Referees' Performances | 2025/26

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Loads of shit decisions by him in our games....that Chelsea game with Luis staying on and Fern & Kun getting reds effectively handing Chelsea the league is the main one for me but, I'll chuck in Delphs red at Wigan in the cup too.

That Chelsea game was the game where Ian Cheeseman lost his shit and ended up parting company with thr BBC shortly afterwards. Absolutely bent as fuck that performance from Alty; it's not even up for debate.

I tell you what. Just watching the Chelsea game again. The non-penalty decision from Palmer on Doku was checked and cleared within 10-15 seconds by VAR.

That’s outrageous really.

That’s outrageous really.

But just in keeping with how we are refereed.

I watched,Match Officials Mic'd up on Monday.
Webb and Owen spent a third of the programme on Spurs's penalty at Sunderland being correctly overturned,explaining the different angles ect.
Then totally ignored the Doku penalty,which when viewed from the behind angle was definitely a pen.
The month before they totally ignored the hair pull on Semenyo,having in an earlier programme agreed that Keane of Everton had to go for a hair pull,violent conduct.
Move on to Utd v Leeds,suddenly hair pull is a red card again.
VAR is certainly selective in it's choice of incidents to review.

Just another of the PL match-washing exercises, keeping the brand clean and strong to keep their subscribers content.

It appears that most reviews, certainly in our case start with the question 'Do we want to give a penalty?'.

Once they decide they don't want to give it, they wait just long enough to give the impression they've checked it and then hit the 'Check Complete' button 'No penalty'.

There is simply no other explanation for not giving that decision as a penalty, because the reverse angle (which they obviously didn't consider) clearly showed the foul.

Bottler, he had a very good view.

I didn't watch the HT stuff and obviously it's not all over the news but was it in/out of the area? I thought that needed much closer attention from VAR.

 

[p.taker]

Premier league referees are ABSOLUTE GARBAGE

Fucking trash

 

[Don Karleone]

Those who say that we're paranoid, explain that decision, please.

 

[Original Halifax.]

ATIAC!simple as!

 

[Chak19]

Fucking cheating pricks, season after season, it won't work you cunts, no matter how much you try.

 

[ufo]

Has there been any proper investigation into pl officials?

 

[LangleyBlue1970]

They were fine until that headbutt. I want to say it shouldn’t be a red for the sake of the game, but it is a red.

 

[pudge]

Tried his fucking best the ****

Two red card offences for Gabriel and a penalty

Shove it up you, you rag ****

 

[moomba]

Fuck off taylor, fuck off whoever was on var. Fuck off howard webb. Cunts.

 

[CWAC blue]

They were fine until that headbutt. I want to say it shouldn’t be a red for the sake of the game, but it is a red.

Its more the bigger picture would be a massive loss for 3 games

 

[Pingu the Penguin]

Missed the pen and the red card that would come with it. Saw haalands shirt ripped off him and doesn’t book the player, then books same player for a red card offence that would have ruled him out of arsenals run in. Disgusting performance from Taylor who should be demoted next week

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

Has there been any proper investigation into pl officials?

Huge amounts of money swilling round in the game, and there are none more that the PiGMOL officials who are in a position to influence results. There are too many pivotal decisions that influence games and change results for it to be coincidence.

 

[Dethred]

Samir Nasri is going to feel aggrieved having done the same thing and got a red card.

 

[Micky Blue]

That was one of the worst ref performances I’ve ever seen.
The handball and red not given, nothing for ripping Haalands shirt

But the best was the head movement towards Haaland.
That’s the clearest red you will see all season.
Ref is right on it too.

I hope city make an official complaint.
It was blatant cheating from Taylor.
