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.

This is always the way which is why I just ignore all this rubbish now. I see so many silly posts about refs being dodgy etc but only when it impacts their own team. As soon as it’s another team, well things just balance out, refereeing though is not a black and white simple system and var doesn’t change that either. It’s still people just using more angles and cameras and people make mistakes or have different views.
