It's a Premier League ref at Old Trafford, YV.
Pretty standard, really.

I haven't seen any of the match, so I don't know whether the decisions were right or not.
 
You would say that though, Lidls.

Tripping seems to be one of those offences that's a yellow card for some and not for others, for some reason.
The same applies to shirt pulling and tugging back players when they've gone past you.

I don't mind a little inconsistency amongst different refs, as you can understand that each one has a different judgement on some of the more open laws.
I do mind when the same ref makes several different decisions about the same bloody offence, though.
 
If Ade doesn't stay, what about Luis Adriano

Like when Young goes down for a soft pen under minimal contact, he gets it, yet when welbeck does the same to a defender to go through he's allowed by the ref to go on and miss an open goal.
 
I'm not sure what's worse about that clip, HD:
The glaring, comical miss or that one of the defender's wearing number 91.

You're not playing American Football, you twat!

Adriano has a future as a field goal kicker from the clip (is that what they are called?)

They're just called Kickers - although for some reason, the rest of the team aren't called Throwers, Runners, and Bargers. Which is less embarassing than some of the positions they do have names for, such as Wide Receiver, Tight End, and the Long Snapper...
