Referees/Officials 2017/18 performances

[waspish]

Atkinson given the FA Cup semi between Chelsea and Southampton.

Taylor gets the rags and Spurs.

Unbelievable

They you go the cheating k.int rewarded for the shocker he had against us.

 

[Bodicoteblue]

Irrespective of taylor’s Club allegiances, the very fact that he comes from greater Manchester and is allowed to referee a club from the same area, in a high profile semi-final, should raise eyebrows and at least be a cause for concern for everyone, not just spuds fans. There are referees all over the country with no regional connection to either of these two clubs, who would be qualified to take this game.
It’s almost as if the FA don’t give a toss about looking even vaguely fair and clean.

They never have done and never will until the "Old Boys" running the FA are pensioned off. I was going to put shot but thought better of it.

 

[Blue Mooner]

So there you go, message sent loud and clear to fellow referees. You successfully shaft MCFC and get away with it you will be handsomely rewarded. Job Done.

 

[Dirty Harry]

Atkinson given the FA Cup semi between Chelsea and Southampton.

Taylor gets the rags and Spurs.

Unbelievable

Both appointments are equally disgraceful, if I was a member of THFC I would do everything in my power to get that changed.

 

[silvasankle]

So, how will we get fucked over tonight in CL , lets wait and see

And our next few referees will all be competing for the cup final appointment. The 'Who can shaft City the most' competition starts at Spurs.

 

[silvasankle]

Sane's goal was just wrongfully disallowed

 

[ballinio]

Sane's goal was just wrongfully disallowed

And here we go again

 

[Gabriel]

Is VAR in the CL next year? That is absolutely scandalous.

 

[Esteban de la Sexface]

I'm packing in watching football after this season. It is corrupt as fuck and giving me ulcers or worse

 

[blueinsa]

Pure luck the CL and UEFA decide who gets through and who wins and the officials make sure it gets done.

Robbed yet again.

 

[jay_mcfc]

4 goal swing on bad decisions so far in this tie. Disgraceful. We really need to kick up a fuss about this, it's unacceptable.

 

[urban genie]

2 legitimate goals in this tie not given should be 3-3 on ag or at least 3-2.
Looked like ref clearly refused to acknowledge Pep went straight to Arteta then.

 

[Esteban de la Sexface]

What's the **** booked Bernardo for?

 

[Gabriel]

Pure luck the CL and UEFA decide who gets through and who wins and the officials make sure it gets done.

Robbed yet again.

Yet we all turn up to watch it again, and again, and again.

 

[blueinsa]

What's the **** booked Bernardo for?

Daring to point out it was a penalty for handball.

Pep sent to the stands for daring to point out a goal should have stood.

Cant wait for the next 45 mins of this ref and his linesmen lol

 

[BlueyBoy]

they're trying to force pep out

 

[silvasankle]

and pep was just sent off as well

 

[madloaf]

Here's how Sane's goal should have gone.

Linesman flags for offside.
Referee talks to the official behind the goal. Did it come off a Man City player?
No
That's not offside then.
Goal.

Why didn't this happen?

Silva was booked for Intentional handball. Milner who handballed it was not.
