gbandit Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 That ref was unbelievably out of his depth today. Had no control on the game. Was like a substitute teacher where the kids were getting away with whatever they wanted Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 Irritates the fuck out of me when a player blatantly slips in his own third and the ref automatically gives a defensive free kick. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Prontonise Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 He also missed the pen, it was the linesman who gave the initial foul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsunami Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Looking back at the penalty I think the linesman flags for a soft free kick and wouldn’t have flagged at all if he thought it was in the area. It resulted in a soft penalty. The Lino on the Milburn side was woeful btw. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 Yeah. No way is he the reason for the result. But he was awful for both teams, I thought. Seemed to be fine with big challenges that looked like fouls or people grappling and bearhugging. But any slight contact down the wings or when players were falling over with seemingly no contact. He couldn’t wait to blow up. I’m sure Bruno and Murphy were both gesturing for him to give a yellow card at one point. But didn’t get booked themselves for doing so. He missed some blatant yellows for them and all. He just had the look on his face of someone that was out of their depth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted February 4 Share Posted February 4 (edited) I think the yellow card threshold must have changed in some way? People seem able to bring someone down and stop a counter now, without getting booked. Used to be automatic.

They always sit on fence and leave it to the ref for penalty calls. But the fact he gives a foul means var looks at the penalty through the context a foul has already been given. Not sure that logic stacks up but can't complain as Burn was skinned and continued to foul into the box. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked like a Championship ref. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Can't see it acting as a deterrent for cynical fouls at all so it's largely pointless and just another officiating imposition to be picked over. If it cures dissent; woop-de-doo, frankly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that’s just going to result in the team down to 10 wasting as much time as possible for the 10 mins, resulting in a less watchable game? *not taking into account the scoreline and overall time remaining.

ponsaelius Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Had them in the Northern League for years. For dissent. Works well at that level, as it's a disgrace the way officials are treated. Not convinced of the point at the top level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) Blue cards, sin bins, games on its arse. Far too much influence from the officiating over the actual sport itself. The game is passionate, emotions are part of everything that players and fans alike express during the game, removing this just destroys everything. It just reeks of more corruption to perhaps control or influence results in a way VAR looks like it already is, and on a day where they admitted to 20 wrong VAR decisions, they think this will help.

Pilko Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 How about they improve the standard of officiating, which is absolutely fucking shamefully poor? That's a better long-term cure for the dissent issue than turning the game into a rugby match with bloody sin bins. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

People seem able to bring someone down and stop a counter now, without getting booked. Used to be automatic. It’s just what always happens, we’ve seen it a million times. There’s an issue (deliberate cynical fouls to stop a counter). The authorities instruct refs to clamp down on it. They do, and there is a rash of bookings. Most managers whinge and cry, some refs start to back off, certain teams get favourable treatment (looking at you here, Man City). At some point (always before the problem is fixed) refs start getting hung out to dry and it all falls apart. Cynical fouls, diving, 6-second rule for keepers, stupid penalty run-ups, time-wasting on dead balls, whatever. It’s always the same. And fuck blue cards. Just apply the rules - sorry, laws, who gives a fuck. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
