You don't necessarily agree with it but it's not out order?? Make your mind up?? Refs in the premier league imo are out there to get noticed, a good ref does not get noticed. Firstly I don't think players should earn the money they do, so your saying that refs salarys should match those of the top players.....I don't think so...if Clattenberg and Atkinson are paid 50k to referee 90 mins...happy days!! It's just a shame they're not very good under the cosh, the ref in Paris put them to shame imo, yellow cards were brandished but he was spot on every time.
It can be the wrong thing to do but not out of order you know. It's not black or white. And I didn't say refs salaries should match the players.
Wrong and out of order are the same thing in my book. You didn't say refs salaries should match the players....so why did you make a comparison in your original post??
I know refs gets decisions wrong but this player decided to shoot and kill the ref who gave him a red card is just truly awful. RIP http://www.foxsports.com/soccer/story/referee-shot-dead-by-player-he-red-carded-in-argentina-021616
I should add that I put the images up because the graphics aren't brilliant these days, and I'm being a total kid about it all. I like the idea that modern players like Austin and Pelle are playing in a 2005-6 computer football game.
Another one? They're forever doing it. Every once in a while a player really takes it to heart and shoots the ref. Who'd be one?
Hebei Fortune in China have signed Ezequiel Lavezzi from PSG for £23.5m. He's signed a two-year contract on £400k per week. Yup, really.
Appalling. I hope he gets his just desserts. I may criticise some refs, but we can't have a game without one!
Just shows how having a gun doesn't stop violence (as some Americans believe)....if he hadn't had a gun, he might have calmed down. Although anyone who thinks being given a red card is a good enough reason to kill someone has obviously lost all sense of reality.
I know nothing of the Chinese football league, but is it really good enough to be attracting players other than those right at the end of their careers? Or is it just the money?

On the point of referees, I still think they need and should get more help. By technology. Technology has come such a long way since the 66 world cup final. The best league in the world finally has goal line technology but little else. It's not good enough in today's world. Even if we went to the 2 review system in cricket where you could review an offside goal, sending off or penalty decision. It adds excitement. Team buy players for millions and pay them tens of thousands but too often it's not them that decide matches but the man in the middle on £24 a week. As for clattenberg, he is a pompous twat, parading around like a prima donna of self importance grabbing the headlines. Actually, didn't he have it out with lallana after he made the England team that was made public. Yep, like I have always said clattenberg is a top bloke.
British Conservative Party member Daniel Dalton, Belgian vice-chair of the committee on economic and monetary affairs, Sander Loones, and Ramon Termosa, of the Spanish Convergencia party, have raised concerns that Spanish banks - bailed out by European taxpayers - provided guarantees for the transfer fee. A leaked report from whistle-blowing website Football Leaks revealed last month that Bale cost in excess of 100 million euros despite Madrid previously insisting the deal was worth 91 million euros. http://www.skysports.com/football/n...nancial-probe-into-gareth-bales-transfer-deal
I thought I'd seen every Monty Python sketch, but that one got past me. I laughed like a drain. Excellent! Especially after all the logical philosophy explanation on the goal that Karl Marx thought was just plain offside.
Don't know if it has already been mentioned elsewhere, but Man U are playing Mittjyland at 18:00 this evening. Do we become Mittjyland supporters for the night (two nights, if you count the second leg), or do we try to balance our in-built dislike of Man U against the 'support any English team' attitude beloved by the media?
