54 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 That Forest tweet can both be correct in the point it is trying to make, and utterly absurd and ridiculous at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but you can be more tactical than that tweet. It's ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 8 minutes ago, Tiresias said: Forest obviously have every right to be fuming, however singling out an official and publcially accusing them of unprofessional bias is low. Wonder if the reason all our refs are shit is because nobody who isnt overly officious and egotistical ends up wanting to be refs. I would expect clubs to maintain a measure of composure as well, we've all made mad accusations in the minutes after final whistle when we feel we have been robbed. The official may well be able to take them to court for libel. No it’s not. I’m sorry but the rules state that both the manager and the players have to go up and explain themselves after games. Fans can be called into question about their support, owners about the running of clubs. The only people you can’t question or ask to explain themselves is referees. The people who are never happy to be questioned or held to account are those who have stuff to hide. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind the clubs calling out the referring as being really poor, i just mind singling out with such accusations. Say the referring is well below expectations and tired of being apologised to it. Don't say this bloke clearly is match fixing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was a Newcastle in refereeing two clubs competition against Newcastle, you can bet your last £ I’d try my best to manipulate the game to the best advantage to Newcastle.

Weirdly while I was watching the game I was convinced the VAR official had to be a fan of someone down there. I’d assumed Everton, but Luton also makes sense. Forest losing certainly helps out that officials team… Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, in fairness maybe overreated, i just think as said above, say the referring is shit, the ref who is ultimately in charge should maybe being held up like that, i don't like singling out a single guy for being a luton fan. It brings it into accusing them of deliberately fixing it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does nothing for getting younger people into officiating too and good luck trying to have a game without them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Signaling out one person, who by all accounts is just doing their job (admittedly poorly), and accusing them of basically corruption when you have zero evidence to support that claim, and doing it to millions of people is utterly ridiculous, and quite frankly contemptuous. I get that referee's are making bad decision, and that it costs teams and players money, but they're still human beings, who have emotions and families, you cannot be making them remarks, its flat out wrong.
