I thought we weren't supposed to accuse referees of cheating...Referees encouraging players to go down... a.k.a. cheating
Bring it on. If it helps with my development I'm all for itEveryone knows if you get a stud on the ball by law in CANNOT be a foul. Duhhh!
Seriosuly though at what point do we assume refs are just trying to wind us up with these non-calls?
Refs are being made to look complete idiots and it affects the image of lower leageu refs as well.
You can all expect more dissent when you go back to refereeing.
You're all for more dissent?Bring it on. If it helps with my development I'm all for it
If it's not my fault...You're all for more dissent?
Ahh, that makes sense! I know us referees are a special breed, but actively wanting more dissent would be a bit much haha!If it's not my fault...
I think that came across wrong, I wouldn't say all for it, more it won't bother me I suppose.
VAR was Andrew Madley, not Martin AtkinsonPosting now I've calmed down slightly! I just don't see how anybody blessed with the gift of sight can look at a replay and think that it isn't a penalty; it's compounded by the fact that the VAR was one our most experienced and supposedly best officials in Martin Atkinson.
This isn't even about the VAR system, it's about experienced referees making basic errors every single week. Ultimately the system is only as good as the referees implementing it and they're just not good enough. It's no wonder fans/managers/players (and even referees) are running out of patience.
