Linesmen are being influential and making bad decisions Mike Riley stepping it up this season

There was an ex PL ref on the radio this week (can't remember which) having a rant about Dean. Basically saying he's unfit, past it, lost the plot etc etc

After watching that pathetic display I know exactly what he means

anyone got a link to the Sterling incident? look a pen from my angle but clearly the refs were influenced by earpiece to book Sterling 10 seconds after the fact, Dean seems to be exclusively reffed by earpiece these days, just look at Fegouhli.

At the time, viewing from Block 219, I thought that Jesus was waiting for a clumsy challenge, and in doing so, allowed the Swansea defender to hook the ball clear. There was definitely some holding, but I suspected that Dean was unsighted, and would have to rely on the linesman.

I was convinced that the challenge on Sterling was a nailed-on penalty.

Now that I've seen the replays on TV, the Jesus incident is sometimes given, but often ignored, mainly because the ref is undecided.
Sterling didn't dive, but equally his touch was too heavy, which might have affected the linesman's judgement. As for contact, I've watched it a few times on a dodgy stream and still can't decide.

We're in a war with the authorities and refereeing is one of the battlegrounds. We will win the war but there are going to be casualties.

Yep, us.

Llorente should of walked for an Elbow to Kolarov

It was a similar situation to the first Chelsea goal yesterday. Bellerin, has to go off for getting elbowed in the kite. Neville says he got absolutely battered there, Shearer (cnut) on MOTD says no foul. When did getting elbowed in the face, not be a foul? Using arms for leverage? Exactly, FOUL!

Was it a pen in the second half for handball?

 

[RayCTID]

The handball would of been an harsh one but I thought the one on Sterling (got a booking for the trouble) could of easily given if it was one of our rivals.
