Referees’ Performances | 2024/2025

[tregyblue61]

I'm gonna have to apologise to Twatwell. At the time, I didn't realise it was disallowed for offside; I had the sound right down. Well done VAR for calling the ref to the monitor and getting the right decision.

Oh, Twatwell is still a **** though.

 

[tommybooth]

What a guy.

 

[Blue Mist]

No issues today. He booked Wolves players early on in the game for cynical fouls. To show consistency, booked Savio.
Controlled the free kick when the Wolves dick kept impeding.
All in all, even if we had drawn we can't complain.

 

[Deepest Blue]

Did well today.
Got all the major calls right with the exception of the winner which together with the lino got wrong but when VAR asked him to go to the monitor made the right call in the end.

Wrong, The on field ref tried it on-we have Atwell to thank!!!View attachment 135588

I take it back then , he remains a **** though , lol

 

[TinFoilHat]

EDIT: Just seen that the goal was disallowed on the pitch and that Attwell recommended an on-field review to give us the goal. Hence Kavanagh making the VAR signal before sending it back for the kick off. Sky's coverage was insanely poor in that case!!!

Kavenagh the dipper who disallowed a goal against his beloved club from Stockley park last season.

How come nobody saw him disallow it?

How come nobody saw him disallow it?

Some of us did, or at least realised he did because of events that unfolded 1) City players surrounded him protesting before any mention of a VAR check. 2) After his on field review he made the "TV" gesture and gave the goal indicating he had overturned his own original decision.

He must have disallowed it because when he’d watched the VAR screen on the touch line, he did the square-in-the-air and crossed his arms as if to say ‘changing the decision, it’s a goal’.

hes from ashton

hes from ashton

Forgot to put "loving Manc"

 

[East Level 2]

Atwell tried it on the bent cuntb, well done to the ref for allowing it

Wrong again. Atwell told Kavanagh to change his decision and give the goal.

I'm still not certain the ref disallowed the goal. If he had disallowed it for offside he should have raised his arm to indicate an indirect free kick. None of the clips I have seen show him doing this

That’s because the tv cameras were all on Stones’s celebration. They announced in the stadium, which could be heard on tv, that VAR was checking the disallowed goal so he clearly did at some point.

I assume the same.
I interpreted it that the decision on-field must have been offside as Kavanagh used the TV symbol before giving the goal.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Wrong again. Atwell told Kavanagh to change his decision and give the goal.

I thought Atwell told Kavanaugh to go and look at the monitor and come to his own conclusions?

 

[kaz7]

Wrong again. Atwell told Kavanagh to change his decision and give the goal.

He to!d him to go to the monitor to look for himself , i assume he wasnt told to change his decision

 

[jimharri]

I think a referee will realise that, if he's been told to go and have a look at the monitor, there may well be an issue with the on-field decision. If there isn't, why is he being told to take a look? "You may want to have a look at that decision Chris" is pretty much telling him to change the decision, without actually telling him

There is one clip where the referee and assistant are both in view, obviously in verbal communication and the referee blows, does the sort of drawing a line with his finger thing and the linesman simultaneously puts his flag up.

Hopefully it’ll on the next ‘Mic’d Up’ and we’ll get to hear exactly what was said because it took over 30 seconds to get to that point.
