‘Groot Brobbey-schandaal in Premier League’

The refereeing of Brian Brobbey is appalling, because he's big and physical people are allowed to foul him constantly and he gets nothing. If he were built like an 18 yr old Michael Owen he would get so many more decisions.

as a Sunderland fan, I have to watch Brian Brobbey get refereed completely different to the rest of the league just because he’s built like a brick shithouse

meanwhile, you get rewarded for being a wet wipe and going down under the slightest touch

game has never been more gone

That is not a foul anywhere else on the pitch against any other player, especially if its Brian Brobbey

Brian Brobbey must be wondering what he did in a previous life to deserve this kind of treatment in the Premier League. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a player chucked about so much like he’s in an octagon on a football pitch. Not even Adama T, R. Lukaku or V. Anichebe got this.

Conversations need to be had about Brian Brobbey being targeted by officials mind.

It was bad before Spurs but since then it's been on another level. He is getting penalised for being fouled.

Horrendous officiating.#SAFC

What does Brian Brobbey have to do to get a foul call?

Refs just don’t know how to officiate Brian Brobbey and it’s really sad.
