Referee here stands by sending off the wrong player

Just me or are these guys cracking a little bit?

Thought that too. Covering their arses.

 

God, I f**king miss him.

Have to agree with pensioner, Its been so bad this year.

 

Absolute joke tbh the disparity between one incident and the following punishment and another is disgusting.

 

Greg dyke saying we are looking for a 'tactical advantage' because we are unhappy with what happened with matic? seriously, wtf?

 

I think from observing the past few months carefully, With an open mind, We all were and still are right to say that the media, fa, uefa and to an extent even the league itself are totally gunning for us and are all looking for anyway to stop us winning anything.

 

Jose has been fined how many times this year? one word, wenger. Its madness, utter madness.

 

Where does it stop? 

 

Every single game there is a big ref blunder now, joke. 

 

ps where are all the headlines and huge debates on the 60 million pound 'man' on a billion a week di maria being hauled off at ht against Sunderland?

 

...If that was torres or £60M di maria played for us, we would be being absolutely smashed for that.

 

Have to say, getting sick of this shiz. Wonder when ill be able to see a normal match where the ref doest decide it?!?!

 

Cripes people its worse than when utd would stroll to the title because of constant favourable decisions at the most important times!! 

 

must be the same mob again

 

1000% need video refs, effect the flow of the game, my big bolloc*s will it!!

I thought he never caught him at first but this video shows that he did actually catch him.

He should be banned but the ref will probably say he has seen it and he will be let off.

 

thats a just a normal follow-through, nothing in it . . .

The Santiago Bernabéu stadium will be renamed the Abu Dhabi Bernabéu, according to the Spanish sports newspaper AS. The report has not been confirmed by Real Madrid but their president, Florentino Pérez, was caught on camera admitting to a member of the regional government that the stadium will be called whatever the Abu Dhabi investment group Ipic wants it to be called.

 

Madrid signed a deal with the International Petroleum Investment Company at the end of October 2014. Ipic owns the Spanish petrol company Cepsa and is in turn owned by the emirate. No figures were given but Pérez presented it as an agreement that would enable Madrid to carry out the redevelopment of the Bernabéu.

 

The deal was understood to be worth €3m (£2.25m) a year until Madrid begin work, when Ipic would pay €20m a year. Madrid have not said that the stadium will be renamed although Pérez has admitted that it might be given a “surname”.

 

Privately, he was more explicit. In mid-November TV cameras caught Pérez talking to Lucia Fijar, in charge of the department for sport and education in Madrid’s regional government, following an event organised to present a commercial deal with Microsoft, who had originally been touted as among the candidates to buy naming rights for the stadium. “We’ll call it Ipic Bernabéu or whatever they want … or Cepsa Bernabéu,” Pérez said.

 

Now AS reports that the stadium will be called the Abu Dhabi Bernabéu after Ipic was rejected as a name. Whether that is the final decision remains to be seen but its days of being just the Santiago Bernabéu are numbered.

 

Meanwhile Cristiano Ronaldo has been suspended from Real Madrid’s next two matches after kicking an opponent in last weekend’s La Liga game against Córdoba. He will miss home games against Real Sociedad on Saturday and Sevilla on 4 Feburuary. He will return for the derby at Atlético Madrid on 7 February.

Doesn't seem right to me.

FFP is pointless. with all the deals everyone will have just as much to spend as before!

 

maybe fifa/uefa just want more sponsors and business's involved in the sport and its not hard to imagine why!

Maybe fans and players should harden the f**k up and stop whinging about referee's bad decisions on their stupid mistakes.

Maybe the ref thinks that Wes Brown fouled Falcao too so that is why he sent him off. BUT if he does think that Wes Brown has fouled Falcao then he has got that wrong too. Wes Brown never fouled Falcao at any point.

 

So these are the decisions that the ref may have got wrong here.

 

1 ) Sending the wrong man off.

2 ) Giving the penalty to Man United when Wes Brown never fouled anyone

3 ) Failing to see that John O'shea was the one that fouled Falcao.

 

He has definitely made a cock up here.

 

I don't think they are cracking, i think they have already cracked. Their decisions aren't even making sense.

If people don't say anything then nothing will change.

Hardening up is all good and proper but how are teams supposed to win football matches when the referees are so poor? They're getting simple decisions completely wrong and it's not just on odd occasions. Our team has been at the brunt of it infact I'd go as far as to say we've been screwed over too many times already this season. It doesn't help when the officials can't even admit to their mistakes and that the FA backup these idiotic decisions.

All we're asking for consistency and fairness, is there anything wrong with that?

I'd rather the competition was effectively refereed than have the weekly catalogue of errors and omissions we have now. The title winners, CL places and relegation are all affected by poor refereeing. It's no longer good enough to say they even out over the season, not when the highly expensive TV coverage continually highlights the failings and shortcomings of the officials.  Whether it's Chelsea or not, it's beginning to feel like a bit of a lottery because you just can't tell what the next important and incorrect decision will be.  I think as paying customers of the Premier League we have a right to complain.

That's all very well and good but we all have the right to complain when blatent poor/wrong decisions are being given on a weekly basis. I think most people would rather referees be competent and fair than finding themselves 'whinging' about them all the time.

Stupidest post ever!

Be interesting to see what happens to Figueroa after the latest horror challenge. Almost identical to the 'Barnes' one, in that its a follow through, if the FA  had hit hard on the 'Matic incident' the second one that did cause injury is less likely to happen. The standards this year of the officials has been atrocious we all want competent referees who just do their job.

He's become a troll

I actually agree, the beauty of football is that it isn't a stop-start mess like inferior sports such as American football and tennis, I don't want five-minute gaps which will ultimately be for adverts because we're looking at video appeals. sh*t refereeing is almost part of the tradition of the game, it adds a certain charm to it (and it gives us something to moan about afterwards), plus it makes good referees all the more valuable.

Did motd even mention that elbow? I had it on but wasn't really watching. No mention on sky though.

Jedinak's? It was mentioned in Sky Redknapp highlighted it afterwards

Plokkers, while I agree that the odd mistake adds to the spectacle, this season the refereeing has been awful, and is affecting the outcome of far too many games.

For Sydney to say what he did shows he either

a, doesn't care about the integrity of the game

b, he's just being a troll for the sake of it

To be honest I completely understand your point of view, it is incredibly frustrating being foiled by incompetent officiating and I can see why someone might want the system to change. I'm just a bit of a purist (or a Luddite) in this regard and don't want the flow of football matches to be interrupted. If bad officiating is the consequence of that then so be it.

 

For what it's worth I think SydneyChelsea is a quality poster who is probably just sick of us all whinging!
