How SCO can believe the ref was worse for Luton is mind boggling there's no way he's watching the same games. New glasses are a necessity.

The ref was awful yesterday, and yes the Luton fans were pissed with him for the decisions he didn't give them during the game. Neither of their goals would have stood if like Imre said we had VAR, the ref got both of those wrong. But football has been like that for ever, we have sat and debated ref decisions for ever and we have had some refs that we hate reffing our game for ever!! Thats why forums like this exist, its to debate, to bitch about things that don't go our way and to talk about the times when we win. I accept some bias, bias is built into and through experience learnt by all of us, I accept some refs are crap as has always been the case, thats what we saw yesterday.

What I completely disagree with and what has crept into everything we do these days is that there is some sort of conspiracy behind these decisions, that someone or something is deliberately doing things to deliberately hurt us and only us. Oh woe is me, someone is out to get us, the EFL want to destroy us, the refs are deliberately making bad decision against us etc etc. Its complete bullshit. If this were true we wouldn't have stayed up last season, we wouldn't have been promoted the previous one and the points deduction would have been worse and not reduced.

Deflection of blame away from our weaknesses, from our failings, from our state as a club, from the decisions we make and from the crap we have put on the pitch for a lot of the last 20 years is not the fault of the EFL or the refs or the bloody tooth fairy and aliens, its down to the players, managers and the running of the club pure and simple!! This conspiracy theory that football is against us is there to just hide from admitting and acknowledging our failings, a way to deflect the blame off of us as a club when in reality we are the ones getting it wrong!! We need to do better, we need to recognise where we are weak, we need to get off the floor and do things that improve us, simply blaming everyone else as being out to get us is just plain lazy and stupid!!!
