Pyro Pete 1,921 Posted December 26, 2023 Referees in this country are incompetent. Pure and simple. We witness it regularly in the Premier League, where every decision is double checked by VAR in slow-motion, using state of the art technology, by a team of four VAR officials. And they still get it wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real Buh 3,482 Posted December 26, 2023 I’ve just taken another look at it and, I’m sorry, you can just tell the ref has run this situation in his head before. He 100% has rehearsed this situation before he’s made that decision. He’s wanted to do that for a while. This tin tin looking jobsworth has been up late listening to linkin park and clenching his fist. Keep your eyes peeled everyone, this one’s got an absolute clanger of a decision in him, I can feel it. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRB2 34 Posted December 26, 2023 Sky sports website says he was gesturing to the referee that a WBA player should have been booked too? Either way, it’s soft from all angles and it’s just made the afternoon harder.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

unique 439 Posted December 26, 2023 Nunez doesn’t know where the back of the net is….Rowe does. Will be amazed if the substitutions pay off…. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Players can’t possibly know where they stand. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No two events on a football pitch are the same, and every referee has a different level of tolerance for dissent and backchat. It's literally impossible for rules to objectively be applied consistently. Of course you can find inconsistencies even in the same referee's decisions in the same game, because they have to analyse things in a split second and then make the 'right' call. Unfortunately the partiality of supporters coupled with the the human brain's negativity bias and the importance of every key decision mean that the average fan will always think referees are sh*t/biased/inconsistent. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
