Referees' Performances | 2025/26

[Don Karleone]

4 cards in 8 fouls.
Dippers got 1 94th minute card today in 17 fouls.

It's things like this that will probably get into the players' heads, an easy way to manipulate games. I agree with you today; he was not competent.

 

[Norbiton]

Are we going to loose players with 5 yellow for the coming games?

No, past the cutoff point for ten yellows meaning suspension

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

We took him out of the game, City getting back to the team that Pep wants.

We’re near getting ‘Incredible’.

 

[SuperKevinHorlock]

The problem is that the narrative now pedalled is that Brentford were hard done by! The media have done a brilliant job of making 99% of the 'neutral' fans believe we're cheats!

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

4 cards in 8 fouls.
Dippers got 1 94th minute card today in 17 fouls.

3 of the 4 yellow cards were not for fouls.

 

[Gabriel]

Henderson in one ear and Bernardo in the other. Couldn’t pay me enough.

Bernie likes the sound of his own voice, doesn't he?

 

[PabZabb]

You know you’ve had a shocker when both sets of fans think you’re shit.

 

[Gabriel]

We’ll miss him but the officials certainly won’t. If he goes into management and comes back to us, they’ll have to change the role of the 4th official.

 

[Pedestrian]

No control of the game. Seemed to struggle between trying to be ‘in charge’ and understanding the rules of the game. During the melee haaland was screaming at him to get on with it as skirmishes were breaking out all over. Looked a bit amateur. Hilarious that the Brentford manager was whinging about decisions. Sounded like that ginger millionaire **** who pretends he’s the local factory foreman.

 

[East Level 2]

Stop moaning you lot.
We ask for consistency from refs and this one was consistently awful from the first minute to the last.

 

[SuttonColdfieldBlue]

The comments on the BBC Sport website match report make me wonder if I was watching the same game. All the top comments are about the biased refereeing… towards us! Apparently the refs obviously want us to win the league, we should have been down to 9 men, we’re reffed to a different standard, etc etc…

As someone said above, when both sides and virtually every neutral all say the ref has had a shocker then he and PGMOL really should be questioning that performance.

 

[skillman]

If anybody’s take home from that today is that **** being biased towards us then I’m amazed. He was useless. It was like everything was about him. No rush to do anything, stopping play just so he could meander back to half way before they take goal kicks.

Then 2 minutes added on despite an injury and time wasting, 45-46 being a stoppage and he blew on 47:09! Useless twat.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

There was challenges let go today against us that would have been contentious in a rugby game.

There were clear and blatant tackles on Haarland 9, amongst others, which were given the other way - yet another PGMOL rep totally out of his depth.

Scroll down to the comments and look at “Highest Rated”.

Unbelievable Jeff.

Exactly what I see every single time were in the mix at the end of the season. This year is the arsenal fanboy pundits spreading the biased shite.

Face it guys, they got a louder voice in the media than us. If it's not utd or lfc pundits and presenters it's now arsenal. I fucking hate them.

Fucking mard arses

 

[heslops barnet]

Same as other refs, death by a thousand “look the other way” decisions. We do not get half the fouls that the scum get and it’s not a coincidence.
Some said Bernie could have been sent off, but no way was that bad enough for a red. Nunes did not do anything near enough to even think it was an issue.
I want a game, one where we are playing for something, where the ref is fair and treats us the same as our opponents, it’s not a lot to ask (or shouldn’t be)

Hasn’t been for nearly 10 seasons

 

[Exeter Blue I am here]

Inconceivably bad. Ignored foul after foul on our players, repeatedly thwarted our attempts at quick free kicks and ultimately lost control of the whole game. Hand picked by some Arsenal stooge at PGMOL surely?!

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

They have had plenty of practice by pretending that the rags have been
relevent for years, so nothing new for the cunts.

Regularly stealing a living with one lie after another.

 

[Kaini Industries]

I knew this clown would blow for half time on the stroke of 47 minutes when the ball hadn't been in play for the whole of the first minute of stoppage time. I just knew
