which proves that the refs aren’t biased or corrupt, just plain fucking useless.

I wouldn’t go as far as to say “proves” but yes, they certainly are mostly useless.

We’ll see if this goes anywhere, but credit at least for finally putting in place a scheme we’ve been talking about since I was a kid.

Not a good weekend for referees, is it?
The Martinez horror show, the Vicario handling outside the box…
How did ours do?
I noted it was our first proper game for us.
I thought he did OK. There was one instance where he should have played advantage but didn’t. We also had a penalty appeal turned down, correctly in my opinion.
I’d have him back.

The worst referee in the PL by a country mile - Is David Coote

I was about to agree with that, as I completely ignore the PL too these days, bar our games. But then I remembered Oliver’s ‘performance’ at Anfield during the Nottingham game…

What does it mean ‘effectively’ stopped?
James Pearce uncovered this, didn’t he? They know he is watching them.
LOL. The first one is almost exactly the same as the one they refused to punish Arsenal for last season.
Amazing the Arsenal fans convinced the authorities are against them dont remember how the ref had to bend over backwards to not penalize them for that one.

Taylor is reffing our game on Sunday this is the 12th time he is doing our match he is fast becoming our personal ref. Poor Salah won’t get a look in as regards getting a penalty?

Yeah, no matter what referee they pick for us they are all shite.
Thing with Taylor this weekend, as opposed to some others, he is capable of dishing out a red card at any time. This might work in our favour, as the Arse are on a run of red cards at the moment.

you are right as we don’t seem to have any choice and we might get a worse one.
