Ref Watch

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
 
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.

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.
 
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!
 
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
