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…

    Dont just blame the referees. Adingra knew that the ball hit Colvill’s face, still he appealed for a penalty. Sanctity of the game is a joke for players too with blatant simulation in every match. Now referees too are pitching in with their bit.

    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.

    Just expected to take the apology and believe in all seriousness that this is all just totally genuine incompetence. Nothing to see here. Same guy who did Spurs-Liverpool? Just a tragic coincidence.

    Not to mention 2 booked players for Bournemouth committing 2/3 more bookable fouls and staying on the pitch. Laughable referees these days they do it for bants I swear.

    New lows? They literally messed up a call so badly they had to completely reevaluate VAR communications

    A ref blowing the whistle too soon isn’t a new low.

    The City one was a mistake (and I can admit that as a Spurs fan) but not a wrong decision. It was a foul and it was a booking for Royal because he cynically tried to bring Haaland down to waste time.

    He’s obviously got caught in two minds whether to pull it up then or not and has ended up getting it arse about face.

    There is absolutely no guarantee Grealish would have scored though so City acting like it was a definite goal was the height of arrogance. Davies and Royal were coming round and Vicario is no slouch in these situations either.

    Haaland should have been off with a three game ban for screaming abuse in the referee’s face and continuing to scream and swear at him after. The bloke is an absolute twat and they need to come down on these things.

    Refereeing has been bad for a while but this season has just been so much worse than anything before. Needs a complete overhaul with new people but I doubt we will get that.

    Because Simon Hooper is an absolute turkey. He always has a clueless expression on his face.

    Outside of that one mistake the officiating during that match was outstanding. VAR was barely even needed. What is your standard then? Absolute perfection? That’s unrealistic
