Watched two matches: Chelsea Vs Brighton & City Vs Tottenham and both games had huge referee-ing errors at the end…How did Brighton not get a corner kick when the ball clearly hits a Chelsea player and goes out the line…And why did the referee stop Silva’s 1v1 chance against Tottenham to award a foul in favour of city…I am neither a brighton nor a city fan but both these decisions angered me so bad…And these smug referees just walk out with their satisfied punchable faces playing with the feelings of the fans and sanctity of our league…This is probably one of the most exciting seasons in recent times and yet we can’t enjoy it to the fullest coz of these incompetent referees…PL should just fire all English referees and import referees from other countries…
OP You saved me making a post…
The whole rule making body from the refs, to VAR, to the ‘law’ makers, are simply fucking the game up with incompetent ref protectionism and sacrificing the game and players for tech and rules that dont work. VAR can’t seem to understand the offside rule and adding so much extra time each game we now have a 15% increase in players seriously injured…
Nothing going on atm is improving the game in anyway at all.
