Sky Mic up ref in women's game.

Shame they don't seem so arsed to do it for a PL match.

There was the classic miking up of Harrow schoolmaster David Elleray for a Millwall v Arsenal game.
Tony Adams told where to go... and a nice half-time cuppa

And David's Gran complains about Purple Nose at the start of this clip...

Let hope today's refs doesn't think we're Bologna

The utterly random nature of added on time is one of my bugbears. 2nd half today there were two goals, 6 subs and the pen VAR farce took 3 mins yet they only added on 3 mins.

It was just as important today as it would be if we need an injury time goal against Villa to win the league on goal difference. There should be more accountability.

Not so much the ref but why the 3 minutes for a var check today ? No one complained about the award so whatcwere they looking at?
After the penalty thecrefvthen spent 2 minutes talking to the 4th official and the Watford manager, why ?

According to the mcfc commentary, the ref couldn’t hear the VAR team. The commentates could but the ref couldn’t.

There should be no variation in one game to the next. If a ref has a mic in one game then all the games should be the same!

Bizarrely the ref apparently couldn't find the button that stopped his watch.

The penalty was awarded 14 seconds in, and they were still on the touch line after the 50 minute mark. Five different stoppages for subs, and yet we still got the regulation 3 minutes added time.

Normalise bullshit decisions and nobody will notice.

Why always us?
