A bullet would be nice.Don't know what goes through some peoples minds.
I’m not sure he got the call correct-the amount of time it took him to arrive at the decision is a bit of a giveaway for me.
He may have made a mistake but it’s obviously unsettled him as he has now asked to come off the weekends games.
Think it was Lee Mason on the VAR on that game-hasn't been a top referee for some time if he ever was and as you know I'm not one to slate them.100% he made a mistake & 2 in a week is pretty poor but the overreaction is ridiculous.
Worth noting, he wasn't sending either Bednarek or Soucek off until told to have a look by the VAR.
I have a massive problem with this as it's already influencing the referees decision by basically telling him "We think you fucked up". They then show replays of incidents in slo mo which obviously exaggerate everything & the pressure on the ref to then give something he wouldn't ordinarily is simply too great.
They then trot out the line "the on pitch official has the final decision" but they've already undermined him.
“Who’s your father Referee”I remember the days when questioning their parentage would suffice.
Na, reasonable as a Referee, but inflated ego most definitely.
Why?He's awful as a referee
Why?
Who is the best referee in the Premier league in everyone's opinion?

To stop them becoming personalities, all refs should wear masks, so you have no idea which ref you have. Make it like "Through the keyhole", though in this case, it would be "Guess which Ref's the arsehole."
Whilst I’m the first to criticise a refs decision in the heat of the moment and whilst I can never understand why, in my opinion, refs ‘always’ apply the laws less stringently to our opponents I have to say I have never felt a ref I’ve watched tried to cheat. Yes they have good games and poor games, they make wrong decisions, they get lambasted by one manager or another (frequently both) and every decision these days scrutinised from every angle.
Should they be punished for a few poor decisions? Perhaps players who have poor games should be punished more harshly by clubs. Wouldn’t it be refreshing to hear managers (and pundits) instead of complaining about the ref getting a 50/50 decision wrong own up to ‘picking the wrong team’, ‘playing the wrong tactics’, highlighting their own keepers fumble, defenders missed tackle, midfielders misuse of the ball or strikers fluffed half chance. Why must referees have to be near perfect when we frequently accept average (or worse) from the players?
As I said I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a ref cheat and yet every game I watch there are players diving, pulling shirts, stealing yards, conning and intimidating refs by getting in their face. We accept these behaviours as ‘they are part of the game’ but don’t accept refs making honest mistakes.
Yes Mike Dean got it wrong the other day and he needs to reflect on that and be debriefed on ways to improve. I’m sure his average performance over 90mins has less mistakes than the majority of the 22 players

Not true. They would get put back a level if they didn’t meat the required standard.If a ref is consistently poor nothing seems to happen to them but if a player is consistently poor they will lose their place in the team.
So your post falls down at every single point.
They'd get the 'chop' then eh, Adge?Not true. They would get put back a level if they didn’t meat the required standard.
That would stop them being wankers I suppose...They'd get the 'chop' then eh, Adge?

I wouldn’t call any Premier League official “shite” as to get to that level you obviously have something about you/much the same as players.No they really don't unless the standard is useless.
I'd love to see what a ref would have to do to get you to admit they were shite. over 15 dead at a guess

What I will say though is the referees in the top flight has really stagnated over the last few years and the “Golden generation” of Webb,Clattenburg et al has long gone.
Atkinson, Marriner, Oliver, Taylor are probably the best of the bunch and maybe Pawson at a push.
Moss, Mason and a few others have maybe had there time-trouble is it sounds like there is not many pushing to come through. Paul Tierney probably been the pick.
Oh, ok.
Deflection usually. Striker misses a sitter, 'well the keeper shouldn't have even been on the pitch'. Lose 0-3, 'It was a defo penalty at 0-0'.People who complain about referees are always, without exception, the most boring people in football. So long as they don't deliberately ruin the game (which almost never happens), I have no idea why people spend time and energy droning on about them.
