Even Keith Hackett has called out Despot Dermot on his bullshit in the past.
I wouldn’t say ‘even’ Keith Hackett. He’s pretty much the go to guy if you’re looking for criticism of current referees.
I don’t know who’s upset him but he’s certainly binned his refs union membership a long time ago.

In it's current guise, the the PGMOL is not fit for purpose, and the constant gaslighting from the PL and its broadcaster, Sky (and other broadcasters, to whom the PL allow to broadcast games, no doubt under strict conditions, of which I suspect one condition is to toe the party line when it comes to refereeing decisions) it just makes the whole thing a mess.
He was shite, so was the last one and the one before that etc etc.
They’re pretty much to a man all fucking shite with one or two having the odd week when they’re not completely shite but just a bit shite.
Hopefully the next generation coming through are less shite but I won’t hold my breath.

I did hear that Blooper owns a second hand shop.Van Dijk had to completely rip the guy's arm out of its socket, twist it off the shoulder, and fling it over the crossbar before VAR would intervene.

He's been upset since he was binned off by pgmol. Anything he says must be taken with a huge pinch of saltI wouldn’t say ‘even’ Keith Hackett. He’s pretty much the go to guy if you’re looking for criticism of current referees.

It doesn’t automatically mean he’s wrong, no.
I was just making the small point that saying ‘even’ Keith Hackett is criticising something to do with current refereeing , is the equivalent of saying something like ‘even’ Rio Ferdinand is now hoping City get beat every week.

The referee’s inability to take any action against Fulham for time wasting and then triumphantly booking Ederson for the slightest pause was complete and utter PIGMOB bias and we’ve seen it too many times for it to be coincidence

Why was he binned off?
He was actually one of the better referee's (which I appreciate isn't saying much), and I'm not sure he was actually 'binned off'. I think he'd just had enough of the way it was going, and reading between the lines he was probably right to go when he did.
