Referees' Performances | 2025/26

[mattcity5]

2 reds. Beto stepped on Khus and Guehi's ankles. Both bookable offences.

Both deliberate as well.

 

[Blue2112]

And you think that will get us anywhere? Dream on!

We are being screwed over anyway probably because of the 115 charges and the fact they want a new name on their precious trophy so what have we got to lose. Everyone hates us and calls us cheats so being quiet and polite is winning us no friends. We may as well go all out and call it out and piss them all off into the bargain and let everyone say we're poor losers as well.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Referees are no longer their to officiate the games, they are there to service the entertainment industry.

Are you not entertained.

 

[Trevor Morley's Tache]

This unofficial rule (subjectively applied, of course) where VAR just fall in line with the more senior on-field referee's decision needs addressing.

If the VAR hasn't got the balls to call out a shit decision, they don't deserve the job.

 

[Don Karleone]

"New phase of play", my arse! He chases after Guehi from an offside position.

 

[cheekybids]

Yes but the rules allow it as he came back onside. Granted he benefited from it but regardless by the laws of the game it's a goal

It’s not a new phase it was the same action - file under subjective.

 

[stirlingblue]

Oliver and Alty fan Taylor (twice recently), allegedly our top two referees, working in tandem in the big game/title changing moments to screw us over again. Imagine my surprise at this fact!

They are doing exactly what the PL and cunts like Richard Masters are paid to deliver.

Corrupt to the core !

That's not their role, they are there to facilitate outcomes !

 

[SheliaTakeaBow]

Oliver’s not corrupt, just as incompetent as it gets. Stands in the way of passes, fastidious when it comes to throw ins but misses leg breakers, has absolutely no feel for the game at all. Complete disaster of a ref

 

[jamielowndes]

This year has pretty much confirmed that active and passive offside and "phases of play" needs fucking off.

If a player is between the last 2 defenders, they're offside.

A bigger pair of cunts you could not expect to meet - not a scrap of honesty, integrity of judgement in evidence.

Shills for the PL and their corrupt officials.

 

[deano ou812]

The Premier League have a strategic plan to put a new name on the trophy every 6 years. Their words, not mine.

The Premier League as a TV product is fucking dogshit when you allow teams to play like that.

Yanks in control it’s now more like WWE and certain games being scripted or they get a desired outcome,VAR although fantastic in principle is now also a tool to achieve certain results..

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Wrong imho, he's a spineless **** who carries out the instructions of the PL officials and Howard Webb's cheat squad..

As fucking bent and corrupt as a proverbial £3 note !

 

[I'm Blue]

According to Spitty it was an orange card.
So surely if it’s somewhere between a yellow and a red then the ref should be told to go to the monitor and take another look?
Am I shocked?
Nope we’ve seen too many this season already that get cleared instantly.
Same with the constant grabbing and pulling of the shirt.
Nothing wrong with it apparently, oh until we do it.

Not being funny but only ourselves to blame, not disagreeing there was some questionable decisions, and we've had plenty this season, but why cant we play with the urgency at 3-1 down from minute 1? Pedestrian shite passing zero urgency until we need it, you're not telling me that the draws we've had against teams far worse than us this season is all down to the shite decisions from the ref's? Come on, it's not over yet, arsenal have got a slip up in them yet but we can only blame ourselves if we dont win the league this season in my opinion!

 

[wolviedinho]

Crap and abit bent towards the product.

Red card all day.

Game turned into disarray.

Still no excuse for the way city defended but we all know that to win we have to be so good the refs can’t influence it and this team is not at that point yet.

 

[Blue2112]

Agreed ive seen them go back 30 seconds plus to find a something against us, didnt it happen at Anfield when we scored and they gave a foul by Haaland. New phase of play my arse, if hes on the pitch

Oh I totally agree, we should have had the game sown up by half time and caught Arsenals goal advantage and its not the first time we've been wasteful and shown a lack of desire. I don't think we we're ready for a challenge this season and its a sign of how poor the league has been that we've made a go of it and its not over yet. All that said we are also treated abysmally by referees. How Doku has not been seriously injured this season is a mystery. And playing 10 against the rags and 10 tonight might just have been the difference between 1st and 2nd place and in my opinion the powers that be know it and allow it to happen.

We have var and ai , automate and let ai decide. We don’t need references anymore

Because our players are human beings. They make mistakes. 100% for 90 minutes every game is only possible with robots. We shouldn't have be perfect to win matches, just be better than the other team. Referees should be honest and impartial. They are not. As Pep has said, we have earned our trophies, without any outside help.
