Referees/Officials

[TBooksbluearmy]

rnblade:- Now come on the laws of the game are open to the interpretation of the individual referee. Do you know that 1 of the laws actually states that the team who scores the most goals wins the game.

Fairness, Honesty, impartiality & unbiased control of a match is all we ask for from a match official. Is that too much to ask for???
If I behaved the way some of these clowns do when I umpire hockey, I would have my license revoked.

The way Pep is interviewed by the media as opposed to PEG this would have no effect, we've seen how only certain actions get looked at and thus would be the same.

The only way it would work would be questions asked from the teams managers rather than the press.

The biggest problem with referees at the moment is just plain incompetence in my opinion, rather than anything more sinister. I appreciate that the game is faster than ever, and that it is undoubtedly an incredibly difficult job, but the current crop of refs are probably the worst I can remember. It says a lot when Clattenburg and Atkinson are the two best.

The sooner some form of video reffing comes in, the better.

Every week there is more discussion post games about the ref mistakes than there is about the teams and result,i just don't know why the ref's body are happy with so many mistakes,i do think there are teams who are favoured and those who aren't,it's human nature to not be completely impartial

The Alty Tit wasn't even 25% impartial - I'd go 17% impartial and 83% partial.

Judging by forums, fans of virtually every team feel that their particular side are the most hard done by referees.

I wonder how the CFC fans thought Taylor had swindled them? Or that Mason had screwed the Burnley fans?

I'm sure there are other games where they felt they were hard done by.

Come on Ric, no one in their right mind can say that we get a fair crack of the whip. Fir example when Sergio get done for a supposed elbow which probably didn't make contact yet a week later Ibrahimavic elbowed Otamendi in the head, resulting in stitches, yet on review it was deem d as being acceptable.

Did they have a point about moaning re the Spuds game? I never saw anything of that match but the score is often a clue. We beat Burnley fair and square but the Bolton Knob still put in one of the most incompetent displays, setting the red card aside, and there was plenty to moan about his performance! I can see where genuine fans come from because there are endless instances of 'fouls' ignored and the near identical 'tackle' is called seconds after for the opposite team!
