That is a total fucking disgrace. The linesman must be bent.

Unless you're speaking of Darren, that kind of insult really isn't on.

You do realise bent in this context means corrupt?

Did not, sorry Rigadon for the accusation. Never heard it in that context before.

Really? Bent copper etc??

Well the linesman will be on MOTD tonight, which is clearly what he wanted. Well done him.

As if having limitless funds isn't enough they get all the luck too.

Its what they are doing with these limitless funds. Nobody is that incompetent.

SOmebody else posted the respective costs of the teams and that's one thing.  But the very obvious bias that favours the top team in this league is the real divider.

This does paper over the cracks of a piss poor performance. But the officials have killed us.

Did not, sorry Rigadon for the accusation. Never heard it in that context before.

It's an older saying. Often used on TV in the 70's. I still use it sometimes. Here is a definition of it.

bent
1. An individual who abuses his/her position of power, or operates on the periphery of legality
"That copper is as bent as a nine pound note."
