But are they cheating-no. Most decisions balance out though fans dont see it that way. Just winge winge winge. Look at the howls when Schmeichel kicked it straight through to Gallacher from a goal kick, the majority of the crowd didnt know the fukin rules, most of the decisions whinged about on here after a game turn out to be right on the tv. Fryatts most probably was a penalty yesterday yet no one is demanding Dawson should have been penalised for hand ball with a penalty for Middlesborough are they? No.
'The decisions balance themselves out'. That's the easy way to brush it all under the carpet for the people in charge, it could never be proven so they will always roll that one out. It's bollocks, it'd take a miraculous chain of coincidences for every team to get an equally fair set of decisions. As for people complaining about Gallagher being offside from a goal kick, it's nothing to do with the ability, or implementation of ability, of referees. Your other example is also flawed. As I said earlier, people aren't asking refs to get every decision right, particularly difficult ones like handballs. But we do expect that if someone is through on goal and about to shoot, with a man behind him taking him clean out, that the ref should probably take some responsibility and if necessary, grow a pair. No one expectes refereeing super-computers, but we expect basic decisions to be made, not bottled due to fear.
No mention of Dawsons handball in your moans is there. No. Managers and fans always think the ref are biased against them. Stop fukin whinging you sound like a Hull FC fan. Never been beaten fairly just bad reffing decisions.
2 wrongs dont make a right or do they ? not a weekend goes by now with most refs making errors that should not be made. if they cannot get the basics correct then what chance the tricky ones. as for the divers and cheaters well they should set up a panel (like they have for the dubious goals) and review. any player found diving/cheating should get a 3 match ban. it would soon stop.
I explicitly did mention Dawson's handball. You seem to be arguing with yourself. I haven't said anything about refereeing bias against anyone. Just that most refs do their job in the most stupid, annoying and illogical manner possible, but going by your previous responses it won't matter what I'm actually saying. even though I haven't seen it happen. I'll say it again. We've had one good ref this season and we're halfway through, is that good enough? As Tickler says there are many ways that a referee's job could be made easier, but the people at the top don't want anything to change, they aren't fans so they don't give a ****.
No you didnt explicitly mention Dawson. You made a vague reference to handball decisions. Yes you say we have had one good ref. I disagree. The refs make poor decisons get over it is what i am saying. There isnt some deliberate bias against us.
But the point we're trying to make is that refs make poor decisions across the board, we're not arrogant enough to think it's a personal crusade against us. Having watched MOTD and the FLS this season there have been some poor decisions made. Look at the penalty Everton got on Monday for example, debatable red card decisions (Rodwell V Liverpool, Wigan are having a red card rescinded from Monday) and refs pissing off both managers such as in the Man United V Newcastle game a few weeks ago. As we've seen in games this season poor refereeing decisions have disrupted the flow of the game for both sides and poor decisions affecting both sides. It's no coincidence that in one of the games we had a decent referee this season we had a good flowing game and the referee only getting involved when he had to and not stopping for petty incidents. At the end of the day though you win and lose games on your own accord, you may not get a penalty decision but you still have to take your chances when they come for example. But as we've seen over zealous refereeing and poor decisions spoil and disrupt games and it is irritating.
I haven't said once that I think refs have a bias just against us. I'm saying they spoil games with their obsessive power-tripping.
