Exiled in Texas Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Would love to have the chance to listen to a top level referee like Webb. Shame I'm across the pond. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 May as well have a Lucky 8 Ball make decisions instead of referees right now. Diabolical set of referees atm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 One of the lowest standards in the prem at the moment in the 18 years i've been watching football. It's fucking shit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tachikoma Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Holy fuck, you may as well not bother having a ref now if that sort of shit goes unpunished. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
themanupstairs Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Absolutely disgusting from Halsey today, and we're not even done with the first half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Awful, awful decision. Fact he didn't even give a foul before the seriousness became apparent is disgusting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Wasn't Ben Arfa the same ref who sent Tiote off against Sunderland? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddy Chibas Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 That was on a par with the Ben Arfa one a few years ago. Absolutely disgraceful. Aye A pair of blatant hatchet-jobs/tackles, and not a single on-the-spot yellow handed out (DeJong escaped a y-card too iirc?). Through refereeing incompetancy the PL has become a snipers league.

PCW1983 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 RDO Clive Oliver said "This is a venture I have been looking to launch for some time and I was delighted to secure the help of Michael Oliver to lead the group. Although he is at the top of his profession he is a perfect role model as it is not that long since Michael was being trained at the same level as the referees in the group. Not only do I believe he is the best person in the county to lead the group, he is the best person in the country. The referees both male and female will gain so much knowledge from him" I suppose a father would say that about his son..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 The standard of refereeing? What standard? That implies a level of consistency is maintained to judge refs against. It's all completely gone to pot. If you can't spot the McManaman challenge today then what the hell is the point of a referee being there at all?

It's all completely gone to pot. If you can't spot the McManaman challenge today then what the hell is the point of a referee being there at all? Exactly, it's a very easy excuse to say a referee has missed a decision but its a referees job to get himself in the correct position to referee the game. Halsey has been guilty of complacency bordering on laziness, happy to run his diagonals and hope he sees te game through. When Tiote begins to block his view he shoul be altering his position to view the tackle but he doesn't, it's obscured and he remains on his original run doing nothing to actually view the challenge. The standard of refereeing is poor, he game has advanced to a level of fitness that a referee can't keep up with. Full time referees shouldn't be lumbering around the pitch on pre determined routes.

Jordan Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Just getting worse and worse. This is the angriest i think i've ever been about a challenge, and i was fuming after HBA. We have one of the most cowardly FA's around, that little cunt should be banned for as long as Haidara is injured or at the very least given a very long ban. There is intent to "do" Haidara and you can see it on his face, what a fucking cunt. Wish Carver had smacked him one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
