The sport is influenced more than most by the mistakes and personalities of each ref.

Maybe in cup matches but over the course of a league its not really noticeable, they aren't wwe characters, sometimes they are just a bit poo poo.

You can't see his exact position at the time of the incident, but it's clear he was well within the penalty area and should easily be able to see wasn't in the goal. It's a difficult position to be put in by the assistant but really he ought to have been on top of it himself.

Definite goal this, top refereeing imo

Tortuga means turtle, and that's me. I take my time but I always win.


It doesn't really matter what ref you get now that the only full on corrupt one has retired imo. An incompetent referee has an equal chance of helping either side.

The only proper poo poo refs were Mike Riley and Uriah Rennie and if you saw either of them in action live you'd be begging for Clattenburg to come over and hold you right now

Phil Dowd is a decent ref until he inevitably makes a terrible decision at some point in the match and then freaks out overreacting by trying to award the other team things to even it out, or giving yellow cards to everybody for no reason in a panic. Also he's too big to run quickly so he's often just guessing what happened in events by what he saw from halfway down the pitch.

I have an irrational hatred of Mike Riley. He's just so feeble looking, how can he command any respect. Refs should be mean and jacked.

If Phil Dowd were actually fit he'd be the best official in the Prem but you're right about that. He routinely lags behind play. It has it's advantages though! He always gets tackles from behind spot on.

What, I wonder, does this hidden face of madness reveal of the makers? These K'Chain Che'Malle?
I found a great quote on the BBC in an article about a female referee being told her place was the kitchen...

quote:

The Northumberland FA, in all its activities, will not discriminate, nor treat anyone less favourably, on grounds of gender, sexual orientation, marital status, race, nationality, ethnic origin, religion or belief, ability or disability. The Northumberland FA will ensure that it treats people fairly and with respect and will provide access and opportunities for all members of the community to take part in, and enjoy, its activities.

Good. When it comes to refs, the FA frown on discrimination based on ability.

Clattenburg is dropped for the weekend because he broke security/integrity protocols and travelled alone to the WBA vs. Palace match instead of traveling with the rest of the crew. The reason? So he could leave early enough to make it to an Ed Sheeran concert that night.

Get this, he's not the only one to get in trouble over an offensive drone
