  • @andyc I remember seeing an interview with Mark Clattenburg talking about some high profile games and simply admitting to stuff that people always suspected.

    Stuff like realising you’ve got a call wrong and hoping for an opportunity to ‘even it out’.

    Made me reconsider how many bad refs there must be out there.

    Unless he’s a wild outlier… It’s possible, since he’s an absolute bellend, but unlikely.










  • @andyc no second team in the way you mean here. (As in, not including local non-league)

    But watch plenty of matches I’ve no investment in if I think it will be fun, and miss games that I have some investment in if I think it’ll be crap.

    E.g. I wanted Inter to win the CL but didn’t watch as I figured it would be dull.

    I didn’t care who won between Union Berlin and Freiburg last month but they are both fun teams and I managed to find a stream (While Mrs Basil was watching ManU v Wolves I think)
