They are called Referees

[Yousif Arsenal]

My main question here is, what kind of f*cking weirdo wants an autograph from a ref?

Why Mike dean even angry at guy signing autograph? These bald English refs man

Maybe this kid inspired by this ref story and wants to be referee in future.

Because no one ever wanted his own autograph.

Oliver and co. seemed to favour City once again vs. Liverpool...

What's that about gigs in the middle east...?

Clattenburg says it should have been a penalty also. Attwell at VAR.

Now that we are seeing some patterns in these mistakes, I'm starting to really think City might have oiled the referees, because the mistakes seem to always benefit them. And they don't often get those yellows from breaking counter-attacks etc.

All the other clubs seem to claim that they always get the referee treatment, and fight each other with who gets treated most unfairly. While City looks from outside laughing.

It's either that, or most of the referees are totally incompetent. These mistakes are so blatant, that it just can't be only incompetence. Even a child could referee some of the decisions better.

Oliver has also travelled to UAE to referee games...

Michael Oliver's recent trip to UAE revealed — same ref who didn't send Kovacic off twice

There was even more referee controversy in the Premier League at the weekend during Arsenal's clash against Manchester City.The Gunners managed to secure a 1–0 win despite match official Michael Oliver refusing to send Mateo Kovacic off for an obvious case of a second booking.

Paul Tierney on VAR, the Liverpool referee. Didn't cost points this time.

Maybe the focus on City, again, being very lucky with a major decision can help us a bit when we play them. Arteta should make a subtle reference to it the week before

So the KMI panel is made out of former players and managers.

They go for some courses, and are expected to know the rules, and especially the new rules, better than real referees (which doesn't seem very hard though as we know how bad they are).

"There was some scepticism at first among some in the refereeing fraternity as to whether former players are as up to date with the laws as traditional referee assessors. Prior to the season, PGMOL sent Green, Carney, Walters, Reid and Burton on a series of sessions on the laws of the game, their interpretation and the application of Var."

If Havertz would have been there instead of Cucurella, it would have been overturned by VAR.

Not sure if that second one had a small hit to Madueke before the video started. But if it had been Saka, it would have been overturned by VAR.

Gillett is a Liverpool fan so of course he gave both penalties on the field. And we have that "clear and obvious error" sillyness going on.

Bad calls yes

But United fans are the last ones who should be complaining

Goldbridge seems to have arrived at similar thinkins as I have. The referees keep making mistakes in this league, and surprisingly it's always City that benefits.

He reminded of that first and winning goal in the United-City derby this season that came from a penalty. Where the referee didn't whistle it, but Oliver on VAR made a ridiculous decision saying that it was a penalty where Hojlund pulled Rodri, and the ball was nowhere near, and the pull was very minor. And we have even at Arsenal a couple much more clear instances where a pull hasn't resulted in VAR penalty.

Oliver has made many decisions that benefit City, and he has travelled and got paid by their owners. Kovacic incidence against Arsenal is another, and Doku foul not being a penalty against Liverpool.

I suggest everyone starts keeping an eye out for this. The refs are also bad, so it doesn't explain everything, but would make sense why almost every other top club gets wrong decisions, but not City.

It's obvious most top clubs get bad decisions, so it's also not only about most referees coming from the North.

Right move but of course too late

Thank f*cking christ.

Don't know why it can't be ready at the start of the season though and have to wait until one of the autumn international breaks.

Now can we get VAR automated as well.

Thought on the penalty shout for jesus in the 48 minute? For me that is a clumsy tackle and a clear penalty. Havent seen it from different angles but from the one a seen it is stonewall penalty.
