    I get why they want to do this, but you can’t say some criticism isn’t deserved. Reffing has never been this bad or biased.

    Literally different calls every day, constantly changing rules every week and let’s not forget, literally for no fucking reason removing a goal scored. Refs aren’t even doing the MINIMUM now, they pick and choose which rules. We saw it again in Liverpool and Toulouse. The ref stopped the game and went back when they realised they messed up, yet they couldn’t do this for Liverpool spurs?

    Aww I was hoping that they would announce that they decided to pay their refs more, so they wouldn’t have to go to the middle east to get an extra pay check from a sovereign nation before they return home and officiate a game featuring a team that that sovereign nation also owns.

    not announced anything to improve the standard of refereeing

    not even investing in grass roots refereeing to get young people into it, that’s just an easy win… just repression repression repression and don’t dare to criticize

      Yeah investing in the lower levels of referring is the simplest thing they could do, but your right, just shutting down any criticism. While I mightn’t support the teams, I admire Arteta and Klopp for speaking out about the poor levels of officiating, the league has been won and lost on a single point and even goal difference before, so every goal, foul, point can be crucial, if not a league then maybe Europe, or even relegation, it needs changing

      Just because you don’t know about it doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen. They launched a new strategy for grassroots refereeing past July

      Charles Dickens wrote about it in the 19th century. It’s oppression coupled with repression, resulting in depression.

    If i was a club owner and my manager was getting fines for complaining about how awful the refereeing was I’d just reimburse him lol

    I will say this about the FA. I take a lot more stock in what they have to say about referee abuse than I do the PGMOL. They need to consider the standard of refereeing at every level of the game and there is a huge problem with attracting referees to the sport. The PGMOL are just soft twats.

    Maybe there’d be less criticising of the referees if they were doing a much better job than currently are, and not having massive fuck-ups every week.

    I can’t decide if their doubling down on shutting down criticism is more embarassing than the fact that they keep feeding all this embarassing exclusives to the Daily Mail
