Howard Webb

Pawson is clearly out of his depth at this level, as so many of them are.

Best thing Scudamore could do with the money in our league is invest in a pool of the worlds most talented refs and have the very best officiating our games rather than the clueless buffoons we are having to endure every week.

They should also have to attend a post match press conference like under pressure managers have too, some about to lose their jobs because of ridiculously shit decisions they make every week and explain how they can get it so wrong!

And show them a replay of the incident and ask them to explain it.

It looked totally clear cut from behind the goal, the deliberate movement of the defender's leg into Aguero was very obvious. I was surprised when I saw the telly pics that it didn't look quite as certain, but this was one of those occasions when I know I had a better view than the cameras.

The ref was a long way behind so I can understand him not giving it, it was down to the lino. Not sure what sort of view he had.

I was right in line with the linesman, it was a clear view from side-on but tbf looking from that angle live I couldn't be 100% certain that the defender hadn't got a slight touch on the ball. I thought the ref was poorly positioned, too far behind the play. By contrast the handball in the area that the same lino didn't give looked obvious from much the same angle.

I've no idea what Webb was banging on about, it's a stonewaller from the TV replays.

I nearly pissed myself when he said the ref had to be 100% sure when you think of some of the soft ones he gave.

But he was always 100% where the scum were involved.

A player, de Bruyne, questions a decision and the card is out

In fairness he also booted the ball into the stands.

They live in a bubble right now, safe in the knowledge that poor performance will not do for their careers, no matter what the assessors at games or the PGMOL would like you to think.

that would require a level of honesty not found in those circles.

Say hello to my little friend Mr. Scudamore et al. ...

...ever hear of long arm statues and minimum contacts?

Would have been more fitting had he gone the whole hog and booted Pawson into the stands.

Agree completely.
