This is my second article , I am new to the site. What I will discuss will be on the minds of millions of people. Never in my 20 years of watching football have I witnessed shocking refereeing. Never mind todays game and Chris foys antics but in general across the league it has been shameful.
This is not even about any conspiracy theory , people talk about Sir alex and united with howard web etc but the problem goes beyond such conspiracies. The truth is referee's in this country are protected , almost like a baby in his/her cot.
Example , in our daily jobs making a single mistake can be costly, we strive to avoid it and the thought of making mistakes on a monthly basis would be unheard off.
Now imagine you as a referee , what would be the implications of making mistakes ? Its clear that many refs act as if they are untouchable. The look on Foys face said it all. Same with clatternburg after the chelsea game.
You at least expect them to acknowledge their faults, improve and show some integrity. I think there should be a refereeing review , perhaps more training and if that doesnt work bludy Referee transfer window !
IF THEY DONT IMPROVE WE MIGHT ASWELL IMPORT REFS , JUST NOT FROM TURKEY AS SIR ALEX WILL TELL YOU
Admin this is a debate for our clubs so attach as many as possible please
Ok hear me out fellow football fans

nah more like the one at wembley last season where the ball never crossed the line, or the one at stamford bridge a couple of years ago when the ball never crossed the line and where your winner was also offside

So many tables there. What parameters were used. Just curious
------------------------------------------
I looked into it a while back but I forget exactly what was used. I do remember reading that the owner of the site is a Man United fan and the other three judges Liverpool, Chelsea and I believe Newcastle.
I think they use decisions like, Liverpool against Everton, Liverpool scored in the final moments but the assistant wrongly flagged for offside and thus they put that down as minus two points.
On the ref today, he was woeful. He let so many fouls go and the Aguero one was criminal. He so obviously saw what everyone else did but decided against it. We'll find this out when the FA are unable to punish Aguero retrospectively. Clear pull of Torres' shirt by Kompany in the area which must have lasted \ten seconds, the guys in the studio tried to say the ref couldn't have seen it but at the end of the pull, both players were actually facing the ref with Kompany's clenched fist containing half of Torres shirt.
Terrible refereeing, There's no good getting a load of decisions right and then missing two game changing moments. That's the difference between an average referee and a good one, everyone makes mistakes and we all expect it but not two game changing mistakes. For the benefit of doubt, I'd allow one, not two, especially such obvious one's. A poor performance.
