They are called Referees

[Rex Stone]

We should say the same thing about Craig Pawson.

Useless bellend.

Mike Dean at least should not be a referee. Same goes for Moss. Through out Pawson also while at it.

 

[Garrincha]

wonder if they are becoming mentally burnt out? been a **** load of football recently all with the weekend / midweek split

not like they get the buzz of a crowd anymore to feed off... just a bunch on *****y millionaires trying to cheat each other

 

[Lidl_Reed]

Clear red. Arteta out!

Pawson needs to be investigated. Didn't realise he was the ref for our game against Liverpool when Mane threw that dirty elbow in the second minute of the game. Should have been a straight red but no...

I can never find the energy to care about referee mistakes. Sport is injustice, just the way it is

Or look at that stamp on Xhaka by Bruno Fernandes. If that had been one of our players I can take poison that it would have been a VAR review and a red card. 100% sure.

The club should really start raising a stink about this. I think Southampton are right to protest as should we. It is all just way to crocked right now.

No, almost nothing I like better! I really like complaining about refs. I feel I have started to take it over the top a bit but what the heck. I think the PL refs deserve all the criticism coming their way. A bunch of corrupt and biased scumbags in my book!

I do think the standards are poor. What annoys me if anything annoys me is how they stick together even when they are blatantly wrong.

That's the only thing that bugs me. Saw it on BT Sports yesterday I was a bit bemused.

You are a much more zen person than I, we have been screwed so much that only when I'm dead will I stop complaining

Are there any governance or reviews of the referees at the end of each season, done by someone outside the FA or Referee organisation?

I wouldn't know enough about that.

I just more meant whichever ref they have in the sky or bt studios always sides with the ref even whatever decision they make - it's kinda pointless


Peter Walton 2 minutes in. Apparently Luiz would have been better off diving in with a tackle in the box

Even Rio calls bullocks.

 

[Dennis_Bergkamp_10]

The FA will come out saying that their referees are fair and just. The Southampton appeal will lead to nothing as you can't say anything bad about referees. You'll get a fine and might get suspended too if you speak your mind about those clowns with a whistle. I've seen it at Old Trafford in 2005, Nou Camp in 2011, yesterday at Molineux and all the countless times inbetween.

I suppose their wives beat them at home, so they have to stamp their authority somewhere. Might as well be in the Premier League.

Yeah, but how do you determine what is characterized as an attempt?

If I remember correctly, Luiz did try an attempt to get the ball in the Chelsea match, but still got sent off... Is an attempt only when you actually hit the ball, but also bring the man down ffs.

The way this geriatric ponce talks about the incident/Luiz annoys me greatly, tbh.

Looking forward to this debate being brought up again in a few weeks, when Gabriel slides in as the last man, just misses the ball that he was clearly trying to play...gets a red and a pen given, then all the refs say it was the right decision

 

[LG10]

We are 20th in terms of fouls per game, nothing to do with discipline. Most blatant fixing I’ve seen

 

[novar]

Decisions yesterday were correct, all of them. The only reason it looks controversial was the slight tackle, but anyone who plays football regularly can tell why what Luiz did was wrong and deserving of being called a foul. From what I see there's predictably no good ideas on how to "solve" this, because quite simply, there is nothing to solve.

As usual with fans a couple of days pass and you can look back with a cold head and see how wrong you were. It's not something that should happen with hardcore fans that spend their days usually talking football, in that case maybe searching for a hobby they can understand better is in order.

Don't think I've ever seen something like this, but I'd love it if it became widespread that clubs requested referees not to make their games. Might actually get the FA to implement some kind of review or punishment system for referees who make errors

*Anybody who plays football regulary*

Man, you're really trying for that *worst poster of the year* award aren't you.

Absolute Bollocks. Anywhere outside the prem this wouldn't be a send off. Semi-Prof. this wouldn't even be a penalty in half the cases.
