Have just seen the Chelsea , Wigan game and saw the disgraceful decisions that the officials gave (more so he linesman than the ref) and wonder if there ever is times when it is acceptable to lambast the officials. Let's not forgett the decisions from yesterday's game could have a huge detrimental effect on thr welfare of the club. When we picked up our charge during the week this came from our players questioning the call of a ref , ie he thought it was a pen our boys didn't. Wigan's complaints were not about a could be, maybe not type of incident, evidence shows that without any doubt the linesman was 100% wrong. So should the FA reflect this in the decision to charge Wigan, have they got the balls to say sorry we , as in our officails got it wrong so there was a level of justification, or should everyone accept decisions and not challenge them even when it is as obvious as this was.
And now Wigan and Norwich face £20,000 fines from the f a or do they?. And also Wigan could be relegated and lose £39 m plus. You must feel sorry for Chelsea about having to worry about an f a cup semi final and a champions league semi against Barcelona coming so close together !, i mean the Wolves supporters would not fancy swapping places would they? !.
I think it should be perfectly acceptable to slate the ref if he's made a blatant **** up. That Ivanovic goal being given is an absolute disgrace, and could in theory cost Wigan Premier League status. Nobody can say that isn't wrong, and they happen week in , week out. Am Monty says, for a club like Wigan to lose that revenue, could cause really deep ****.
Ju st seen another example in the Man Utd game, 1.5 yards off side , the flimsyist bit of contact ,the swan dive and to top it all a red card . Game over as a fair contest within15 mins.yet within 1 minute that 4 official knew they got it wrong. It really is turning into a shambles,these are not difficult , border line decisions.
don't think the utd decision affected the outcome personally. QPR needed an extra ball even before the red card. BUT look at Larsson's yellow yesterday .. As much contact as there was with young and he gets booked. Utd get a penalty. The wigan decision was a disgrace. One if the worst I've seen (along with Cisse against Liverpool) but the difference is that this one affected the outcome and the club involved could pay dearly.
Sorry don't think you can say well Utd would have won any way, dosn't soften the injustice, I remember Blackburn going to Utd in December and doing them 3-2.
It is all down to the F.A. and the way they tell referees to interpret the rules. Should get a hold of the referees handbook, it is an eye opener
