Standard of Refereeing

[cdbearsfan]

Yeah. You can sympathise if a referee misses something, but when they see it and decide they're going to ignore the rules, they're cheats.

When you had the pundit, was it Alan Smith? saying, the challenge wasn’t a red card, it could easily have been deemed one. It was definitely a yellow. A yellow that would have seen him rightly off. That aside, Atwell gave them nearly every decision and allowed Ipswich to kick lumps out of us. Shit ref.

Atwell is a total scum bag. He has no idea the difference between a foul and a fair challenge.
Totally bottled it yesterday, there were 2 bookable offences after the yellow.
Absolute idiot or bent , not sure.

Bottled it; he would have given them yellows if they had not already been on yellows.

The laws of the game are there for all to see but it’s the application that’s the issue. Yesterday was comical, he saw both fouls and decided not to give him a card. They should be wheeled out in front of the cameras and made to justify decisions like this. It’s too easy for them to run off to the next game without justifying their decisions to the people that count, the fans.
This seasons fad is booking players for kicking the ball away, which is good, but it won’t last more than a few months.
There’s having a bad game and then there’s
doing what you want and ignoring the laws of the game. I guarantee he’ll be giving players second yellows for a lot less than that this season.

He booked Digne correctly for kicking the ball away, but he hadn't seen it and did it off the back of the Ipswich player moaning about it.

He looked like a child that had lost both his parents and his favourite teddy in a large supermarket, scared and only with a vague comprehension of what was going on around him.

Referee bottled the decision to send him off, plain and simple..Took a long time to even blow the whistle for the foul which was strange as it happened right in front of him.

However the ref would be a long way down the list of things of what went wrong on Saturday for us.

He would, but he'd be very high on the one from Sunday.

I know what you mean though, we were crap. But still, when you have ref like and the opposition can do what they like as long as the ref is looking directly at them (which was every single time) it knocks you off your game, that's why teams do it.

The game now is pretty soft all in all, but when you do get a team sticking the boot in rather than clamp down on it, refs seem raise the threshold for that team on what constitutes a foul. Dyche's teams get this, his big clogger's always seem to get away with challenges that would be punished differently (see Tarkowski again at the weekend) in other games because they make so bloody many of them.

[ChicagoLion]

I am convinced that the refs have never played a proper game of adult football.
You know instinctively the difference between an over the top challenge, a deliberate foul and a miss- timed tackle.
The second yellow card offence was a deliberate stamp with no real concern for the ball.

[nick harper]

We win the game against 10 so he has almost certainly cost us two points that may be critical come the end of the season.

Going away early in the season to a newly promoted team, I'm expecting the referee to favour them with 50/50s and let them get stuck into us. We should take it as a compliment, match their intensity and the gulf in class should take care of the rest. I'm not sure our midfielders made a tackle between them in the first half.

it's stuff like that which makes me think he's just shit at his job rather than it being spite towards us because of who he supports.
