I mean, I’m not saying that there was any corruption or explicit instruction to give them a penalty, but even the minor thought that a certain club’s state-owners might pay me/hire me more often can be incredibly enticing.

      Yea because working in retail and being a PL ref is comparable? How did you even come to that conclusion?

      People do it in retail because they have no other choice. It just creates a self fulfilling circle where anyone competent in retail leaves so you only have incompetent people in retail who trigger angry abuse from customers.

      Keep in mind that referees basically start at minimum wage too, refing kids games and Sunday leagues where they still get abuse despite the fact that these games have literally no stakes attached.
