Referees' Performances | 2025/26

[danarcher]

Once the referee has been sent to review the monitor and subsequently spend ages analysing it,you can pretty much guarantee he'll flip.

Var is and always will be an utter clusterfuck the way it is being applicated.
The real issue is the consistency of the decisions,or lack of.

Except for (strangely enough) the one that went against us v Wolves where the newbie Ref stuck to his guns. Didn't cost us on the day as it happened mind....

The same ref whose eyesight was so good he awarded a corner for a ball which hadn’t even reached the line let alone crossed it

I'd forgotten about that one tbh.

we would have won that game alot bigger so it did hurt us , what if the title would have been desited on goal different,

 

[35yearsstillhere]

joke of a decision as its supposed to be a clear and obvious mistake to change it and it wasn't.
lets be honest we all know its down to the fact that the decision on our case will come straight after the end of the season during the world cup to take limelight off it, we will get a point deduction and a big fine thats keeps us still in the champions league and they wont have to take the title off us. i do think its been planned all along. maybe and i am wearing a tin hat lol

 

[Sir Joe Aguero]

Errrrr , what foul on Raya ???

That was me trying to be lenient. They’ve done that dozens of times this season.

 

[Blue_eyes]

Before I start my rant I would like a shoutout to West Ham after todays performance, deserved something from the game and ended up as much aggrieved as we are.

Back in the day when I used to attend games you hardly knew any of the refs names, the game happened on the pitch between two teams and a ref.

Sure they werent all great (mainly overweight and blind), but any mistakes seemed just that, a genuine mistake.

Nowadays I know all their names and fcking dread every single one of em.

Added to that, teams get screwed over by var, people 200 miles away from the game, watching on a screen, its them who decide the outcome of the game.

They often get it wrong even though they have every angle and graphic that modern technology allows, and as much time as necessary to get the correct outcome.

The game suffers with blatant inconsistencies veiled under being "subjective".

Then, a compliant media present it as ok to the masses including a ref watch segment where a respected(bent red) ex ref explains(at the behest of his paymasters) how a shit decision is actually the correct one.

Anyone complaining gets labelled a crackpot, or fined if they are affiliated to the wronged team.

New laws are introduced every season, overused early on then relaxed when it suits as the season pans out.

Needs a massive fcking reset now they have their "new name on the trophy".

They might have already decided that they want the three domestic trophies shared out to three different clubs.

I actually wouldnt be surprised by that.

Who knows, a bit like when they wanted a new name on the fa cup last year and got it (at our expence again).

Corrupt as fck, already dreading next season and the "get rags back to the top" plan that the pl are working on as I type.

After all, the pl product benefits from a strong man utd.

Hope we have totally fcked these re the 115.

Which is why the whole var thing should be fucked off if they are insistent on using it like they currently do.

I can accept refs getting it wrong without var.

Titles lost,cups lost,teams relegated because referees cant apply the rules confidently or consistently,because someone in a booth miles away has this week decided an incident that wasnt a foul last week,is this week,or vice versa.

 

[ancoats]

The only good side of all of this crap will be Pep's parting shot at the system ? Boy he is going to speak up and call it out big time. Pep's leaving present will be a moment in time, like when we did the treble

 

[Doc_Testosterone]

Donnarumma can be pulled by his arm, like against Bournemouth, and the goal still stands. That is enough about the consistency in this league. Refereeing decisions have selected the title winner this season.

I feel for West Ham because they have been robbed, not Manchester City
West Ham should be in uproar tonight and demand action and take the Premier League to court ? The proof is there from all the other games this season that goal has been allowed to stand

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

One of the luckiest decisions this season which no one is mentioning was when Arsenal went to Everton and won 1-0
Late on in that game Gabriel or Saliba kicked the bottom of an Everton players foot in the box
PGMOL admitted a few weeks later that it was a var mistake

We’ve had no luck with decisions this year and Arsenal have had quite a lot

 

[hertsblue]

The c*nt on VAR , Darren England is the same c*nt who reffed the FA Cup Final and he got dogs abuse from our fans over the Palace keeper not being sent off , dont tell me that was not at the back of his mind when he made the decision , its human nature to seek retribution and he took his chance , he should be held to account for his decision and suspended and never be allowed to be involved in any of our games again.England is a spineless , cheating twat

Also denied us 3 penalties at home to Forest

Hahahaha Luck ? Matey its nothing to do with luck, it's clear cheating and a controlled advantage given to Arsenal

 

[feedmpenzaandhewillscore]

We can come back from this campaign and compete next year for the league, West Ham will potentially be in the championship. They’ve been thrown in n the sacrificial alter to satisfy the PLs disdain for City and their bullshit charges.

 

[ancoats]

I hope to God in the Champions League final Arsenal get the dodgiest call against them and they lose the final

He's reffing the final next week, so he can't have done last years aswell.

It's been a very good season for Manchester City and hand on heart, Most City fans will agree that we are building something special, we just need a little bit more time and next season we will be back stronger

 

[WestGorton]

City but more so, West Ham were properly stiffed by the Premier League today through their influence on VAR. Helping Arsenal and Tottenham in plain sight.

 

[Don Karleone]

Yeah, it was the other cheating git, Atwell. England was 4th official.
