Olallana Posted 28 January, 2014 Share Posted 28 January, 2014 Did we get any 50/50 decisions? Hardly not even at a throw-in... But guess you have to be happy with a ref these days that dont f*ck it up big time..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheaf Saint Posted 28 January, 2014 Share Posted 28 January, 2014 got the red spot on Yeah he did. Wenger wasn't happy but a flying two-footed tackle right in front of the ref is always going to earn a red card and he can have no real complaints. Aside from that, I thought the ref was shocking tonight. Missed so much and gave so many 50-50s to Arsenal. The handball in the box looked deliberate to me (in as much as he had so much time to move his arm out of the way but didn't) and there was a blatant foul on Guly towards the end that he just waved away. Really poor again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't do that much wrong and didn't flash cards around like a lot of refs do to try and stamp their authority on the game. More of the same please! Didnt have too many big decisions to make. Still can't believe how nobody got booked for the cynical bodycheck on lallana/Jrod in the 2nd half for which he gave the advantage. That was dubious but either way should have gone back and booked their player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheaf Saint Posted 9 February, 2014 Share Posted 9 February, 2014 I see Clattenburg denied Everton a pretty obvious penalty at WHL today. I guess for them that levels out the blatant one he should have given us at Goodison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsbridge Saint Posted 17 February, 2014 Share Posted 17 February, 2014 Just speaking generally, I am getting very ****ed off with the refs who give free kicks to the players who 'go to ground' or feign injury after a 50/50. It just encourages the cheating bastards and the refs need to be stronger. Some are, but they shouldn't be the exception. Sunday was a case in point - Barini played the ref like a fiddle.

Goatboy Posted 18 February, 2014 Share Posted 18 February, 2014 There have been some atrocious decisions by various referees this season. But have they really become worse? They are not helped by players rolling around as though they have been winged by a sniper. Wider tv coverage and slower motion replays expose any error. But haven't refs always been fallible? I have seen some shocking 'performances' over the years, across all levels of football, so the "balls ups" this season come as no surprise. I'm of the opinion that refs have a tough job involving huge pressure. There is little to no chance of them being right all the time and they will be castigated for every mistake. If they are 'invisible' they are thought to have had a good game. How many people would be drawn to a job that offers that as a measure of success? "Didn't even notice ya mate. Well done." It's bound to attract the right sort, yes? They'll never be perfect. Just as quality strikers can miss from two yards and international goalkeepers can see a shot dribble through their legs. As fans, players or whatever, all you can do is sick it up and hope it evens out over the season. That said, Clattenburg is a right c**t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. If two players are 5ft 5, white with black hair you could just as easily mix them up from a distance. Mistaking two people who have a similar skin colour, hair cut and height isn't racist. Singling them out from others because of their skin colour would be.

colman1860 Posted 22 March, 2014 Share Posted 22 March, 2014 It's not racism. They look very, very similar. A lot of players came together in the penalty following the play, and Mariner was still trying to figure out whether it was handling in the first place. Easy to lose track of the player. Embarrassing as hell though, and compounded by the fact that it shouldn't have been red in the first place, as it didn't deny an obvious goalscoring opportunity - the ball was going wide.
