Not sure why I am replying.... other than to say that this FA/Ref BS has been going on long enough for me to comment about it.
Ted Steel
It would be BoshCard on the front!

For those of you unfamiliar with The Wire, here's what Spectrum's quote was referencing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZSRs3g2AnxA

Tell you what would be funny, if the ref had been paid off by the guy whose with Owens wife. No title destruction plans, just an insecure man screwing over his wife's ex husband

I'm pretty annoyed about the ref's decisions, but you get days like that. Win the season, even with a bad day. The other teams get bad days too. I'll be amazed if Brig/Briggy find anything, other than an interfering with the ref charge.

Just received the Chester FC away kit that I ordered from the club shop. For some reason the sponsors are wrong, as I was really hoping for the Chester Zoo. Very cool design nonetheless. Thanks, Brooke and Max!
Sam McGuffin
Conspiracy??? Also cool to see a weakened Chester team strong against the best Ipswich could put out. Would’ve been a good W if it wasn’t for the ref. Interested to see the fallout/follow up for what happens next!

So, a ref assistant gets food poisoning. One from the PL steps in. Then 3 clear decisions go the other way denying chester 2 goals and giving one to the other team ? Something fishy is definitely going on.

If someone IS screwing Chester to keep them down, I hope max has a tanty and gets himself promoted to the premier league out of spite. It would be absolute Peak Max Best.

Hmm looking forward to finding out what happened. Is it nervousness or cheating or magic mind-fucking? Thanks for the chapter Ted.
John
It seems like max is going more covert route with brig to figure out who is behind it
Matty
I think having a higher tier ref behind him was doing his mind in too. It's not helping either that people still don't see chester as competitive. Any goal that goes their way must be a fluke lol

Oh, Max is going to rage when he finds out that the ref wasn't dirty at all, but got absolutely mindfucked when Max told him not to embarrass himself in front of the other official. Also, Maxterplanalytics is a fantastic name and the rest of them are philistines. Edit Suggestions: A years' work down the drain. -- years' -> year's Why wasn't Tommy Tactics and his megabrain minion changing things up? -- wasn't -> weren't "Let's say this is Kisi as our right mid, with either Sarah Greene or Meghan behind her -- Is there another Sarah on the team? I get it when Max calls her Sarah Greene in his internal monologues, but it feels weird to use her full name when talking to the team. I took my phone and read. It's from a police guy who's trying to bring down a gang. -- I can't tell whether the second sentence is supposed to be part of Max's dialogue. If it is, then the quotation marks need to be reworked. If not, then: It's -> It was In the 74th minute, I left my position on left midfield and sprinted with all my might towards the area. -- This is probably my lack of football knowledge showing, but towards what area? I looked to the sub's bench -- sub's -> subs'

I wonder if Max can get Diggy Doggy to repost the ‘highlights’ of the game. It would be a terrible look for the FA globally if blatant cheating is aired to a world wide audience. Then with Max’s help he could still be sure to win promotions and train up great players. This is in addition the the Brig crew
Andrew wickman
Yeah this is definitely new, hoping for a payoff of sorts in the next one.
GuyWhoReadsALot
That made me really mad.
Geoff Urland
I hope the ref isn't dirty. It's a hard job to do well at that level and while I'm positive not every referee is a saint, the consistent "the refs were shit and dirty" post-match message board commentary is soul destroying for the game.
Andrew wickman
I putting myself into a coma until Friday. Thanks for the chapter!
Uncle Snoo
I don't think I've ever read a chapter where the ref is biased towards Chester instead. It's always neutral or against Chester. Too one-sided to be swept away as a mere coincidence. Maybe some fan or pradeep should present some stats on social media anonymously. Comparing them and other teams.
