Ref Watch

[Chi-town blues]

That was the worst ive seen since Lee Mason stepped onto the pitch here.

More like Clattenburg on his final days .

 

[moomba]

He should be congratulated on his promotion from incompetent VAR official to incompetent ref.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Absolutely piss poor performance by the officials,all game.

Their penalty was one of those commentators sometimes describe as great defending,if the player played for utd or liverpool,that is.
A penalty against for everyone else,probably rightly.

Ours was as soft as they come.

The reffing seems to be going downhill so fast it's ruining the game alongside the misuse of var.

Gave a yellow instead of the clear red card for the disgusting tackle on Rodri so if we got the benefit of a " soft " pen it feels like karma.

But the dipper loving **** of a referee was shit throughout the game.

 

[I'm Blue]

Bet the **** burns his tea every night while he stands there letting the time just past by.
They took the piss today and he let them.

 

[Skip Donoghue]

Both pens for me, but that snidy ex red **** for them should have walked for the challenge on Rhodri, the snide fucker

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

He should be congratulated on his promotion from corrupt VAR official to corrupt ref.

Amended for the purposes of integrity.

 

[grandsolo]

To be honest he wasn't that bad. Got all the big calls right.

I didn't see the game today.

Neither did the ref

That’s saying something. Mason was the worst ref ever IMO.

There hasn't been a ref at The Etihad this season who has managed to climb out of the cesspit, and this one was fifty feet down. The crappiest of the crappy. The worrying thing is that they are not gonna improve. Yer feel for folk like Bernardo who simply want impartiality and fair play from these wankers but today he was incensed over something, and he got a yellow for his troubles. How many refs hide behind their cards as a substitute for applying the LotG as they are written.

And why did the clown Attwell take so long over the VAR header. If it takes that long then there's no case for offside. I bet he counted two fuckin' hairs in the Haarland pony tail and called it!

I'll call that and raise it with a Peter Walton

 

[FSD]

Today was like a good non league Sunday game where the ref doesn’t turn up and you end up with coach from the other team as the ref. Couldn’t have been more blinkered if he had tried.

Wow I didn’t say biased which is what I mean. Clown doesn’t do him justice.

The clown was in the VAR shed wankin' himself almost senseless when Erling's header went in and he could two-finger us with a disallowed goal.

What I can't understand is why refs do absolute sweet fuck all about blatant time wasting. It's apparent to everybody that the goalie today was deliberately running down the clock and the ref just stands there as though he's on the fourth plinth in Trafalgar Square.

It's the scourge of the game, the obvious time wasting by these anti-football teams is the thing that really needs stamping out, goalies are of course the biggest culprits and 86th minute yellow card is not the answer

 

[the-ecstacy-of-eight]

Consistency is pretty much all we ask for.

Snide Van Djyk and Robertson pushes from behind when the attacker is about to shoot - Red Card and penalty (if it's in the box).

Fernandez chasing the ref around and giving out verbals when he disagrees with decisions - Yellow card.

Just like Cancelo and Bernardo got today.

But the issue, for me at least, is that they appear to interpret the laws of the game differently depending on who they're officiating.

Guess u didn't see the game....

Bit harsh on the ref that, he clearly stood there pointing at his watch every time Leno took 3 days to do anything. It clearly had the desired effect as Leno took that as the signal to keep doing it and take as long as you want.

 

[MrCheeseGrater]

Haven't seen a referee get that much stick since Palace at home last season. Even after the half time whistle the boos and the 'your not fit to referee' chants were still going strong. ****

Yeah, PiGMOL would tell us that the ref has to develop the right kind of 'dynamic' depending on the game, and we have seen some teams get away with 'red murder' compared to the straitjacket the same ref imposes on other teams. Another instance today where one of ours was clearly fouled and play on, and the entire row were in agreement that the next nudge on an oppo with much less force is judged a foul, and sure enough!

 

[the talisman]

Said this numerous times on here over the years, time wasting is an absolute curse and so simple to stop.
A clock that runs when the ball is in play, 30 minutes each half.
Job done
