I've been seeing and hearing other Clubs being subject to some very dubious decision making.
It's difficult to stay on top of it due to the sheer volume.
Your conspiracy theory against us goes out the window if its happening to clubs all over the leagues!!
We literally have become the moaners and whingers and the oh woe is me club over the past 9 years!! Even Kev's foul stats where our crapness is now being ignored so we can blame the refs or the EFL instead.
The problem we have is DC, its not the refs, nor the EFL nor even the Scousers who broke down gates in 1989 or the police who covered up their mistakes with the help of Thatchers government!! We commit more fouls because we are crap, we see our players beaten time and again and guess what, out of desperation they foul. Most of us are of an age where we bitched and moaned about ref decisions all the time, we just did it in the pub and not on social media or watching endless replays of incidents. We could see when it was a crap decision by a poor referee, we moaned about it but moved on, now we just blame the ref and make up ridiculous conspiracy theories.
We finally have a manager who is from the modern world, one who will put in place a structure that helps us rather than the usual dinosaurs like Pulis and Bruce or the inept like Monk and Xisco. Its a structure that DC should have put in from day 1 but he is too xxxx stubborn and has too big an ego to do that and we are suffering as a club as a consequence of him knowing nothing about football. We need to give Rohl both time and our support, even if we get relegated but we need to get DC out of our club somehow or force him into the background and let Rohl replicate what he has seen succeed in many places all over the football world.
I should have clarified a bit further.
Other Clubs do face the occasional poor/dodgy decision depending on their opponents and the importance of the games outcome.
However, NO other teams face the sheer volume of condensed phukkery week after week, season after season, that we do. They just don't.
Now, being crap and useless, which we certainly are; is a separate issue to the decision making which compounds the misery of it. We aren't good enough to get a result regardless of any decisions designed to handicap us.
We were promoted last season. Still filthy by the statistics.
Good, bad or just bang average. It's the same treatment it's just increased in visible when we're terrible as well.
Your last paragraph I do completely agree with. I feel Rohl, properly backed could almost be to us what Wilder was to the pigs.
Something miraculous happened with the coup of this Rohl guy and Powell on board gives me hope that passing and ball control can now be taught at an adult level.
It's finally an opportunity for the Club to make baby steps in the right direction but there's a ticking time bomb manifesting itself as Chansiri
