Standard of Refereeing

[Rigadon]

The interference was subjective in this case and that is what makes it all flawed.  Mr Rednapp perfectly illustrated the point that there was no real interference as Semedo was getting nowhere near McGinn even we assume Rogers poleaxed him which he certainly did not.  If it is Liverpool at Wolves that is getting allowed.

The final bit, all day long.

VAR just allows a double layer of bias. If you get past the refs you then have to get past full kit wanker watching slow mos.

To use a boxing analogy first used by Terry Downes when talking about boxing I the US "Over there you have to knock 'em out to get a draw".

Is Dermot still a ref? Just wondering how he has heard the VAR broadcasts or do the studio people hear those anyway? However I did raise that it a lot of the decision depended on the way the call was made. I still would have preferred the ref to make the final call though.

As for the "independent" decision that the Woods call was wrong, I would have actually stated it was offside anyway as he does push ahead of the defender from an offside position AND went for the ball as well so I'm not sure where they think that was a wrong call.

He does Skys ref watch on a Monday so he has the inside track of what the PGMOL brief him to say each week.  Invariably he backs the officials decisions or if he is being controversial says it’s open to interpretation :-)

Paid to mark your own homework :-)

Simon Hooper the ref in the semi final of the league cup announcing decisions to the stadium
Its a good move to see.
He announced that Isak was offside pointing at him and the decision of an indirect free kick.
I like this.

I saw this.
It happened.

TBH, it is pretty shite really. I want them miked up for any requests / discussions live. I don't want to know the decision at the end when for most decisions it is very obvious anyway.

Yes the whole exchange of intercourse between officials should be announced and heard -but it’s a start.

I don't want to hear refs shagging thanks.

[Footy-Vill]

For Heavens sake!
Intercourse means communication or dealings between individuals or groups.

Filth. Try and keep it clean on here.

Groups? Disgusting!

Yes exactly.
See above as what intercourse is.
It’s clear trying to debate and discuss but it’s others who are bringing a sense of vulgarism.
It’s not a peep show for refs that people are after and Drummond is being overly crude and twisting it!

Drummond needs to withdraw.
