Not sure how refs being human excuses the shit shows we see every week go unpunished. Strange hill to die on, mate.For jumping into the crowd or taking their shirts off, yes. Not sure how that is relevant to refereeing subconsiousness.

I haven’t seen it. The referee will have seen what he saw and given the decision.How do you explain the penalty that Wolves got on Sunday. The fellah made sure that he tripped himself up by dragging his leg across the City defender. No appeal from Wolves, and Wolves fans laughing at the decision. I can't remember laughing myself at such a decision. A human shouldn't make that kind of error considering the experience and number of games they'd reffed. I can put it in the 'useless' reffing category but at this level a mistake like that should result in a termination of the fellah's appointments.
I just wonder whether, after a VAR intervention and a goggle at the pitchside monitor had they been available, he would have changed his mind.

Have you ever refereed a match? It‘s really hard when 22 players are trying to cheat and 50k fans screaming at you whilst the game is moving at 100mph.Not sure how refs being human excuses the shit shows we see every week go unpunished. Strange hill to die on, mate.

Have a look on the highlights. I'm fucked if I can understand what he saw! I think it revolves more on wanting to give a pen than actually witnessing a penal offence.I haven’t seen it. The referee will have seen what he saw and given the decision.
Yes I have. Not quite 50k, but then I was only getting £20 for it and hadn't been through all the levels of refereeing to get to the PL. Have you?Have you ever refereed a match? It‘s really hard when 22 players are trying to cheat and 50k fans screaming at you whilst the game is moving at 100mph.

I don't know man, their fucking job is to not be biased, but hey, they only human, fuck thatNo, I’m saying that referees are human and the only way to remove any subconscious bias is to have robots as referees.

Yes. And not with players running at 35kph. They're making split second decisions under extreme pressure and then forensically pulled apart in slow motion.Yes I have. Not quite 50k, but then I was only getting £20 for it and hadn't been through all the levels of refereeing to get to the PL. Have you?

Do you know what subconscious bias is? A referee can be swayed without knowing it. How do you stop that?I don't know man, their fucking job is to not be biased, but hey, they only human, fuck that

I’ll try in a bit. If it’s a shocker, then it’s a good example of what VAR should be there for.Have a look on the highlights. I'm fucked if I can understand what he saw! I think it revolves more on wanting to give a pen than actually witnessing a penal offence.
