Referees/Officials Thread - 2023/24

[Churchlawtonblue]

Jenas publicly apologising for criticising the ref after some respect the ref campaign fwitter account called him out and suggested that kind of behaviour leads to abuse and even violence against refs like that seen when Taylor was at the airport.

Jenas is a proper wet wipe for bowing to this, if that was me I'd be telling that campaigner to get fucked for claiming criticism from public figures is responsible for the nutjobs that decide to take it further. One isnt responsible for the other. Pathetic behaviour all round.

I think it was more the terminology he used. He called Jones a Shit house. Lol

I have given up moaning about the Bent officials and VAR because Manchester City have found a way to beat the system, if Rodri sending off happened 5 years ago even at 2.0 up we would not have won that game and we would have lost control and Pep sent to the stands.

I think we have found a little bit of magic and just smile and move on, I Know Pep ? let the match officials have their day and never let it happen again or he's all over them, No words are needed just a very Mad Pep face speaks volumes

Antony Taylor is the worst man-managed referee in the system, You just know he's been told to do a job on a team from above because he overdoes it and makes it look Bad, Rodri red card was spot on and no other options really, But when it's the yellow cards that starts to flow from Taylor you know better cut it out and get control back fast,

This is just the most obvious way to manipulate a team's fortunes. I've long moaned about the lack of even-handedness when it comes to yellow card sanctions. At the EFC game I was listening to on the way home from our game, Ash the Crash got booked in the second minute for some offence. A few minutes later Doucoure was making his way out of his half and was dragged back. He got the free but the perpetrator got away with the yellow card. The commentry team, bless 'em, couldn't understand how there wasn't some kind of parity. How many times have we seen City players booked for grabbing somebody by the arm or shirt and bringing their progress to an abrupt halt. Those yellow cards mount up and you lose a player for a game, whilst some team can field the villains without a problem.

That is what I am seeing in a nutshell,as I’m sure we all(near enough)do.Keep the league interesting,..they’re 2-0 up ffs,got to try and keep it interesting..,too good,let’s not make it even easier for them..,any chance,let’s fuck ‘em up if poss.Pep knows it,.’we do this without ANY help at all’,and it’s so very true.Makes the achievements even more outstanding,not that anyone else would notice…

We've got the Liverpool fan on Wednesday night.
He gave a shocker against us last season although I can't remember which one it was.

Absolutely wank. We are totally reffed differently to everyone else

There was an absolute CHASM in the way the LOTG were applied between the two teams.
