Quote from: ktvillan on January 18, 2014, 08:19:32 PMI'm struggling to understand why people are saying you can;t blame the ref for the pen. First off he was directly behind the incident, and the view from the camera at the far end - similar to his view but further away - clearly showed there was little or no contact and certainly not enough to warrant a swan dive. Second, unless he's been living on a distant planet for the last two or three years, the ref would know, like everyone else does, that Suarez is a cheating diving c**t. Thus any going to ground by that clown should be treated with the utmost suspicion and scepticism, unless you are 1500% certain he was fouled. But as usual with the SKy pet teams the refs are all too ready to give anything when they go to ground against one of the "making up the numbers" brigade. If you have ever been a referee you will know the ref could not be blamed. Without video evidence he gave the decision. You can't think Suarez is a diving cheat - you have to judge what you see. The fact that he took no further action against Guzan means there was some doubt in his mind. If he had not given the pen and there had been contact he would had been crucified and sent to league 1.Some refs are up themselves - I don't think this one today was. Had it been one of the prima donna refs we would have lost today. If you want me to name names I will.

Yeah that Guzan is a stupid match loser. Get rid.

Had it been one of the prima donna refs we would have lost today. If you want me to name names I will.1. First, how do you know I've never reffed? 2. If there was some doubt he should not have given a game changing decision. 3. If he had got it wrong by not giving it it's no different to getting it wrong by giving it. Wrong is wrong whatever the decision. I don't see how you can differentiate and say one is acceptable and one deserves demotion, that's nonsensical.4. He didn't give what he saw. He couldn't have done because he gave a foul when there was clearly no foul, as countless replays have proven. He gave what he thought he saw, or he gave what he wanted to see and he did so because Suarez is a convincing cheat and/or Liverpool are on of the elite. A professional referee should have taken Suarez's nature into account, but that probably didn't suit his (or the premier league's) agenda.5. The fact he took no further action against Guzan is, to me, the ref's admission that he gave a very dodgy decision. It was certainly not a red since a goalscoring opportunity was not on the cards as Suarez had knocked it wide away from the goal and out of play. But almost any ref would have given a yellow in that situation if they genuinely believed enough contact had been made to make the player go down.

I'd rather be mid table than have to resort to that to get results, I honestly would.
