Saint_clark Posted 20 March, 2010 Share Posted 20 March, 2010 Was officiating the Sunderland V Birmingham game today. Absolute disgrace. How can he be promoted to the Prem again after a performance like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 20 March, 2010 Share Posted 20 March, 2010 He was never relegated from the Prem. All Prem refs have the occasional game in the Football League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint_clark Posted 20 March, 2010 Author Share Posted 20 March, 2010 Then how was he not relegated after that performance? Or do they only monitor the Premiership games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krissyboy31 Posted 20 March, 2010 Share Posted 20 March, 2010 The Premier League are welcome to him, so long as we don't get him again. Hopefully when we return in 2 or 3 years time, he will have retired (or been retired). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus Reigned Posted 20 March, 2010 Share Posted 20 March, 2010 Beat me to it; his "punishment" for last week's shambles was to officiate in the Premiership today. What a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaSaint Posted 21 March, 2010 Share Posted 21 March, 2010 Beat me to it; his "punishment" for last week's shambles was to officiate in the Premiership today. What a joke. If we think that's a joke, I'd bet my house that he'll turn up as an assessor before too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brightspark Posted 21 March, 2010 Share Posted 21 March, 2010 Most referees have their appointments scheduled for them around 2 weeks in advance. So its likely he knew he was doing this game before last weekend. He has probably watched the game over and its likely he knows he had a poor one.

Saint_clark Posted 11 April, 2010 Author Share Posted 11 April, 2010 Bump because I see he was refereeing the Blackburn V United game today and had, surprisingly, a shocker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjii Posted 11 April, 2010 Share Posted 11 April, 2010 Most of them are utterly clueless. We all know Alan Wiley got his two big decisions wrong today but even putting those aside, there were numerous occasions where he stopped play and hindered the team who had been fouled (Spurs, usually!). Just rank bad refereeing. Mind you, some of the ones you see in Europr aren't much better. The problem is that football refs usually seem to be gimpy malcordinated geekazoids who obviously have never played any physical sport to even a competent school-boy level.

Exactly, they are usually guys who never were that good at playing it but knew the laws. As a result in some situations they go by how it is written in the law instead of understanding it from a playing perspective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So its likely he knew he was doing this game before last weekend. He has probably watched the game over and its likely he knows he had a poor one. I doubt it.! After that performance he probably had neither the wit or the wherewithall to do any better. A perfect display of total incompetence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Boy Saint Posted 12 April, 2010 Share Posted 12 April, 2010 The Premier League are welcome to him, so long as we don't get him again. Hopefully when we return in 2 or 3 years time, he will have retired (or been retired). He is beyond the end of his Refereeing life span having asked to stay on another year which is what Refs can do if they feel that they are fit enough to do so. I went to an evening with Dermot Gallagher and Alan Wiley over a year ago and Dermot was saying that he did this for a couple of years without any problem. Then one day he was officiating a Villa V Man U game Christiano Ronaldo got the ball in the Man U half and was off like a jack rabbit Dermot followed the play which was broken down by Villa and Gabby Agbonlahor took the ball back up the other end. Dermot knew his days were over when he noted that the time on the big clock in Villa Park said 4:20 when Gabby got the ball it said 4:40 by the time Dermot had got to the other end of the pitch................ He did add that many refs do kid themselves as the end is hard to take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
