Tooj Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Commentators confusing one Black player with another. This happens at least five times per match. I agree, Mike. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGuv Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 Unnecessary wearing of change kits. Teams having different coloured away kits every year. Use your own colour. Eg. Us using yellow and green and Man City Red and Black. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Colossus Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 That 'knuckleball' style of shooting that Ronaldo's made popular. Because of the unpredictable and uncontrollable nature of them, it feels a little bit hit and hope. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Colossus Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Linesmen blanking players arguing with them. Disagree with the player arguing with them as well, but they just look like massive tools. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Linesmen blanking players arguing with them. Disagree with the player arguing with them as well, but they just look like massive tools. Was thinking that. I know the best thing to do is to not allow arguments as it'll be never-ending. It'll just be 'this is my decision, it's done' 'but it's wrong!' rinse and repeat for five minutes. But I think it's the smug bellend look that they all seem to have engrained on them in the process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exiled in Texas Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Referees are trained/told not to engage in arguments. You state the position and that's the end....no further discussion. Nothing good came come from participating in a discussion here the players disagree with your decision. It's not like the referee can say....you're right...let me have another look at it. I guarantee that Martin Atkinson wishes that he could call that in to the video judge, but he can't so he has to make a decision. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bullshit. He'd have to be handing that brown envelope back to Abramovich. I can't speak for Martin Atkinson but when I referee all I care about is getting the decisions right. I don't care who wins or looses, I only want to be 100% right and I would take all the tools available that i could. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tyson Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I know it happens at all levels (refereeing incompetency) but it's worse at the WC, and tournament pressure doesn't solely effect players. Call it a type of Little Man's Syndrome, but with some it's as if (often one of those quota picked referees from a third-world or insignficant football locale, or otherwise a Neville Nobody of little repute the refereeing caper) there's a desire to finally be the 'The Man' on a big stage and this duly compels them to stamp their own signature on a game ie. usually of the early & hastily dished out red card variety. It's like they value their contribution as a spectacle of it's own, and that contribution should rival the sense of theatre which already lends itself to the game (minus a ref's input).

brummie Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 John Motson's pronunciation of "Drogba" - "Drogbaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar" Motson should have been forcibly retired years ago.
