Can you blame the referee?

[QBVILLA]

Shame their are no answers. Wasn't sure about the penalty ones. I always thought a player couldn't hit a rebound from the post or cross bar if he was the initial taker.

He can't but a team mate can. The answer to that one was not allowed to head it.

It's all so easy to blame the referee and its an easy get out for most premiership managers.

It has become one of my pet hates. for example The now infamous match between Chelsea and Man ure with Mark Clattenberg as ref. RDM spent his entire interview criticising the ref about decision he has a split second to make. He does this after watching half a dozen slow mentions from about half a dozen different angles.

At no stage did he blame Gary Cahill for making the split second decision to mark the space and try to cut out the cross instead of RVP a decision that cost them a goal. At no stage did he blame Ivanevic for deliberate fouling Young knowing that there would be only one outcome.

Its getting beyond a joke time to stop blaming the ref and get on with the game

5/12.

Premier League referees get top wages. We should therefore get top performances from them.

We don't, usually.

Agree.  Why admit that you have made mistakes or maybe are not good enough, when you take the easy way out and blame someone else.  I must admit that it is a side of the game that I don't like and I much prefer the way officials are treated in sports such as rugby and cricket.  I don't think the situation in football is helped by the witch hunts that often take place after games in the Sky studio where every decision is pored over and criticised by people who have the advantage of seeing the incident from a number of camera angles and in slow motion.

6/10

I ran the line at my sons game yesterday first time I've don't it for a few years and it real makes you appreciate the difficulty that officials face when making decisions. These lads are only 12/13 so I can't begin to imagine having to keep up with 22 premier lge players.

I flagged for offside when the opposition scored what would've made it 6-3 and got a lot of stick of their manager, the ref didn't give him a talking too and added that he thought it to be offside and my flag confirmed it. I hope my next turn with the flag is a good way off

9/12  gutted
Used to be a ref a few years back Midland Combination League, don't think i could or would do it now though.
Ran the line for the lads team a few times   ........"You should F***ing keep up with play linesman" etc etc and that was just the mom's........
