Nothing will come of this, but will people consider how fucking awful if is being a ref?
The PGMOL does themselves zero favours on this front, and the media mobilisation to repeat this statement ("being a ref is awful, poor them" - like in the Ronay article you reference) ignores that there are real problems that should be addressed (how on earth is Oliver getting £20k from the owners of city? That's not going to help the chorus of "the refs are crooked" brigade).

Racism.
His "mate" is a tit and set him up.
Nothing will come of this, but will people consider how fucking awful if is being a ref? The abuse is insane. Death threats is bonkers.
