I think Lampard should call out the EFL as well.

Bring up that we keep getting these letters and we keep getting apologised to but things aren’t improving. Say something along the lines of “I’ll probably get charged for bringing the game into disrepute for saying this but it’s the EFL that are bringing the game into disrepute for allowing refs to make such terrible decisions week in week out”.

I really think we should start using his name and popularity to start pressuring them. Write an article in a national newspaper or something.

Hate to say it but I've got a feeling even worse is yet to come with refs this season.
Frank will explode when it does.

I’m at the point where I think his ‘reputation’ from early in his time here has made him a target for at least some of the refereeing circuit.

Yeah he said we get letters after apologising.

What happens to the refs?

What do you think should happen to them?

I’m surprised that people think a public pressure campaign against referees’ associations and the EFL is going to improve the treatment we get from refs this season…

We probably should’ve had 3-4 penalties since Charlton at home and could’ve been worth about 5-7 points.

I’m not one for conspiracies, but it is taking the piss now.

Something needs to be done with the refereeing at this level, been so poor for 2/3 years now.

It feels like the speed of the champ and the quality of the players has exploded int he league outside of the parachute teams to raise the level of the league far passed the quality of the referees.

VAR isn't an option as far as I'm concerned but I'd like to see more being done to improve the levels. What happened to the 5th and 6th officials that were just around the penalty areas? Sky blue tinted lenses tell me we need them more than ever in the champ.

The NFL seems to have dozens of officials for one game, with the amount of money in the sport is it not worth at least trialling the 5th and 6th based around the penalty area again and then even a 7th and 8th on opposite sides running the line?

People think refs are bad in England….They are blatantly corrupt in favouring the monied teams in Spain. Shockingly bad !

Quick question, please: do these letters to managers actually exist and who writes them - the referee, their assessor, or the EFL? What is the purpose of writing these letters if no action is to be taken about the issues raised in them?

I know we will never know but it would be nice to have the refs.thoughts on his reason for not giving the pen.

What I would like them to do, is to look at the footage after and see if they accept that they made a mistake or not.

Lampard has referenced getting apologies for a number of decisions. I'm guessing it's from PGMOL.

Apologies don’t get you any points. The amount of stonewall penalties that have been missed in a short space of time is not acceptable.

Our lead at the top has been halved and frankly, it shouldn’t have been because these decisions have cost us about 5-7 points. That’s without bringing up the Ipswich away game where Hirst should’ve been sent off if the officiating was consistent.

I hate to play the victim but the old adage that ‘it evens out over the season’ isn’t ringing true here.

It's a really bad decision, the worst of the ones that people have been complaining about recently IMHO.

I’m trying to think of absolute stinkers that have gone in our favour this season, can’t think of any.

Wright's offside goal at Sheffield Wednesday.
We were already 2-0 up & the ref had just missed a blatant penalty that should have been awarded to us too so I don't think anyone felt too aggrieved.

We need to frame all the PGMOL letters of apology and display them on the wall of the referee’s room.

Just caught up with watching refwatch on Sky and ex referee Dermot Gallagher said a penalty should have been given

DG looks like a grown up Jimmy Summerville.

I remember last season when Bristol City guy scored that spectacular volley when Dovin was in goal. DG ie Jimmy Summerville sid it should have been disallowed because a Bristol City player was offside right in front of Dovin.
