Watched two matches: Chelsea Vs Brighton & City Vs Tottenham and both games had huge referee-ing errors at the end…How did Brighton not get a corner kick when the ball clearly hits a Chelsea player and goes out the line…And why did the referee stop Silva’s 1v1 chance against Tottenham to award a foul in favour of city…I am neither a brighton nor a city fan but both these decisions angered me so bad…And these smug referees just walk out with their satisfied punchable faces playing with the feelings of the fans and sanctity of our league…This is probably one of the most exciting seasons in recent times and yet we can’t enjoy it to the fullest coz of these incompetent referees…PL should just fire all English referees and import referees from other countries…

The City one was a mistake (and I can admit that as a Spurs fan) but not a wrong decision. It was a foul and it was a booking for Royal because he cynically tried to bring Haaland down to waste time.
He’s obviously got caught in two minds whether to pull it up then or not and has ended up getting it arse about face.
There is absolutely no guarantee Grealish would have scored though so City acting like it was a definite goal was the height of arrogance. Davies and Royal were coming round and Vicario is no slouch in these situations either.
Haaland should have been off with a three game ban for screaming abuse in the referee’s face and continuing to scream and swear at him after. The bloke is an absolute twat and they need to come down on these things.
If the ref goes reverses a decision, game starts with drop ball => corner wasn’t given. Good application of VAR just an unfortunate rule that exists in our game. The City / Grealish decision was atrocious and pure FIFA scripting tho
TDLR: OP doesn’t know the rules of the game.
And now right at the end Grealish versus Tottenham
Just expected to take the apology and believe in all seriousness that this is all just totally genuine incompetence. Nothing to see here. Same guy who did Spurs-Liverpool? Just a tragic coincidence.
Didnt see the final 20ish, we talking worse than our win against Liverpool?
Refereeing has been bad for a while but this season has just been so much worse than anything before. Needs a complete overhaul with new people but I doubt we will get that.
Outside of that one mistake the officiating during that match was outstanding. VAR was barely even needed. What is your standard then? Absolute perfection? That’s unrealistic
These threads are hitting a new low every week let’s be honest.
Don’t worry, AI will referee matches soon.
Without even joking the referees are become more famous than the players and all for the very wrong reasons !!! VAR fuck me what a joke that is
The referee for the NewcastleU vs ManU was actually very good I thought.

Not to mention 2 booked players for Bournemouth committing 2/3 more bookable fouls and staying on the pitch. Laughable referees these days they do it for bants I swear.
Because Simon Hooper is an absolute turkey. He always has a clueless expression on his face.
