The referees are shit, in my opinion

The referees are generally good. They have a very difficult job and get far too much bloody stick. I’d have our Prem refs over the terrible European refs any day.

They could definitely be better. But they’re not helped by wanker footballers constantly cheating, diving, feigning injury, claiming for everything and unrealistic fans who do nothing but complain about them all the time like they have no understanding that there is such a thing as human error and are a bit deluded when it comes to that.

We get the quality of referees we deserve in this sport because of the cheating players and the moaning fans. What sort of person would want to be a ref faced with a load of arseholes like they get from players and fans in football? The talent pool of referees is smaller than it would be if players stopped cheating and fans got real.
 
That's a penalty isn't it?

Arm away from the body, they get given. Even though it isn't deliberate.

Classic example of a VAR handball, not deliberate but the result of making the handball rule 'simpler'.

I know cricket gets stick from a lot on here but quite often umpires are helped by people walking off if they’ve edged it or owning up if they’ve not caught it but it looks as though they have.

Not always but it’s the generally done thing.

Football is too tribal unfortunately and people are too angry.
 
If you think and know that is sure penalty then you are probably 50% correct - VAR may give it or it might not.
 
Be gutted if that was given against us. Where do you expect his arms to be and he’s a yard away. That shouldn’t be given imo. One not given that should have been and one given that shouldn’t have been
