Referees' Performances | 2025/26

[MCFC1993]

The added time needs reviewing, other than that it's his typical inconsistent performance.

Tried to let it flow but let too much go and we've ended up with multiple injuries because of it.

 

[burning blue soul]

Well, the subliminal messaging constantly pumped out by the media and commentators is certainly paying off for the Premier league.
Our players are reffed completely different to other teams. And no fucks given by anyone.

 

[Big Chap]

6 minutes added at the end of the Dippers game earlier by Kavanagh with no injuries and a very brief VAR check. Then this. Felt like ball was in play for about 5 minutes from the 70th minute. Crooked.

 

[VOOMER]

Another dirty thuggish team.

 

[Gundoggin]

Reffed it very well tonight imho

 

[VOOMER]

Reffed it very well tonight imho

 

[Petethemancinleeds]

He let the game flow especially the mad last 20 mins and let both teams off with challenges most refs would get the cards out for.

 

[Goater=Legend]

He's a good ref tbf.

The four minutes was an absolute disgrace though.

 

[richardtheref]

Let's not forget this is the ref who was on VAR for the cup final. The man who didn't think Haaland clean through is a goalscoring opportunity.

 

[Don Karleone]

He let a bit too much go for my liking, but not bent imo.

 

[wolviedinho]

Played for the product tonight.

Blowing early is a fucking cheating act before our eyes.

Draw probably fair but a city winner was coming.

Sky production.

 

[Allnightlong]

Thought he reffed it weird. Some baffling calls for both sides.
The two footer on Doku was defo a yellow at least.
Letting their keeper take 30 to 45 seconds every gk.
There is no consistency with some challenges going unpunished ev shirt pulls is an instant yellow but not tonight.

 

[Ajm1985]

Weird reffing. Good in parts but absolutely shite in others. That non-foul on Rodri then foul on them was awful, let too much go in the first half before a card (the late digs on Haaland & Nico) and I’ve no idea how the foul on Doku wasn't a card. Had worse refs but just shows that the bar is fucking low

 

[Gordyola]

These long throws are wrong! Why is a player allowed additional time to take one? Tonight for two of the throws they changed their mind and went short A few weeks ago NOR was booked for alleged time wasting taking a short throw yet, the opposition had been allowed as much time as they wanted for long throws

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Turned the PL back 20 years. All about the product than the sport with the likes of Sky getting what they want to support their product.

Sign-up, sign-up, come all you Reds, sign-up!*

*all you other lesser cunts, get fucked

I love this thread. The reaction of the home fans tonight counters what posts on here say.

We are, by the opinion of every fan base of every club, reffed in the favour of refs and VAR. we are what everyone said the rags were in the 90s.

Truth is it’s all bollocks because it’s just fans venting their spleen.

I was told he'd moved down south?

It is just south of Manchester ;-)

In many ways I agree, the thing about the home fans, is their players, falling over at every opportunity, and he didn't fall for it, so he's "not fit to referee".

It is largely bollocks, him tonight I thought was pretty good, we can all argue about the odd point, but he didn't let the obvious affect him, many others do, and it's the blatent cheating that gets to me, but to be honest blame the coaches for that, some of the shite that the rags arsenal and dippers get given is destroying football, so it's not surprising other coaches are trying it.

But that’s what they all say about us.
