Referees/Officials 2017/18 performances

I'm convinced the refs are getting the message from above to not book or dismiss players unnecessarily, especially in big games. It ruins the TV value, or something. Anyone else think this?
No, Delph and Otamendi were booked for their first fouls.
 
I'm fairly certain we're going to see more physicality and red card worthy offenses given a pass by referees as I lived through this with Pep's Barcelona too. When the opposition can't outfootball you, they resort to the dark arts so long as there are permissive referees
 
Although young Craig wasn't as bad as some of the Whistling Wankers we've have recently, he still comes up short. The referees' performances are generally inadequate. There are too many pressures on them (I'm in generous mode for a second or two!) and they will produce decisions which will 'conform with issued instructions'! Every single weekend is characterised by such variation in the application of the Laws of the Game that aliens might think they were watching two different sports.

And I cannot get into my head, and for it to stay there for a comforting moment or two, that VAR will produce anything better. In fact, from what I've seen so far via VAR application it's just a little shambolic.
 
Madley needs investigating. This isn't being inept at your job it is blatant corruption. That's twice in as many games he's tried to fuck us over.

Said it on match day thread ref can influence the game like no one else can.
