The PL refs, where do they live and where did they grow up?

If no one else wants to do this, then we need to do it ourselves.

I could be wrong here but one of the issues this season is they are picking relatively local refs due to covid and travel.

 

I might be wrong but thought i read that somewhere...so that is why getting mancs.

Some of them defo got touched by their local priests.

They’re not great, but let’s not pretend the reason we are where we are is because of them. We’ve really struggled to break teams down. Two ways to score against teams sitting deep putting ten men behind the ball:

1. Shots from outside the box - other than Ox and Trent we have no one capable of scoring from outside of the box

2. A penalty box presence - Firmino’s dramatic regression and Virgil’s absence mean that we have lost what aerial threat we had in previous seasons

 

Fix the above and we’ll be back challenging again.

If this table doesn’t confirm that these fuckers make it up as they go along, I don’t know what does. Or maybe they give Dean the matches between the dirty teams?! ( 1 red card in nearly every 2 games, compared to Kavanagh, 0 in 15).

Sounds legit, but how smart is that though?

 

Not smart at all by the look of things. 

[BeefStroganoff]

Isn't it:

 

Mason from Bolton

Tierney from Wigan

Pawson from Yorks

Taylor from Manchester

Coote from Notts (but supports ManchesterU)

Kavanagh from Manchester

Dean from Merseyside

Marriner and Friend from Midlands

Oliver and Moss from North East

Madley from Wakefield

Swarbrick from Lancs

 

I think Oliver is the best ref by a country mile but he royally offed up in the derby.

 

[BeefStroganoff]

The problem is you need referees who are interested in the sport but have no affiliation to any club in the premier league which seems nigh on impossible

This is desperate stuff. It demeans us as a fan base to pursue this sort of nonsense. 

What are you talking about? This should be out in the open long time ago, simply to avoid speculation.

 

Im a politician, as a politician my one rule is that everything I do should be visible for those who want to look at what I do, who I talk to, who can gain an advantage because of my decisions etc, in other words, everything should be out in the open. 

 

Its been raised already that referees closer to the home team gets appointed because of corona, how is the refereeing influenced by this? For me, I’ve never seen worse refereeing in my lifetime. Should we look into possible reasons why? We obviously should, because these things influence them.

Code inciting vengeance here, he won't stop until all the manc refs heads are on poles. He sure as hell has the man power to do it, all under his own banner.

Revenge of the Viking. Coming to a ground near you this Spring.

[dockers_strike]

It's like Dave said in the everton mtatch thread. they're just giving the decisions they want to. There seems absolutely no redress. I mean Dean's sent off 7 players this season. Although at least 2 have been rescinded, how come Riley's PGMOL doesnt seem bothered one ref is red card happy?

 

Do they seriously think 'Mike's' just been unlucky and had unruly players in his games? Somebody should be questioning why is one ref seemingly sending off more players than others and having had a couple overturned?

 

Fuck me, first game back after he stood down after the supposed death threats and he's sent another cunt off! You couldnt make it up.

The FA have a history of appointing manc supporting referees for our games.  Anyone remember Joe Worrall way back in the 70's?

He reffed the 89 cup final.

There are 30,000 referees in the UK. The refs in the premier league have all started doing sunday league games between pubs and made it to the very top of their profession. Do you really think that after maybe 30 years of referring  they are still bias becuase of their post code and that’s the sole reason for our poor run of form; not the injuries, the lack of crowds, COVID, the mental fatigue no it’s all down to the fact that the ref comes from Wigan not Speke. I am honestly and profoundly embarrassed that we support the same club. I wish we didn’t. 

In short, yes.

 

Absolutely, yes.

I remember talking to his brother in law who told me Worrall  was a man u fan. Could be utter shite of course.
