VAR, Refs and Linesmen | General Discussion

Moonlight and given penalties to state owned clubs, league is a joke
 
Every game I watch these days, I seem to ask myself why I even bother anymore.
 
Same ref demoted last weekend, gave a terrible terrible decision in that game and then gets given the biggest game of the weekend.
 
Refs being like "Pick me! Pick me!" for those lucrative UAE reffing gigs.
Can you imagine how good it must feel to leave England for a few days all expenses covered, first class flights, hotels and restaurants :drool:
Who can blame them? I'd give City another pen in the second half just to be sure.
 
There comes a point where it is no longer incompetence but corruption that is causing these decisions. That time was passed weeks back.
Good on Carragher to call it out.
 
The only consistency is the decisions that always go for City.
The sooner these cheats are thrown out, the sooner we can have a level playing field
 
I’m tired of games being decided by refereeing decision.
When’s the last time we enjoyed a great confrontation between two teams that wasn’t tainted in one way or another by a controversial call from the refs?

Likely a double salary for "consultancy work" or "public speaking" like we know Mancini, Yaya Toure, Kompany, Robinho, Aguero all received.

He's a terrible ref. But, in fairness the pen he gave last week was probably the right call. Player was just about to shoot and got pulled back and put the ball a mile wide.

Today though, that's just trying to get his name on a plane ticket.
 
That’s just never a pen is it. That happens week in week out and it never seems to be a pen for any team unless city. Anthony Taylor as per. The most useless ref in the country bar none.
 
VAR should have been scrapped the moment it was revealed decisions are taken based on how much stick the referee will be given.
 
What's happening to these 115 charges FFS? About time they get punished
 
I fail to comprehend how a ref is dropped a level down after a major error yet gets a reprieve a week later to officiate the reigning champions match. It reeks of incompetence and gives fuel to other beliefs.
 
Pundits saying its not clear and obvious error now. Where's that line been for months?
