Funny, because I thought it was a victory for repeated cheating to the point that the football club should be kicked out of English football. 35811 0

Reposted by Brian LuskeyTheCenci @thecenci.bsky.social · 11/10/2026No idea why Sky are so excited. Until the punishments are handed down the season means nothing. The game is a farce now, the League table a nonsense because there’s no competitive football till this has been resolved. No one will end today with points so why bother?

Reposted by Brian LuskeyAndCouldHePlay7 @andcouldheplay7.bsky.social · 11/10/2026No one in the media will mention that the match referee is from Manchester. They won’t talk about it on coms. It’s never mentioned because English exceptionalism means referees being bent is for dirty foreigners like in Italy, not for our good old British boys. 1325 0
Reposted by Brian LuskeyAndCouldHePlay7 @andcouldheplay7.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Definitely nothing at all suspect about a referee from Manchester just making up two fouls in order to send off our best performing player in the match & hand the advantage to a team literally found to be cheating & paying people off the books. Nothing at all suspect about that. 47022 0
