Lescot should have been off (last man) but he gets away with it, the conspiracy against us continues. FIFA come on do some thing.
You are not allowed to criticise bad refereeing decisions that go against us on here mate..Some posters think that you are just making excuses, despite the fact that they are game changing decisions and are happening on a regular basis against us..
Without sounding like a broken record....APPALLING Not the only ****e ref today by all accounts... Action required
Every game, every week both sets of fans will be arguing about bad refereeing decisions. That says nothing about the fans and less about the referees. What it does say is a hell of a lot about the FA. The standards throughout are a disgrace to the game.
Decisions in TV studios are being used as the yardsticks for performances by refs. They have a difficult enough job as it is working within the rules that players are continually stretching through cheating/acting etc. Stick a camera on the refs brow and see the incident from his position. Analysing decisions with the benefit of slow motion more than one angle and height and you have the difference. Talking the AJ offside decision with and old mate who was a high grade ref, he compared the speed of the incident was like dropping something to the floor, now you have, now you don't. The linesman was dead level with play and AJ could have been half a stride off but the speed of the incident governed his decision.
Get him on the telly to answer this: You didn't give a foul against lescott, but on the advice of the linesman have the foul and the free kick. Good refereeing. However, once you've established that it's a foul, why did you not send Lescott off? Graham was certainly going to get to the ball before the GK. The only thing I can think is that as you were unsure it was a foul, you couldn't commit to a red card. That's shocking refereeing, you're wrong either way. You've either given a foul incorrectly or you've failed to send a player off for a professional foul. What was your thought process?
Not with me, haven't seen the replay. Lescott was the last man and the Ref had about 120 yards advantage in seeing it over my view (similar angle) Agree about the camera but today was a shocker of a decision imo.
****ing joke of a ref. The same ref what sent off Wes brown against hull for being last man. What was the difference between them two things you stupid ****ing prick. Hope jones, friend and marriner drops dead.
