The problem with many of the officials is that they are not experienced enough to handle big games or situations
They are being Fast Tracked through the different levels of refereeing by the PGMOL with VAR bailing them out
with the majority of Major decisions
The problem with this method is that VAR does not help the refs out with fouls, yellow cards, second yellow cards (unless the yellow needs to be upgraded)
The best one lately is Time Keeping and that is where they can be manipulated.
They say ' a minimum of x amount of minutes ' which covers their arse to play on till when 'they' want, - This I believe should be taken away from the ref in the premier Leagues and let them concentrate on the game
The Var people should take over the time keeping with an official clock stopping and starting so everyone can see where the added times come from
How many times have we seen refs play over the allocated minutes only because the away team is attacking, then suddenly blow as soon as we gain possession
They are not medical experts either, so do not know if anyone is feigning injury or cramp, they have to go with protocol
They have lost the grasp of the 6 second Law for goalkeepers which believe it or not is still part of the Laws, but never enforced these days
these and many more rants are sure to follow
