Its the rooney one thats worse. If One of ours had done that then it be on 24/7 from all angles inc google earth and in slow motion and today/tomorrow would be the official charge. But as Utd its glossed over and not showen on a loop so another they have got away with

He gave the free kick so even as bent as PGMOL are, they wouldn't get away with that. The Clattenburg/Adebayor incident, where he is alleged to have changed his report so they could charge Ade with the offence he's already been booked for, was a slightly different scenario.

Interesting that both Graham Poll & Keith Hackett were praising Oliver's "near perfect" display in the media today. The man-handling of Henderson and failure to give a penalty/card, failure to issue a card of any sort to Rooney for his attempted leg-break and allowing yet another offside goal to stand were conveniently overlooked. Or maybe that's what they meant by "near perfect" and his mistake was giving Liverpool a penalty.
 
Assuming the 'manhandling of henderson' was Pogba throwing Henderson to the floor, i think a penalty would have been a little dubious as it was in the Liverpool area.
Rooney should have been booked for the Milner challenge.

The linesman who took it upon himself to stand several yards away from his correct position should be fired/demoted/scourged and beheaded.
 
Just watching escape to victory and I'm almost certain it's Anthony Taylor refereeing the games, some shocking decisions going on



And it's definitely showsec doing the security

17 fouls from Everton 7 from us.
Yet 2 bookings each?
Seems balanced.

The repetitive fouling without consequence really does influence the game.
Holgate & Funis Mori, Barry & Davies could foul at will.
That gives you a freedom to defend much more vigorously. Holgate, Mori & Davies could have all been booked early. Their whole attitude would have been different. Their freedom to tackle limited.

How Holgate escaped a yellow for his drag back and trip as Aguero ran into the box lord only knows. I'm surprised Silva didn't suffer whiplash after Mori jumped right through him.

We do appear to be losing out on the really big calls. But I think the repetitive fouling without punishment is costing us more.

Clattenburg had to told by Sergio that Funes Mori had committed a succession of fouls. He paused to think about it, possibly getting instructions from elsewhere, before calling Funes Mori over to tell him to cut it out. The mug even counted out on his fingers three transgressions just in case there was a language problem. So there you have it, no yellows but the fouls had been noted. To compound his non-action he booked David for his first foul on Davies. The same Davies that had been hacking at him throughout the match. David's face told the tale,he just laughed at the unequal rules that we play under.

Demoted for helping the rags?????

First for everything I suppose....
 
It says that they are happy with the refereeing we have been subjected to, more scripted than the wrestling.
 
I'd love to know the rules for how they get demoted.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the west ham lad winning his appeal therefore it was a mistake. Meanwhile obvious mistakes like "not sending off" can't be appealed by anyone.

DT this morning saying he has been removed after a series of mistakes, all of which could have been avoided by the use of video tech!

There's a major article this morning in the DT about abuse towards amateur refs. They are thinking of going on strike. I support those amateur refs absolutely. I reffed a game on Debdale Park about thirty five years ago and got an earhole of abuse from the off from one of the 'managers'. After listening to it for a good five or ten minutes - every, and I mean every, decision questioned - I went over and said I was booking him. Was he gonna give me his name? WHF! So I went to the other manager and said that as he wasn't telling me his name I was gonna abandon the game. It was his home game so he called the team and said 'Take the nets down, boys!' Ah, the joys of some of the games in the G&DSL!

I think a major point is that the example that refs like Taylor, Mason and Crappenberg set determines how some of these amateur refs are treated. The FArce and PiGMOL must take their own fair share of the blame in the way they deal with players and clubs.

The state of amateur reffing these days does not surprise me one bit.

(1) that's a Sun headline, and therefore probably inaccurate
(2) how can someone be demoted and given a privilege at the same time?
(3) 'Celebrity ref'? Invent a story, and then report on it, thus perpetuating and masking the invention? He isn't a celebrity ref; that's Clattenburg.
(4) Barnsley-Leeds is televised, so it's hardly hiding him.

He's just been rotated to the TV match, not really a demotion.
