Standard of Refereeing

[LeeB]

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.

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.

I absolutely put it down to that rather than malice.

[Mister E]

For the second week running, we had one player booked compared to 5 or 6 for the oppo. There is something about rotational fouling which refs do not seem to track. When I reffed (admittedly at the junior level), I would warn the captain of a continually-fouling side that he would get booked if the team continued to transgress. It often worked, and when any complaints were made I made sure people knew I'd warned the team before.

After the Leeds away debacle he should never have reffed another one of our games again.  He is a useless turd and that is being unkind to turds.

[dcdavecollett]

Like the awful Coote, he actually looks terrified that he's out there.

[Footy-Vill]

Vs Bayern Munich 41 year old Radu Petrescu is the official from Romanian.
This is a biggest Match of his Career arguably.

He didn't officiate champions league football last season But did one match season before - so only ever officiated once in Champions League Plzen 2-4 Barcelona.
And he awarded a penalty to home side Plzen!

This season in 5 matches in Romania league he has shown 21 cards in total.
And Europa Qualifying match this season one match and he showed 5 yellow cards.

Overall in 8 matches he's been in charge this season he has shown 32 cards
So that's an average of 4 a game.

This could probably just go in the pre-match thread Footy.

[Footy-Vill]

I just like to put ref appointments here so it can then be scrutinized specifically. And then same after matches if necessary.
I find things can get lost for discussion on pre match thread but I take your point.

[Nev]

Well, that was something else last night in terms of bias.

Seeing Newton Heath getting a soft penalty on Sunday will almost be a breath of fresh air!

[Footy-Vill]

That's two matches in a row where an opponent should have been sent off but ref didn't.
Can Referee Robert Jones Vs Man Utd make the right call if comes to it.
He's been appointed as official with John Brookes on VAR.

[Lsvilla]

So Morsy last week and Rashford today. I like Unai's respect for the officials but I think it doesn't actually do us any favours.

[Ads]

3 games and 3 ****** who should have walked.

[PaulTheVillan]

3 games and 3 ****** who should have walked.

All in a single week. Dog shit officials again. It's so boring now.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

I couldn’t really see the Rashford incident, after he’d already been booked as it was the opposite end, was it really that bad?

Definite yellow if he hadn't got one already

[Gareth]

Was a total bottle job by a poor referee…and his timekeeping at the end was awful
