Ref Watch

Typical clueless continental ref.

Half the time, they look panicked that they have to make a decision after getting caught out staring at the flags on the top of the stands to see which way the wind is blowing.

They don’t know the game at all. They fall for dives but don’t pick up serious fouls, they don’t know where to stand or where to run, they are often miles away from the play and then sprint over to make it look like they’re on top of things.

And it’s not just against us, de Bruyne should have been sent off in Paris, poor one that was missed… the ref tonight missed about six or seven bookings yet booked Laporte for not touching his opponent.

The Euro refs are utterly inept.

Best one has to be the linesman giving the corner at the end. You could see in the replay that he wasn’t even watching! Still no idea who overruled him because the referee was in no position to decide.
 
This match shows it is, or certainly can be, corrupted to try and get the outcome you want. Someone in the match day thread commented after about 20 minutes that the ref was being told what decisions to give. The poster assumed it was via the ear piece. This was confirmed when they over ruled the corner.
VAR cannot intervene for that kind of decision so why is 'someone' telling the ref what to award ?

Because the game is bent. About the only thing got that Keown said tonight that was sensible was that he had never seen that before and it was via the ref‘s earpiece that the right decision was made. Why aren’t the media all over this as well as the club. Corruption before your very eyes swept underneath the carpet. Pretty sure it goes on at PL level as well.

Cheers mate, Thanx for that.

I caught some of those fouls they missed.

There was a situation at 56:40 where the ref gave a throw in for Bruges after being alarmed by the lino across the pitch. Staggering stuff.
