Famous last words before it gets worse 😁

The obvious difference is that all PL referees seem to be British whereas the players are from all over the world. Many from Africa.

Unless people of colour are actually disadvantaged in becoming PL referees why would anyone care anyway? I fail to see why more diversity alone would increase the standard of refereeing. Refereeing is a tough job. You dont become a PL referee overnight. If you dont go in there with the relevant experience you’d be eaten alive.

Just to be clear I’m far from biased against non-whites achieving any position in soccer or elsewhere. Tbh I dont give a shit what colour anyone is. But I fail to see how with all things being equal some fake enforced diversity drive would increase the quality of refereeing.

Thats what I thought about the Havertz tackle too.

I mean it was a rough tackle no doubt. But he didnt try to ‘get him’ with his leading foot. He clipped him with the trailing foot and because of that I dont think it was reckless.
