I know Holloway is a gobby little runt, but to be fair to him, he's got a point. When do the smaller clubs get the rub of the green with the refs in the prem league. You've only got to look at City @ Chelsea, every time king tosser Torres and Hazard fell over they get a free kick. We get Jack ****e
I'm usually the first to bemoan referees against us, but I didn't think he was that bad. Torres dived but it looked like a foul at the time and if it wasn't for the sky cameras we probably still wouldn't know about it now. Brady should have conceded a penalty but the ref was obviously thinking of the previous penalty against us and went easy on us. I make that two wrong decisions, one for each side. We'll get worse refs than that.
I can't remember if it was MOTD or Sky post match, but they did a long shot of the Chester/Torres incident, and it clearly showed as Torres jumped, Brady walked between the ref and the incident. The ref has no replays - and has a second to decide whether to blow or not. Chester's leg was out and Torres was on the floor. Any ref would have given that, and will continue to give it - unless you want to bring in some kind of video refereeing.
The reason the bigger clubs appear to get more decisions in their favour is that they spend a damn site more time on the ball and attacking than the ****e teams who, getting nowhere near them, make stupid tackles. If you attack 15-20x, you'll always get more free kicks and pens. They probably should get another 10-15 fe kicks too but these get overlooked as they have had the majority of the attacks in a game. The 'little' teams make the occassional foray into the opponents half and because they may not get a foul if they get bundled over, fans/managers think its a conspiracy because every decision went against the,, when in reality they had 2-3 attacks and 1 came to **** because of a dubious referreeing decision. Of course, the above is absolute bollocks when we're playing any of the so called big clubs and it's a ****ing outrage that we didn't get 7 pens and the cheating bastard diving twats on the other side didn't have their 3-4 goals disallowed even though there was absolutely nothing wrong with them Granted there are times when the bug clubs seem to get a decision in there favour but if the li
I reckon its not down to who ever is the better team, I think its the quality of ref's these days. you could bring in a video ref like in rugby, but i personally like the controversial part of football, except when its going against us ofc . Whoever in football said 2 wrongs don't make a right. I honestly believe in football it is right, if they referee awards a silly penalty and goes in at half time and see's it, he should only even up the playing field.
like when we make a defensive wall for a freekick and a chelsea player bulldozes it out of the way without repercussion or when we're two goals up at anfield and the referee ignores two blatant fouls to push our best defender out of the way while liverpool equalise.
Disgraceful exhibition by Holloway. He needs to grow up and get some anger management. Don't think he'll be managing in the Prem by Christmas.
How can a cheat call a cheat. Palace where/are the biggest load of cheaters in Football. The only reason Holloway is whinging is because the decisions went against him. Most of the penalties they got last season in the Championship where from dives in the box.
Seems like the penny's dropped with most people. He knows they're probably not good enough to stay up, so he wants to put pressure on refs immediately to try make it harder for them to give decisions against his team. Worth a try I suppose, but it makes him look daft, as I saw nothing wrong in the build up to the Spurs goal at all. And then he handballed it. In the box. Pen. Hopefully we won't need to go down this road.
When he was last in the Prem with Blackpool, they got the second highest number of penalties. He has no excuse.
I don't see why people think Holloways outbursts at officials will make refs more reluctant to give decisions against his team. If I was a ref, it would really spur me on, just to piss him off. I'd find it hilarious, and I'd find it even funnier if he went on a rant about it and got fined for it. If anything he's making things worse for himself.
