Ref Watch City Games - 2023/24

[MillionMilesAway]

If I remember correctly didn't Jack Taylor an English referee ref the 1974 West Germany v Holland World Cup Final.

And quite a lot of other Englishmen have reffed Germany and France .... not all in competitive internationals, but certainly some in qualifiers and tournament matches.

I would imagine the Argentina thing is more to do with the impact of the war on the Argentine psyche, than a reflection on English referees. We have fought wars with everyone - there would be no-one left to play if we held grudges.

Got some decisions wrong, to be sure, but I much prefer seeing the ref let the game flow like against Villa.

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

Been fine. Few things either way so no bother.

 

[Axel Freed]

Yet another game where a win shouldn’t see us spare this fucker the condemnation he deserves.

Are they all under instructions not to book players who commit bookable offences against us early on in games ?

His failure to send Luiz off was inexcusable

It’s definitely by design can’t not be a coincidence..

The referee did my head in toward the end of the second half, especially with the “if he wasn’t already on a yellow, that would be a yellow” application of the rule for Luiz’s hard swing to the back of Foden’s legs, but he was better in the second half.

 

[TinFoilHat]

We beat the dipper ****.

Had a face like a slapped arse giving Phil the match ball.

 

[Blue Mist]

Yet again it was about game management for the TV audience.

He did, and the Wolverhampton butcher screwed over those Dutch lads.
