Referees’ Performances | 2024/2025

He was fine because he didn't favour one side. Refs will miss things and as long as it is missed for both, I can live with that. Amazed at the biased blues
Why are you amazed? I also try and watch dispassionately and thought he favoured them big time in the awarding of free kicks (a lot of which is because teams like real and barce are cute at shit like that) basically because he wasn’t good enough. But the big decision was our pen which he gave. So for me he wasn’t biased he just wasn’t very good, imho
 
Two moans.
His positional play was shite hence the collision and other blocks.
The penalty. Foden was getting treated he could, no should have cleared the Madrid players away from the spot. Why did he wait until after ?
Then he spent ages talking to Haaland and then went to the keeper for a chat. All that delay put pressure on Haaland.
Yes he missed stuff for Madrid as well which is why I said he was crap.
Ben Turpin might have been a better ref.
 
I saw the name Madley and feared the worst. However Andy isn't as bad as his brother/cousin Bobbie and while he allowed some thuggery from Newcastle and gave them at least one ridiculous free, he wasn't too bad.

He has nothing to do game was played fairly by both teams, seen him spoil games in the past
 
Thought both teams made his game easy but why the fuck do all of the cunts keep ignoring the treatment that Haaland gets?

Every time there is a chance to get forward, he’s held, dragged, tripped and punched, yet absolutely nothing from the ref.

The biggest name in the PL gets fuck all, yet if it was the likes of Ronaldo for the Rags, he’d be getting a free kick for another player looking at him.

Totally this...Since Pep got Eddie to hit some long balls to him, Haaland get mugged by oppo defenders pretty much pinning his arms and as often as not trying to drag him to the turf...I was brought up playing rugby and that would be a simple 'tackling the man off the ball' offence...so why is this Farce happening in football?
 
Not particularly related to yesterday (although I recall Andy Madleys timekeeping ineptitude in the 1 1 draw against Everton a few years ago) but why can’t they electronically connect the ref’s stopwatch to the scoreboard? One of the great inequalities in football is how some teams seem to get a lot more injury time than others when they need it, also it would make it crystal clear how much unpunished time wasting was going on

If it's a smart watch we'd see the refs private messages from the bookies.

Fuck me, sounds like we need Oliver reffing every single game in every game week to actually get any benefit
They make me piss.

This is the same Michael Oliver who let them take a free kick which lead to a goal before Walker who he called to him hadn't got back in position.

Cry some more Tarquin cunts.

My biggest concern with him yesterday was, as always with him, he isn't animated enough and it looks like he's let things go only for play to them stop.

Move your fucking arms about!!!!

Yeah, it should read that it's strange it's always the same ref that makes shocking decisions.
 
Still wondering why VAR didn't upgrade our free kick for the foul on MacAtee,clearly in the area ,to a penalty in Madrid.
Anybody seen an official explanation?

Not that it mattered greatly, but it was very strange, not even marginal. And a minute later the lengthy VAR check on our goal when it was obvious with the naked eye that the draught excluder was keeping everyone onside by a yard

It’s because Madrid were so involved. Yet again the club should have made a big deal regardless of the score. Having given the foul, VAR should have intervened given it was so near the line.

Madrid have spent 4 weeks complaining about referees and Var. They sent a letter to the Spanish versions of the Premier League and Pigmol openly stating that there was collusion to stop them winning.
They have just had a referee stood down because he dared to send Bellingham off.

I'm only mentioning this, it of course had nothing to do with what you are asking.




Honest
 
That tactical break for a guy 3 feet from the byline was a pisstake. Roll them off the pitch and stop this Arteta made ninsense cos it kills games
