Yes there is. It's not a case of one or the other, they're both corrupt and incompetent.

No, what we have is inconsistency and incompetence both in equal measure after that you factor in every bad decision that goes against your team and for an opponent and you've got the ingredients for speculation of corruption.
Bissouma got sent off one time though.
More than any season I can remember. Except maybe Leicester title run.
That's a lot of things that need to come together to make the correct explanation.
Occam's Razor favours the simplest one. In this case the simplest one is that people's instincts are telling them it's bent because it is.
Shit enough not to realise when you’ve already penalised a player for diving, that you don’t penalise another player for diving?
See how unbelievably rubbish that is.
The excuse of just being shit wore thin a long time ago
May not be conspiratorial but bias absolutely dictates some decisions. Refs have even been admitting as such
Ingredients for certainty of corruption.
This isn't me banging the 'they're out to get Tottenham' drum either, it's been evident for years, and many other clubs, not of the PL showcase teams, have suffered from it.
I highly doubt I'll ever convince you though, so it's probably best to leave it as an agree to disagree and move on.
Evidence rather than instinct mate. The media brush it under the carpet, and there's far too many people willing to do the same.
No one wants to admit that an English league could ever be corrupt, and those in power know it. This season has been absolutely blatant, yet most still refuse to believe it.
Maybe not 100’s but that’s why I wasn’t on the ‘stupid Biss’ bandwagon. I from jump thought the ref was being a dick after all this was one week following football fortunes daring to go against Liverpool.
It stinks and that is no over reaction

It was a blatant dive by Havertz - totally undisputable 2nd yellow card....and yet no action from the ref nor the linesman. No wonder people are talking about refs being bought and/being biased.
No one can convince me though that refs are not swayed one way or the other...

Very true Havertz didn’t dive on yellow, if Spurs was more competent then he’d…
As Biss is the only one to receive a yellow for diving, it is that sending off that is at fault and not today’s incident which I have not actually seen. It seems the Biss yellow was for revenge for the Liverpool match and officials should never look for revenge. It is pleasing that the glut of yellows we received earlier in the season seems to have reduced. I hope I have not spoken too soon.
Funny thing is, it would have been better for the referee to have awarded Havertz a penalty, right?
VAR would have had a look, flagged up a clear and obvious error and made him go to the screen to check it out. Would have been gobsmacking if he'd then bottled giving a yellow card.
