No appeal for sent-off Alonso

[Gomez]

These authoritarian and medieval laws of the FA and FIFA need to be removed. Questioning of the officials is deemed a sin on par with blasphemy.

 

Which is exactly why I believe corruption of officials is present in this country. We've had footballers on 10's of thousands a week accused of taking bribes in the courts, yet we are to believe officials on 100 times less money are above taking a back hander. The evidence for this is non-existant, other than the FA's "Oh no it would never happen here" stance. Exactly the same reasoning behind it in that referees are infalible.

 

I don't know why England is so much more a moral country, or the FA a moral organistion than other European countrys that have had problems with corrupt officials, but until they actually have open investigations into some of the dubious games we've seen, how can they be credible.
