Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

Trevor Morley's Tache said:
Watched a League 1 game last night and the referee (Scott Oldham) was surprisingly good. A couple of minor issues, but nothing that affected the outcome of the match. He should have played on after a foul in the first half, and he missed an obvious drag back late on in the second half. Having said that, the players were pretty honest and not trying to con him at every opportunity which I think is half the problem in the PL.

Said it before, referees do a very difficult job and are promoted through the ranks based only (I hope) on competence. We have seen in the last couple of weeks that they can referee fairly. So if players conning the referee is only half the problem in the PL, what can the other half of the problem be, I wonder?

Interesting that Webb seems to have had a huge promotion drive of new refs this season compared to others.
 
I'm a bit confused after the Doku incident Sunday.

We all think that the referees are on Liverpool's side and give decisions at the drop of a hat (or a Salah). That was a perfect opportunity to screw us over with a late penalty and contribute the to Klopp send off party.

For me (with my blue tinted specs) I reckon Doku played the ball and tried to pull out. If the referee and VAR team were so pro Liverpool surely they could have sent Oliver to the monitor?

It's as if an actual conspiracy isn't real :)

I did think the same being honest.

Liverpool gifted 2 wins in 2 weeks by the refs wouldn't have gone down well with everyone but the ferals.

Double ditto. A second favourable decision in time added on to added on time in consecutive games is not a good position to defend. At the time I didn't even think there would be a VAR review but I am biased

And it would have been the second consecutive match the bottler would have screwed us over against the dippers at Klanfield!

So it isn't obvious and they are trying to hide it?
