Tony Harrington - shite

Bring in The Wenger Law man ffs. That Isak decision was not what the offside law was intended for, but VAR got the decision right. Has to change.

[Pilko]

Couldn't wait to get the whistle in his mouth with 98.59 on the clock despite numerous fouls and bookings in added time, the fucking nonce. Another useless, inconsistent cunt to add to the shit list.

[Stifler]

What the fuck is the fucking point in playing the fucking game when you have fucking useless tossers like Tony refereeing the match?

Honestly man, where the fuck did they find him? Was it a prize he won for being colleague of the month for B&Q or something?

Replacing Fat Fuck Lee Mason as referee because he has a reservation at KFC, we have Tony, Tony is referee tonight because he was able to sell more bags of nails than anyone else in area 7 of B&Q stores?

 

Honestly seriously, do the FA just go around looking at refereee and be like ‘Oh he looks good.’ ‘Aye but look at Tony over there’. ‘He’s shocking’.

’I know mate, but we have Newcastle vs Everton on a Tuesday night that TNT have picked up, it might be a low scoring game so let’s make the story about how fucking gash he Tony is’.

 

Everton going in from behind and he’s just allowing it. 2 Everton players on Bruno, bringing him down. ‘Here Tony, that might be a freekick there pal’. ‘Aye ok, there you go Everton’.

Fucking Dino arms doing that pathetic dive he does at the end of the game, and not getting booked or being giving a freekick against him for it. Everton waste 6 minutes of the stoppage time and he doesn’t allow anything on.

Honestly man, there has been some special bastards in that referee’s shirt over there years, but this cunt honestly took it too far.

At least 2 minutes of extra time were spent with the ref trying to sort out pushing and shoving for our corner, yet he blows directly on 99. Only ever seen that in La Liga.

 

[Bally21]

To be honest I thought he was OK... I've raged a lot regards referees this season..but not tonight 

[midds]

Thought the ref was fine tonight, kept it flowing, no major howlers etc. Isak was (just) offside and Dummett did drag Young down for the pen. We shot ourselves in the foot tonight, no use pointing the finger at the ref after that tbh

[Stifler]

It’s a fucking sad indictment of how low the standards are now when that is classed as an alright performance.

We might have the best league in the world, but we have the worst officials.

 

Face facts man, it was our country, our football fans, our media, and our leagues wanting VAR. The rest of the world were happy without it. We come along, fuck up our games every weekend, and all of a sudden start crying for it over actually training decent referee’s.

When every other country has development programme for them, we have a fucking price list for people who want to do it, to look at.

 

We are in the same denial with our referee’s now, as we were with our football in the 70,80’s, and 90’s. Everyone else is playing technical football, pass and move, triangles, total football etc, and we’re were playing Allerdyce/Dyche ball by hoofing it up to the big man, and kicking the fuck out of everyone and calling passion. Meanwhile our England team is left wondering how the likes of Maradonna are able to just walk through our whole team.

We comfort ourselves with the stats that VAR says we get 99% of the vision right, informing the fact that they only measure televised games between the top 6 clubs, and decisions that result in a goal, penalty, or red card either being awarded, denied.

Our leagues have all the money in the world, with the best players in the world playing for some of the worlds biggest clubs, with some of the worlds best managers, and we have part time dentists who meet up once a month for a coffee meet refereeing our games. It’s absolutely fucking pathetic.

[Convict]

Why is the ref in charge of the time keeping?  It should have been another couple of minutes at the end.

 

In Aussie rules an independent time keeper is used to keep track with a simple signal by the ref of time on and time off.

You ok mate? 

[Ginola14]

when it's us holding on there always seems to be 2 or 3 or 4 mins additional added time 

 

like Liverpool away last season and that 98th minute winner

 

PSG's 99th minute penalty 

 

even at the weekend against Wham it went from something like 4 mins to 8 and they almost scored 

 

and when we complain everyone just says that's what you get for timewasting 

 

but tonight it's somehow blown up bang on the 9th when clearly there should have been more - and fuck all gets said about it 

 

no way that happens if Liverpool are chasing a goal 

 

timekeeping should not be so wildly inconsistent in this day and age, no excuse for it

Thought he was alright but I went WTF when he blew the whistle at the exact 99 minutes. Could’ve booked more of their players but he was pretty consistent with those as we had none.

It's a regular pissing off now when teams willingly give up the petty foul but it's so far from goal, no matter that its very deliberate and cynical, that a very good position on the break becomes a free kick 60yds from goal and no further punishment for the offender.

[Holloway]

tbf we were given 9 minutes to fix the clusterfuck, well eight and three quarters

[Guest]

Back to the offside law, just seen a similar one against Mateta for Palace last night. He's centimetres offside the way the law is now, it was correctly disallowed as the law stands. I just don't get how people can be happy with it?

[joeyt]

I'm absolutely no fan of VAR but last night was exactly the reason it was brought in to overturn two incorrect decisions

 

The charade of sending the ref over to the monitor when we all know he's going to change his decision is daft though

The penalty decision was correct from what I saw, as it happened and where I was sitting I knew it would come back.

The offside I was on the wrong end of the pitch to see.

 

Everything else was wrong, literally had 2 players kick our player off the ball and he gave them the freekick. Everton getting a corner that should have been a goal kick. Allowing them to take our men out from behind, cynical fouls not being booked for. A couple of fouls throws, Pickford wasting time and not getting booked, 5 minutes of the 9 minutes of stoppage time the ball was out of play and he still blows his whistle at the 9th minute.

[joeyt]

I mean if you're using Everton getting a corner instead of us a goal kick as an example I think you're at a stretch. I can't even remember that incident, certainly didn't change the result.

 

They're human at the end of the day, they'll not get every decision right.

 

To get that worked up over the referee last night seems a complete waste of energy

[Lush Vlad]

Strange that he blew up when there appeared to be about another 3 minutes of additional time to add on.  But I think we're clutching, there.  We hardly looked like we were going to go on and score.

 

I did think he was really lenient with some of their challenges, however.  Beto in particular was like a bull in a china shop.  The one on Krafth was clumsy as fuck and definitely a yellow.  Absolutely clattered Burn and didn't look like he was ever trying to play the ball, to me.  Amazed he never got booked.  He finally started dishing the cards out for cynical fouls near the end.  But it was too late by that point.

 

Only ourselves to blame for throwing away 2 points, mind. 

[matta]

Why do we bother. 

[David Edgar]

Think that decision was actually fair enough. Burn needlessly shoves their player. Fucking idiotic.

Their player jumps back into Burn. If anything he's the one that was fouled. Burn just pushes him away so he doesn't go over himself.
