Herman 9,713 Posted October 18, 2009 Bump.Enjoyable read mate.[Y] What would we have to talk about if all refereeing mistakes were wiped out[:)]Also,as shown in your picture,what did happen to those seats?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,509 Posted October 18, 2009 I don''t think that the standard of refereeing is very different through the leagues. Good and bad decisions are talking points as they always have been. It''s just that with TV pictures we can now scrutinise every incident.But I will say again that we were on the wrong end of too many decisions last season. That is not the reason why we were relegated but it certainly didn''t help. The Championship is the wrong place to get bad refereeing decisions. There isn''t so much between the sides so they can make a huge difference to the way a season turns out.In this league I have already noticed a much bigger gap between the standard of teams. One poor decision is much less likely to decide a game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,713 Posted October 18, 2009 One thing i don''t get is why the 4th official isn''t used more efficiently.All he seems to do is hold the board up,and give the managers a telling off! I am sure he does more than that,but....And not wishing to stick up for the guy,but did Roeder get a lot of bad decisions against him?? Maybe the refs hated him as much as us[:D] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The game that really does it for me was Bristol City when they were given a penalty and Doc was sent off. Then later in the game we had a perfectly good shout, when Drury was barged over in the box, waved away. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,713 Posted October 18, 2009 The Bristol game is the one that popped up straight away for me as well!!The one that got me worried is the recent Gills game.I thought it was going to be another long season of refs hating us,but so far it hasn''t turned out that way.(Fingers crossed,touch wood etc.etc.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legend Iwan 30 Posted October 18, 2009 Cheers for the comments - all criticism welcome. I reckon there might be something in the arguments that say top teams are awarded more than their opponents, as well as, you make your own luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
