Rookie refs 00:12 - Jan 14 with 3228 views | JackFish | For some reason the premier league thought that giving a hugely important relegation battle to an inexperinced referee was a good idea - he could have refereed the Chelsea or Southampton games tonight if they wanted to give him some experience of the top flight without directly affecting the title race or relegation battle. For some reason we're always the guinea pigs with these refs and every single time they manage to screw us over - from Attwell letting H&W kick our players off the park to Linnington's complete loss of control in that farcical league cup game against Scunthorpe, Madley doing everything but throw the ball into the net to equalise for Stoke and now this set of officials that have managed to get just about every single decision wrong. Is it because we're seen as an easy team to ref because we're (generally) not interested in deliberately fouling the other team? Because they know the ref's not going to be surrounded by all our players whenever he makes a controversial decision? Whatever the reason I'm completely fed up of them ruining our matches. | | | | |

I'm not suggesting there's a conspiracy, just that we get more than our fair share of rookies who've never or hardly ever refereed at this level before, and I'm wondering if it's because we're seen as an easy team to ref. | | | |

But we wouldn't have had a rookie, if the original ref hadn't cried off | |

Surely though for such an important game, there should have been the contingency of the 4th offical being experienced rather than this clown in case of such an event. I'm sure many of the other PL games tonight had 4th officials who would be miles ahead if this idiot? | | | |

It's not an important game to the FA though. If it were two of the top teams though... | |

I watch an awful lot of football at Step 7 and you get issues over refereeing performances with the fans in that league too, it isn't just the PL. I don't know how we address it really, that's the problem. [Post edited 14 Jan 2016 0:38]

Plymouth fan Malarkey screws us again. Why is there a refereeing adjudicator at every game? No matter how appallingly bad the ref is there is never any comeback. As said before, if any worker performed so badly they would be sacked. | | | |
