No wonder there was a flash point as the players left the field at half time. I have rarely seen such biased refereeing.
A total disgrace!!
Only saw the last 15 minutes..... funny you should say that, silver, but in that time I actually remarked that it was good to see a ref FOR ONCE not being duped by every dive or every piece of physical contact!
Can't say I noticed any bias during the minutes I saw though
Kalvin Phillips booked very early on for a pretty innocuous challenge and yet several very physical first half Polish challenges went unpunished; indeed the referee often waving play on. The referee eventually started booking Polish players for their over physical approach during the second half. Kamel Glik was an absolute animal throughout the match and has been reported for pinching an English player's neck as the teams went off at halftime. There is, yet again, some evidence of racial abuse which I believe is also being investigated.
Some days I'm top dog, most days I'm just the lamp post.
