Sundays Ref

[RandomJ]

Typical ref. Afraid to award decisions against the home side because then they'll get abuse.

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).

That was because he gave Jonno's and imagine what the world would come to if city got 2 penalties in one game??

He's the only ref I've noticed in a positive sense at our place this season.

 

[give & go]

Just read that Mr Webb has given 54 pens in premier league 9 to the rags ( 17%).
Rags have had 8 pens this season most in premier .
Their luck can't go on for ever.

oliver had an excellent game today and didn't give in to either team or the home crowd. top job in my view

tbh Skrytl was a yellow. We only think otherwise because of Kompany. But its happened so often since. Clearly it wasn't a red, but FA were weak.

And Suarez was unlucky to get a yellow. A "Balotelli booking" - one done off reputation. Really he was trying to kick the ball and was an accident. How anyone can say it was a red.

he was booked for a reckless high boot, oliver indicated as such to suarez

agreed on the skirtel challenge though, i think unless an incident is egregious i think a player should receive a caution before being sent off.

skirtel was high, but he wasn't late and did win the ball cleanly

Would have been better had Graham Poll reffed that last night as he is allowed to give 3 yelllows as Skrtel - he should have walked last night without doubt.

Anyone who has played the game knows full well what he did when he took Bale out and into the hoardings early on.

Oliver is as bad as any of them - dont kid yourselves he is young and a great prospect. They are all tarred with the same brush - lack of leadership from above.<br /><br />-- Tue Feb 07, 2012 3:32 pm --<br /><br />
