Due to the 'saturated' media coverage that now encompasses West Ham, particularly since the club has appeared in Europe three years on the spin. There appears to be a growing tendency for certain outlets to insist on having a scapegoat in the team.

Having become a 'serial offender' when it comes to outrageously inept refereeing decisions in what is supposed to be the 'best' league in World football, there has been a clamour to 'relegate' Peter Bankes from the field for at least one month, with many seeking his permanent removal from the list of 'elite' referees.

Now it is a natural instinct among supporters of ALL football clubs to question the ability of those officiating each game.

Time and time again supporters feel that their team have been 'ROBBED' as a result of poor refereeing or dubious V.A.R decisions and the game in London this afternoon between West Ham and Newcastle was NO exception!
