Standard of Refereeing

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

Yeah it was just so obvious. I'm not sure why there seems to be some artificial higher threshold for a 2nd booking. Walk the ******.

[London Villan]

No attempt to get the ball, just trips him running towards the penalty area.

Dictionary definition of a yellow.

Seen a replay. Fucking hell.

[PaulWinch again]

Staggeringly poor decision not to give the second yellow.

[Bent Neilsens Screamer]

Seen a replay. Fucking hell.

Yeah just seen it, if it was the one on Bailey, definite yellow and would have been if he hadn’t already been shown one, not that it should make a difference. The ref wasn’t shy in giving them yellow cards but bottled that one.

[Legion]

Clear yellow card. Should have been sent off. Poor decision.

[lovejoy]

I think the club should at least ask the question.

[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.

As No Jones can't make the call.
Rashford should have gone for two yellows
3 matches in a row now where refs call is incorrect and sending off players weren't implemented.

I was listening on the radio - and Clinton Morrison said it wasnt a yellow - and what he doesnt know about football isnt worth knowing.

Morrison was bound to defend the referee. He's a pathetic pundit. Can't string a decent sentence together....

I heard them talking about second yellows on the football weekly podcasts and they mentioned that Mike Dean (I think) stated that there is a higher threshold for 2nd yellows, which is frankly complete and utter bollocks.

Mike Dean is a grade one publicity seeking tosser. The ball had been played by Bailey and he was skipping away from Rashford who lazily rather than maliciously kicked Bailey's legs from under him. It was as blatant a booking as it gets. The very definition of a yellow card. Mike Dean gets a well paid voice on Sky Sports and spends his time being self appointed president of the referees covering each other's arse society. He's a sycophantic little knobhead.

What I did see over the weekend was at long last defenders being penalised for scragging in the penalty box. I hope they also take note of the blocking that Arsenal employ.

No one’s mentioned the way he stood there tapping at his watch as if to say he was adding time on whilst Emi had the ball at his feet IN PLAY. It is not time wasting if the ball is in play.

You could just as well penalise Man United players for not trying to get it off him. If the ball is in play we are entitled to hold it and ask the attacking team to come for it as it is part of our game plan.

I can maybe forgive fans for howling about it, but you’d expect a ref to understand the basics.

Are they going to start booking players for taking it into the corner next?
