Ref Watch

[mat]

Refereed us 4 times in the league this season, 3 wins and a draw.

Everton 0-1 City
City 7-0 Leeds
Liverpool 2-2 City
Leicester 0-1 City

I'm more concerned about the Dipper in VAR.

We scored more goals than Liverpool in our last league match against them yet we shared the points. If referees are going to chalk off legal goals (as also happened in the Champions League against, guess who, Liverpool again) then it gets a little difficult to 'take it out of the hands of the referees'.

They can perhaps get away with one or two of those in a game at most if you factor in a tight offside call without it looking blatantly obvious.

The problem is that we have to score the PERFECT goal for them not top have the opportunity to bring in VAR for something that happened 25 seconds before the ball went in the net. We have to be on our absolute A-game to stop a determined set of officials from screwing us over.

We always used to blame the ref for everything ,well now there is VAR so there are no excuses, we also have TV`s that can record play in slow motion or freeze frame, so SKY came up with an ex pro telling us that what we see is not real, that we should listen to them instead, fair enough but even this provides controversy, liverpool have regained their record of most penalties since the start of the EPL they also have the record of longest run since conceding a penalty at home, not bad for a team that has never been the best team, but where it really shows is how many points won or lost through penalties, now that is a table where we are nowhere near the top

Dippers get Marriner as ref and Dipper Dean on Var for Newcastle.

We have Tierney and the Dippers pet official Darren England on Var (how is he appointed so much for Dippers and our games). Lets hope Tierney is consistent as he booked 6 Leeds players recently in their defeat to the Rags, no doubt we will be kicked all over the park with him allowing it and cards left in his pocket

Sent Bellers off for diving. The defender knew he'd fouled him, but I think Crappenberg was looking at a red for Bellamy as part of some previous. One of the worst, and there's some absolute shockers out there, to waste his breath blowing down the whistle. Whenever he appeared it was always a precursor to the film 'The Greatest Showman"!

Don’t forget Sterling v the Spuds when he turned his back on a cross and it hit him without Sterling not even seeing the ball, debatable if was in the box. Clattenburg did that going down on his haunches excitedly pointing straight arm at the penalty spot, deranged lunatic.

This description fits him perfectly.

I think we need two or three perfect goals, without a hint of offside, ball carried from our half and the ball carrier scores, no contact whatsoever by anybody in sky blue. and all within the first thirty minutes! I think the problem is not so much chalking off good goals, but not awarding free kicks which the opposition seem to get every five minutes!

That's their latest wheeze, playing on when we are fouled around the area in a promising position but stopping play when it happens near our own.

You've forgotten the wait until City break, wait a little longer until we are well inside the oppontents half and then........ stop play for a nothing injury to an opponent near our area. You then restart with a drop ball where because a Watford player is stood 2 yards away you have no option but to play it back.
