Referees Onside - Neville and Carragher.

Just watching this, personally think they have opened a huge can of worms here.

 

Worrisit

I've cancelled sky so none of my money ends up with the Allams.

 

Helpful to post and not include what the can of worms is.

I have no idea what you watched or what you are on about.

 

On Sky now... Neville and Carragher have spent time with all the Premier referees and taken part in their training sessions and listened to how and why they make decisions and what influences them.

 

cos they are a so-called big club?

 

It's an excellent programme.

The referees keep saying how they want people to remember they're human. Neville has asked for some sort of communication after games (not post-match but a day or two later) but they brushed that a side.

They've been looking at some of the poor decisions from the season and asked the referees to explain them. Looked into the stag do issue and the penalty/handball between Swansea/Burnley. Neville and Carragher tried being a linesman too.

 

They should try it themselves... before passing too much judgement.

 

They did try it themselves. That was the point of the programme. To find some middle ground with referees and to understand where they come from when making their decisions.

 

This is the issue. "We're human.. but how dare you criticise us in the way that literally every other human in this sport is criticised/scrutinised."

 

And one of the assistant referees when asked what they'd like from pundits was a 'some credit for getting decisions right'!!!!!!!!!

 

That ****er on Saturday would have a long wait. Apart from getting his boots on the right feet - he got most things wrong!

 

referees are constantly going to make wrong decisions, when you have to make a decision on something that happens as quickly as you blink

if the referee is here.............tackler..player, then he can't even see what force or the way he tackled even was.. get video refs involved, would make the game better for all involved

 

Nah
Too bloody long a delay every time

Press download apk not the green download button at the bottom right and away you go. Most programmes on sports and English sections are 720p so decent picture if you mirror it to TV. Can pick up all PL games somewhere, Astrosport, TSN. Bein Sport...

Just have to close an advert everything you go on but that is no big deal.

 

They kept trying to say how they're only human and want credit for getting things correct. Their intentions of doing the programme were pretty clear. Carragher and Neville obviously didn't play along to that 'story'.

 

Refs jobs would be a helluva lot easier if it wasn't for diving cheating manipulating players. FACT

 

How very ****in' reasonable of you Chazz - We're all brilliant armchair refs thanks to the benefit of half a dozen different camera angles and super slo-mo cameras.

 

Yep I mean even Harold Harry Maguire went for a pathetic ****ing dive on Saturday. He had the ball at his feet in the box and coulda played on but took the pro approach and went down.
****ing sickens me.

 

It used to be called ''cheating'', plain and simple. Nowadays it's ''winning a penalty'' - it's in grassroots football too. Thing is, you could stop it overnight - a panel could sit on a Monday morning and dole out REALLY swingeing penalties to those who've conned the referee, and cheated (not won ffs) to win a penalty. Like me getting to shag Marianne Faithfull, it's never gonna happen.

 

I've often thought how easy it would be to improve the game if (yes I know it's a very big "if") the powers that be wanted to do so; for example, it really gets my goat when I see a pack of players surrounding the ref and mouthing off. Why not introduce a rule that only the captain can speak to the ref? Give players a certain amount of time to get used to the idea (6/7 weeks or whatever) and then issue a warning to any big-mouthed, argumentative player, then a yellow and then a red. Might be messy at first but it wouldn't take long for the message to get through. Unfortunately, I don't think the FA/Prem have the will to implement such an idea. Sad really.
