How many ridiculous decisions have we seen over the past few matches?
The best officials are the ones you don't notice... yet on Sunday and last night, the referees wanted to put their stamp on the game.
Sundays events have been well documented. But last night?
A referee being conned by "injured" players. I know that referees have to give injuries the benefit of the doubt. But surely having a word would be appropriate when a player has gone down clutching his face and writhing around only to jump up once play (in our possession) has stopped?
A referee that booked a player for a challenge he didn't see. The referee was just about on line with me when Webber's challenge went in, and his back was pretty much to it. The free kick was only given when he saw their player on the floor and he booked Webber without even a word from his linesman. How can he do this? He did not see the challenge.
Was the foul on Webber a penalty? I'm yet to see it again so I darent say. But how about something simple like counting yards out for a free kick? That wall should have been behind the penalty spot but weren't. Surely something like that isn't open to interpretation?
I'd be interested to hear the views of our referees
