The level of refs currently is very low and I think some decisions are questionable. But while the dippers do appear to be favoured quite often I can see no obvious coordinated attempt to do us and the stats tend to back this up. Decisions change games and when they go against you they can take years to forget.
I complated becoming one as it happens years ago but these days Father Paul is just about able to run for a bus.Are you a referee yourself?

Yeh he was ok but it changed when he failed to give Fulham a clear penalty in the last minute at the swamp, when Carrick fouled Murphy. The 11/12 title run in. He has gotten more bent as time has passed.He was the best when he first started but really has dipped last two seasons. He seemed fair and unbiased but then like seems to happen to them all has slipped into the usual ways.
We’vea great record with Oliver refereeing. Last 10 games we’ve won 7, drew 1, lost 2 (Chelsea and Liverpool away). We’ve received 12 yellow cards in those games and no red cards. He’s never sent a city player off.
We’ve won every single FAC and League cup game he’s refereed.
Once we're a couple of goals up Mason eases off. Oliver is unrelenting.For me, the worst of the lot is Lee Mason.
Wasn't he still booking our lads willy nilly at Watford when we dicked them last season?Once we're a couple of goals up Mason eases off. Oliver is unrelenting.
