Indeed... if anything, the punishments are far less lenient than the crimes. This impacts the integrity of the sport. When some clubs can determine which refs are doing their matches (and which are doing their opponents') the entire system comes into disrepute. Remember, in soccer, it is far easier for a ref to change the game with one call (a penalty for example) than in other sports.
