Referees' Performances | 2025/26

Whilst I think the Ref favoured Wolves players, I'm also aware that might be my blue tinted glasses.

But he clearly wasn't terrible, and no huge howlers. I'm also aware I might have a more negative view on his performance had we not won.
 
Utter garbage today, let Romero intimidate him, let countless shoves on us go unpunished and only four minutes added on in the second half. Really poor performance from the ref.
When Spurs were time wasting with throw ins at the end he pointed to his watch and indicated he would be putting time on, then couple that with the amount of subs 2nd half, 4 mins was a joke.

This is one of the major factors in me largely giving up going to the match. They bring out new directives every year but the refs have a thankless task in the face of flouncing sneering cheating twats constantly tryna run the clock down any way they can.

The only solution is the rugby clock system.
 
No VAR for the challenge on Bobb.
What about the free kick on Rico when he cleanly won the ball. It's shit like this we have to put up with every game. Our players carted until the ref has to blow his whistle or wave play on because somehow we still have the ball. That's no detracting how poor we were today, though.
 
Basically saw the blueprint for timewasting moving forward.

Goalkeepers only have 8 seconds, so we we'll keep changing who takes the throw in and free kick and they won't get yellows until the 85th win.

Surprised he could stand up straight, thought he was spineless today.

What do you expect from a **** with a receed like that.
He can't see his hairline in the mirror, how's he going to see a foul?
 
Admittedly we were shit but the referee was too. We didn’t lose because of him but the amount of time wasted at goal kicks and throw ins, 3 players walking off the pitch as slowly as possible but only 4 mins added. Who said cheating doesn’t pay? These refs can’t control games and allow them to be ruined as a spectacle. Happens all the time.
 
He’s undoubtedly one of the worst of a bad bunch he’s so inconsistent and weak When he booked Richarlison and Nico why didn’t take so long he appeared to be consulting with VAR even though yellows are in their remit?

Was watching on Bein and Gray banging on about Nico being the first to push Richarlison. I think you'll find it was Richarlison on Dias was the first shove.what do I know, I never played professionally.

Poor performance and it started off as he meant to go on letting robust tackles go within mins of kick off. The standard of arbitration within the PL is just grim. They hide behind and deliver their shitty performances on the back of a yellow card in the knowledge that it will shut up a player.

The Brazilian wolverine took five mins getting off. That should clearly have been a booking for taking the piss. Yer just know that if Cherki had strolled off millimetre by millimetre the 'ref' (term used very loosely!) would have ripped off his pocket getting the card outl
 
The ref wasn't great re the time wasting from Spurs. But he wasn't responsible for the messy offside trap for the opening goal. And as for the second goal......

I also see talk on social media (admittedly, from mainly Spurs fans) that Trafford should have been sent off.

think some are catching quick breather he only instructed keeper to take goalkicks once he'd walked back to what he thought was best position
 
no blame on refs and var today

no excuses

We got beat and deservedly and fairly so

The fact that refs have been instructed to let the game be more physical/to not be taken in by the falling over at the slightest contact is going to make a few on here this season very annoyed with our players being bullied off the ball constantly.
