Jordan Tansley Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 when will we get a decent ref? I havn't seen a decent refereeing performance this season, on tele or at AG. why is this? is the standard of officiating this terrible? can the home of football not produce a single decent ref? I'm actually disgusted by the growing ineptitude of officials in the last 5 years... when will this change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezgimed Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 We've had plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcbcfc Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I actually think over the last 5 years the officials in general have improved. We'll always have bad decisions but that's because refs are human and I for one don't want the human nature taken out of the game, or we'll end up with something like American football a game that lasts an hour but takes 3 hours to play.

Agree, the whole beauty of the game is that refs can make the odd dubious DESCION but thats what makes football football. I would hate it to get like Rugby league or cricket when they have to consult the third official and everyone has to look up at the big screen to see ''GOAL'' or ''FOUL''.

red23 Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Because you are biased and the referee is impartial? Well said. I seem to remember against Derby (?)when we had Mr Singh (the ref with the turban) it was one of the best refereeing performance's i'd ever seen...although that could be because my memory is slightly dodgy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I seem to remember against Derby (?)when we had Mr Singh (the ref with the turban) it was one of the best refereeing performance's i'd ever seen...although that could be because my memory is slightly dodgy I agree but others said he was awful. I thought the ref on Saturday was OK if a bit dodgy in the second half. There are some refs I can not stand though off the top of my head Styles, Rennie and Kettle all are really poor refs and I know I am not alone in thinking that.

Nibor Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I've seen a number of good refereeing performances this season so I think that's unfair. I've seen a few pretty dodgy ones too as well. It doesn't seem out of the ordinary either way to me. I'd like referees to have more opportunity to use their own judgement, I think FIFA have over legislated the game a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But aren't those challenges at the big tennis tournaments fun? When they show a computerised slo-mo replay, with the audience going "whooooo" as the ball flies through the air just for the fluff on the ball to 'just' catch the line.

Alex_BCFC Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 Haven't had many problems with officials this season. The clubs that blame them are normally near the bottom and desperate (Norwich). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappers Posted February 18, 2009 Report Share Posted February 18, 2009 I didn't think he was too bad last night, and seemed to get most things right. After every game there seems to be people whinging about something the ref missed, whilst overlooking the incidents that went in our favour. Let's not turn into a Forum of Ferguson/ Wenger moaners.
