You kind of prove my point about confirmation bias. And yes, I cited the Gabriel example in my first post on this thread.

That refs make more "errors" against the larger clubs. That's as clear as day!

The KMI panel decided that Palmer should have been sent off by the referee but only by a margin of 3:2. The reasoning is below:
“The on-field no red card decision was deemed incorrect, 3:2. The majority felt that Palmer's action on Fernandes was clear contact to the head as well as unnecessary, dangerous and made with excessive force. Two panellists supported the on-field call as they viewed the action as aggressive with no excessive force. All panellists supported the VAR's decision to not intervene and support the referee's call given that a yellow card was awarded on-field.”
For reference this is the Palmer incident:

So 2 of the KMI panel think this was not violent conduct. And all 5 thought the threshold for VAR intervention was not met.
In comparison all 5 of the panel concluded that the referee was wrong not to send Yarmo off and by 5:0 that VAR was right to intervene. In other words Yarmo used excessive force or brutality against Jacquet.

Fully agree, consistency goes out the window when a top 6 team is involved. Have not read anywhere the logic behind not booking/sending off Madueke for the headbutt against Liverpool, almost like it never happened. But we all know why.

It was at the very least a yellow, which would have been his 2nd of the game. So off anyway

When does this panel share their thoughts on Madueke as, while the Palmer aggression to the opponents head was far more forceful, this was the most comparable incident to Yarmo's with a different word soup by the officials? I'm obviously not holding my breath but I wonder if the club is waiting for that if they haven't already made contact with Pro Ref.

I don’t have a problem with the Madueke incident. Because it’s Arsenal and they get away with things, it has at least highlighted how the innocent-looking and “much-wronged” Iraola has encouraged his players to wind up the opposition at set pieces with the aim of provoking an incident. So maybe the cheating scousers won’t get away with this any more, much like Sunderland haven’t been awarded a “Sunderland penalty” (where their attacker instigates contact, disorientates the defender who is then punished for “not looking at the ball”) since they had one awarded against Arsenal, shortly after they got lucky against us.

From Iraola's press conference today:
Liverpool’s Andoni Iraola was asked about referees and some of the decisions that may have gone against his players of late.
“I think we are quite an honest group. Sometimes too honest,” said the Spaniard.
“The referee said last week, our behaviour has been very good.
“You cannot fake things. When we complain it has to be genuine.”

I've lost count of the games where both sets of supporters were convinced the referee was biased against them!

I don't really like the sense of victimhood here. KLP wasn't watching the ball against Sunderland and clearly wrestled their player -- he might have got away with it but I see no reason to complain about the decision (we got a similar one at Wolves in our first season in the Prem). Likewise, Yarmo was plain foolish to get drawn into that soft head butt. The one instance when I have felt really aggrieved this season was the failure to award a penalty for the clear trip on Kevin Schade at Leeds. If VAR doesn't overturn decisions like that, we might as well not have it.

Yes he was foolish. But that doesn’t make it violent conduct. Neither the VAR or the referee when announcing the decision applied Law 12 properly.
Madueke got away with a near identical offence against Liverpool and Cole Palmer practically committed assault against Fernandes and was only cautioned.
The issue remains that smaller clubs are refereed differently against the Big 6 and Big 6 players appear to have a completely different standard applied (see above examples and Gabriel’s headbutt on Haaland).

I see their manager is already planting seeds of doubt into the ref's mind about our alleged physicality and strength. Be strong Mr Oliver

Re victim mentality....I agree.... it's becoming increasingly invasive on the GPG in recent times.... bordering on paranoid delusional twaddle...of course conscious and unconscious bias are things...but are incredibly difficult to qualify....and evidence objectively..too many variables....imo Brentford FC are no different from other clubs outside the elite when it comes to the subject matter.

Not sure many (if any) on here have argued anything differently to that.

... fair enough.... it's only a football forum after all.... but the day our players start seeing themselves as victims of a 'corrupt' system....well.....then we really do have problems.

The players’s frustration has been plain to see this season and has led to several bookings for remonstrating and back chat to the referee. Doesn’t mean they handled it correctly nor that it’s a conspiracy. When (if) they watch matches involving the Big 6 they can’t help but think “I would have been booked for that”.
