Ref Watch

Wanker.

As well as his shit decisions we had a total of 2 mins added time in the whole game, that lump who kept rolling around was more than that, 6 subs?, goal celebration, minutes wasted while he fucked about on free kicks, keeper arsing about & him telling Madrid to get on with it.

Wanker.

Very much highlights the problem with refereeing and VAR. Junior refs advance through the ranks based on senior refs marking their performances. If the VAR is junior to the on field ref then he basically has to tell some one who could be pivotal to his career they've made a mistake. If there is going to be a VAR, and I really wish there wasn't, it should only be done by recently retired refs.

Shit from the off mate. **** watched their full back pinch ten yards on several throw ins, and never did fuck all. And then we ended up getting two nonsense bookings

Made me laugh when they were pinching yards for set pieces in their own half. They only did it to get under our skin and break our concentration. One time when our players complained about it they wasted nearly a minute moving the ball and changing who was going to take it

Not even Lahoz would have come up with that performance last night. The offences for which a direct free kick is mandatory were just random. Fuckin' random at best. The LotG make no difference between a foul in the area and one outside it, and yet refs have for years, ever since we've had wall to wall punditry and video recall, ignored fouls in the area for which they readily blow anywhere else. It's cheating, simple, straightforward, cheating. The misapplication of the LotG is, along with standard time-wasting, one of the major blights on the game. Try and engage anyone at FIFA, UEFA, our own FArce, PiGMOL, any whistling wanker about this and you'll be lucky to get a wry smile out of them.

We all moan about that against a team that want to time waste , which if the ref did something about it would waste more time.
If it isn’t in a dangerous zone I think let them get on with it so as not to disrupt our rhythm.

There were some baffling decisions last night. Take the freekick given against Rodder's late on and compare it to the non-penalty against Sterling.

He kept getting in the way of our attacks, and there were numerous fouls that he should have given them a yellow card for. I was prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt, but the longer the game went on the more apparent it became that their was something amiss with the way the game was being officiated.

I hope we employ similar shithousery over there

Jesus was rightfully aggrieved when it bounced off one of their players and went some way down the line and he gave it the other way, then booked Jesus. Christ we can’t get any worse than that for officials in the 2nd leg.

I thought that he was extraordinarily lenient with yellow cards. Could easily have had a couple for City before he remembered he had cards, just as AM could have had a few.

Which Sterling appeal are you referring to?
 
A relatively minor point, but relevant anyway. For CL games the match programme always showed the names and nationality of match officials. At the Sporting 2nd leg it showed the names only, with no indication of where they came from. Last night's programme had no information at all. Is this yet another UEFA rule I wonder ? We're paying high prices for tickets so the least they could do is tell us who ALL the participants are. Imagine going to a concert and the programme doesn't say who's conducting the orchestra.
Never mind, we're only the paying customers.

I think these Uefa refs have a clear idea, before the game kicks off, what they are gonna penalise, the areas where they will award free kicks, and what they are giving cards for, and where they are not. And that is despite what the rest of us see as having happened. Two cards last night for Rodri and Eddie that were nothing infringements.

Referees should have squad numbers just like the players - easy to recognise once you learn the numbers.
