just though i would throw an argument open to everyone on this forum. i watched the real-madrid-valencia game on sunday and with real 1-0 down they received a somewhat dubious 90th minute penalty. it begs the question of whether referees favour the bigger teams or not in the modern game. there are obvious examples to back this argument up and there are also some to argue against it. what do you feel? are the smaller clubs at a disadvantage?
