Standard of Refereeing

[lovejoy]

The "2 referal incidents in each half" would just mean every team refers each goal conceded to the monitor leading to longer reviews and hold up. I can't see how that helps.

Not really. Players don't protest every goal. In the NFL, if a coach with two challenges loses the first one, the don't get a second. If they win the first one they keep the second. So it forces them to use the challenge with more scrutiny.

How many touchdowns are there on average in each match vs goals in football?

[LeonW]

Chelsea got another penalty yesterday for s push in the back on a player. Two in two games for similar offences.

[LeeB]

Excellent 'dink' finisher as well.

Yeah, I agree. You'd just use it for it every goal.

Think someone needs to do a compilation of all the non penalties we’ve had this season. Getting a bit ridiculous

Good job we didn't get the Abraham pen as Ty scored from the corner.

See. The ref knows we're shit at pens, they like us, really.

Although Tammy would have taken it. Then we would have seen if he had already adopted the Villa approach.

At what point did a push become acceptable? I’ve seen a push waved away by the ref in so many matches now, or a blatant pull of the shirt. It’s getting ridiculous what is now deemed acceptable.
