Shoddy reporting by @BBCRMsport - they have taken the partisan view of one witness and hung the referee out to dry. These are serious accusations that would not be published in any other context without a right of reply. But @BBCSport treats referees as fair game for criticism

Dear @RupertLowe10 These courses are necessary because refereeing in England has been endemically racist for years. It has not been a meritocracy. It has been biased in favour of people like me. No white people will suffer from this @FootballAssoc initiative

I am calling on the @FA to scrap this racist scheme, and open the course up to ALL applicants. That includes white people. Anti-white racism is rife in football, and it's repugnant. Why should white fans fund this racist filth? Let's show racism the red card, @FA?



✅ Jay Bothroyd on @SkySportsNews says it’s definitely a penalty ❌ Joe Hart on @BBCMOTD says it’s definitely a fair challenge 🤷🏻‍♂️ Gary Neville on @SkySportsPL is ‘torn’ Yet we keep being told players would be better VARs because they ‘know the game’ #var #referees @talkSPORT

"It's DEFINITELY a penalty!" 🤬 Dermot Gallagher and Jay Bothroyd compare Arsenal's overturned penalty with the decision to send off Robert Sanchez for Chelsea against Man United last week...

I cannot defend the decision to disallow 18-year-old Josh King's goal for Fulham at Chelsea on Saturday, but let me have a go at trying to explain how the mistake likely came about #CHEFUL telegraph.co.uk/football/2025/…
