In the season I decided to not

give a s**t as much as I used to (or at all)

Interpretation went from a grey area, to an actual breach of rules which should have been reported to Fifa. When Fer scored against Cardiff, Mike Jones had no right to intervene. Regardless of whether Norwich were to let a goal in at the other end or not (which I'd have seen as an offence of match fixing as well), Mike Jones purposely went outside of the rules of the game, and changed a decision, because he basically wanted to

The game applauded him for it, but that is massively what is wrong about corruption. Where a good deed is done, there's many more deeds in football which are ugly and damaging.

The game is a mess and likes to pretend with banners and players wearing jumpers saying 'fair play'. There is no such thing

The game is a cut throat mess, and everyone is either in it for themselves (from top to bottom, board level to player, grass roots to professional). That attitude is why some decisions are ignored.

In the media, you can put a game on, especially those gambling site streams where commentators are starting out. They'll specifically only big up the bigger team or star, because they're on the same timeline, they're sucking up in order to get a better commentary job.

When football wants to stop being a disgusting elite and wants to be fair, I might go back. But if it's the way it is now, I'm totally happy where I am at present

There's more wrong with the game than right, in all areas. If technology comes along properly, it will sway the balance in the right direction. If it deflects from using it as strongly as it has the last 20 years, then I'll continue to believe it's to protect 80% of the people in the game who are bad
