    I think it’s even simpler than that: Michael Oliver got paid by Man City’s owners. Publicly. Subconscious or not that’s bias and conflict of interest there.

        I’m not in the UAE. I should hope you’re not, either. Quite frankly, though, as someone from Hong Kong and doesn’t like the government, I’m used to living with the idea that I could be figuratively beheaded at any moment, so the literal beheading doesn’t change much.

          Oh, I wasn’t implying you were in the UAE, but yeah, it’s not like authoritarian regimes give a shit about atrocities depending on your location. If I weren’t worried about it, I’d have a lot more choice words for those boys in light blue.
