This is my favourite comment so far - absolutely priceless "...if you can’t grasp the potential ramifications of what being said here, then you’re not a real football fan at all. It’s like nobody cares about the massive number of broken legs Arsenal players (and Arsenal players alone) have had to suffer because of incompetent and biased refereeing. You seem to think that the trophies are what matters. It’s not about that for me. Poor, one-sided refereeing leads to players getting too physical and then you have situations like Aaron Ramsey lying in hospital with his leg in three pieces. You don’t have to go along with what’s here or agree with the conclusions but don’t suggest that it’s made up when there’s three full years of hard-work by neutral football supporting referees on here. Do yourself a favour and READ THE REVIEWS instead. You’re showing yourself to be a pretty small-minded mug by just dismissing it, to be honest. We’re talking about the fairness of the entire league here. Contribute something constructive or jog on." Hmmmmm, now where do I start?
They also publish a referees' league table of competence. The table (for last season) doesn't seem too way off to me: Forgotten how to post the full size version! Click the thumbnail.
Is that a list of the number of biased decisions made against Arsenal last season by each ref Robbie?
No, they have a separate table of bias! There used to be a rather good website called DebatableDecisions which published a "Real PL Table" adjusting the actual table according to points gained or lost through incorrect decisions. Their decision reviews covered all the clubs in the league, and the four reviewers would give their reasons in each case so you could see why they took the view they did. Unfortunately I think keeping it going every match day proved too much for them and it came to abrupt stop in Week 30 of last season. But their tables showed that Arsenal were in fact major beneficiaries, not constantly discriminated against at all.
munky, is that you who is arguing with them all in the comments section (flobadob)? they are so deluded!!! it's ridiculous. they've got conspiracy theories, jokes - the works!
the comments are amazing, they really are. i keep having to go back and look at them! the buggers have blocked me so i can't comment after i ploughed in to take the piss out of their website. they don't like it up 'em
Nah, I was the DeliaSmith comment - they appear to have blocked my IP address now also, how utterly pathetic! That's Flobadob bloke is still hanging in there, completely boying them with every comment but for some reason they all think they have the upper hand It is beyond pathetic, it really is, delusion of the very, very highest order
I used to visit that site, they even had a podcast but it did just stop. Shame really, it was interesting to see the actually break down. Especially as they supported different teams and were very impartial most of the time.
I'm not having a go, and I might be a bit prejudice here, but arsenal fans strike me as being ****s. Want evidence? Piers Morgan is a die hard arsenal fan.
That Walter guy is a looney bin, I looked at his ref website a couple of days ago and it took me about 12 seconds to realise what was going on, he has a little bit too much spare time. Lee Probert didn't have 7 incorrect red cards last season, because he only showed 5. And Arsenal escaped with a point against Saints because of a fortunate own goal.
Flopadob is single handedly owning all of them lol. It always amazes me when someone is talking sense and others choose to ignore it.
