan fan and they are 1pt above us and in trouble re relegation, and is refereeing us who are below Villa, would he be biased as to the Var decisions - yes is the normal answer, and that will follow for every ref/official in the land if they haven't been vetted as to which team/teams they follow.
