not announced anything to improve the standard of refereeing

not even investing in grass roots refereeing to get young people into it, that's just an easy win... just repression repression repression and don't dare to criticize

Yeah investing in the lower levels of referring is the simplest thing they could do, but your right, just shutting down any criticism. While I mightn’t support the teams, I admire Arteta and Klopp for speaking out about the poor levels of officiating, the league has been won and lost on a single point and even goal difference before, so every goal, foul, point can be crucial, if not a league then maybe Europe, or even relegation, it needs changing

Charles Dickens wrote about it in the 19th century. It's oppression coupled with repression, resulting in depression.

Just because you don't know about it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. They launched a new strategy for grassroots refereeing past July
