Interesting stat table on referee decisions from 13 of our games last season.. http://www.arsenalnews.co.uk/referee-review-201213-how-did-the-refs-do-when-swansea-city-played/link/699810/ Lets just hope they find someone else to pick on this season.
The trouble is , it's a small pool and to be honest a lot of the time it's been a linesman's call (or to be precise a lack ) which imo caused the most controversy. The standard has been poor and Webb for example is more concerned about his image than his officiating .
Referee: Phil Dowd Assistants: G Beswick, D Bryan Fourth Official: L Mason We've got a chance now then , (unless Dowd pulls a sickie)
No penalties last year - think we have earned some brownie points! And now old bacon face has left Man U maybe the ref's will be free of the Fergie fear factor! Dive away you Swans - dive for all you are worth!!!
A certain Mr Dyer pulled a (semi-justified) tantrum for not being allowed to take it. Granted, it wasn't in the Prem, but it was our only penalty.
