Sundays Ref

[MCFC-alan88]

He'll get injured or get a bug or some shit, meaning Webb will take the game. I can see it happening, although to be fair he's not usually too bad for us.

The one thing I thought Oliver got wrong, bearing in mind I only watched the 2nd half (boy at footy training), was the Bale Diving incident.

Now I may be wrong but I thought that refs had been instructed to yellow card dives. Bearing that in mind and that, obviously only IMO, his reaction to Skirtel (I think)'s suggestion that there was less contact than betwen Elton John and his wife, was well worthy of a yellow why wasn't the Galen faced spud sent off?.

It doesn't matter whether two yellow card incident's occur within a few seconds of each other or not, if they are both deserving of a yellow then 2 yellows should be shown and the player should be off (just like if you commit a last man foul in the first few minutes of a cup final it is still a red card but that's another ref and another story).

Refs in the Prem are told by the FA to 'manage the experience', not to be consistent.

The same thing happened as happened with Kolarov.

Kolarov was booked v Fulham for pulling the player back. Yet they both then squared up to each other. Mike Dean gave them both a yellow card each. Despite having a yellow out before they squared up, ready to give to Kolarov. Technically Kolarov got away with one.

Both referee's used common sense in the instances, which really didn't warrant more than yellows. Really it is "handbags" and I don't want to see players sent off for grabbing a shirt, it's merely a light tussle that we should accept. A good referee calms the players down rather than dishing out reds.

Only diving to win a penalty.
I don't believe Bale "Dived" in this incident anyway. More like he went over avoiding the challenge.

I didnt think it was a yellow to square up only a yellow if hands are raised for a push? Although IIRC this is the incident when the fulham player moved his head forwards (wont go as far as saying a headbutt)

when i saw the name of this thread was really worrying, closing my eyes hoping not to open them to 'webb', 'atkinson', 'dowd', 'walton', 'clattenburg' ..... so really pleased to see Oliver - quite young but good ref and certainly best of a bad bunch!

 

[mancitytmdanttom]

Phil Dowd doing united. Lol

Webb has been dropped. No game just 4th official duty.

Oliver is the best referee in the league. (Dean 2nd, despite missing that Silva penalty).

DOWD - Another Red bastsard

It's diving full stop, not just for penalties.

But I do detest when people say: "If it's not a penalty book him then".

Utter bollocks. You can fall over without having been fouled or having dived. It can happen.

Can vouch for that, done it many a Friday night ;-)
