Ref for Utd (h) - Sunday

[Phil1]

This is correct. I don't think people understand the refs aren't on a birds eye view they're eye level amongst players moving very quickly. I listened to Poll once who said a fair percentage of decisions are made on what they've heard rather than seen, as the game is just too fast to catch everything by sight.
I think people will only ever appreciate how hard it is if we had a few games where a ref used a go pro. Then every single fan of e wry single club who believe their own club is a constant victim will see it's simply just refs being human - and making mistakes.

I'd love to see that experiment get done.

Then the powers that be need to reavaluate how games are reffed because at this present moment we've got more poor ones than good. I agree that the game has become faster, players fitter and cheats more plentiful but that just adds to the argument that we need to do more to help them.
I don't think any of them are out to get us, I just think they're mostly inadequate and too many games are being decided by their decisions.

Agree with that

This thread would be the same whoever the ref was.

 

[1961_vintage]

Over the season so far, we've probably had more good calls than bad, I'd estimate giving us 3 or 4 extra points, so if we get the odd bad one it's just evening it's self out.

Not sure Andy. Read recently that if video refs were in play this season, City would top the table due to the shit decisions we have had being reviewed and corrected.

 

[ballinio]

Eh? Fancy listing those favourable ones that would give us the extra points against the 'odd' bad one?

He doesn't believe a word of that

 

[franksinatra]

Andy Garratt is my brothers best mate and he thinks some of the refs are shit

Well I would not listen to him he changes like the wind

 

[kaz7]

He is one of the best linesman there is as joey barton found out in a certain game in 2012,i watch him and he gets very few things wrong,his opinion of the some of the refs is unrepeatable and frustrates the hell out of him

 

[blue b4 the moon]

Is this true?
How can he be given the job after is completely and utter failure in the same fixture last season?

When will this fucking season be over, totally out of his depth last time he did us v the rags at ours.

So different to when he was saying prem refs were the best in the world etc and get 98.5 percent of decisions right.

According to himself he was ninth on the list for getting decisions right.

 

[Corky]

He owes us several penalties, pay back time.

You can ignore what i tell you his private thoughts are if you want so it doesn't dent your case,i know what goes on better than you ever will

The cynicism on here is unbelievable at times :-)

 

[franksinatra]

I will ignore them as like I say they change like the wind. Anyone who gives interviews lauding the standard of refereeing but then in private slates his colleagues is not somebody I would choose to listen to.

By his own volition he was the ninth best which suggests if there is a problem he is part of it.

Because nobody else in the world says one thing in public and another in private,ok then,enjoy your head in the sand pidge

No I just don't value the opinion of someone who chooses to give an interview, provides stats to show how good his colleagues are and then slates them privately.

No offence Karen but I do not know you from Adam either.

Like I say I'm sympathetic to refs and my views pretty much echo Andy Garratts based on the interview with him. If he actually does not believe it then it's a poor show. Why give the interview? Why choose to lie?

If it wasn't for the fact you knew him you would probably be highlighting this as an example of an officials dishonesty.

after what happened with fucking clatterburg this season when we get him for spurs home game after the most clear daylight robbery at WHL now we get this fucking pathetic shit motehfucker who turned down 4 YES FOUR stonewall penalties for us in the same fixture last year ....and there are still people on here who don t believe they are fucking corrupt or there is no agenda against us....incredible

 

[5948947]

One of the worst in the league imo along with twattenberg roger east and lee the pig mason

At Spurs De Bryune was offside for his goal
But Walker was so far offside it was a shocking decision

Stop watching then, I can't fathom why anyone would watch a sport that they believed was so blatantly rigged and corrupt.

Que the line... " I am watching in the hope it changes"
