Ref Watch

[dick dastardley]

Let's see if uefalona get a bye in this round like Madrid last night!!

Thought the ref was good in the Barca game.
No favours done. He just reffed a game fairly. Didn't fall for any antics by either team.

Just shows how ordinary Barca are when all things are equal.

Juve are a good old fashioned Italian team. They give nothing away and risked nothing that they didn't need to, going forward. Very well drilled.

Have we been assigned a ref for the Derby yet ?

got a strange feeling it will be that dick from Wythenshawe.

You know easy for transport and all that stuff

How will that work ? he's normally their twelfth man , so with honky konk out he will start up front, being a dubious shaved headed character . Can the rags survive fielding only 11 players ?

Martin Atkinson for the derby

Martin Atkinson for the derby

The same guy who didn't see two penalty offences in the same move against candlepool. We will get shafted by the officials once again i'm afraid and they are so blatant they do not try to hide anymore yesterday was proof of that.

Can anyone actually think of a ref that might be deemed 'good' ?

[gillie]

Can anyone actually think oh a ref that might be deemed 'good' ?

If anyone can he won't have been reffing in the prem or it could be that they are some good refs but they have to jump to their masters tune.

There must be one somewhere. Someone that can see when it is a real or fake tackle or dive.Kompany got carded against Chelsea for a legit tackle against Hazard i think who made a meal of a non challange.

I've always thought Swarbrick was competent at least.

The officiating on Thursday will reach new levels.
The press already have the headlines of how scum overtake Us and are back to rule the world. There is no way the ref will let us play football.
Just watch for them to kick the shit out us and not give anything, yet we will do a decent tackle and get yellowed for it.

It's going to be unbelievable and sickening

Martin Atkinson.

That's the cunt in the middle for thursday.

I thought his violin solo on Fairport Convention's 'Crazy Man Michael' was the epitome of understated brilliance..........

But seriously, they're all mindless lackeys of the grotesque PIG-MOB gravy train, so each and every one is as bent as a corkscrew.

The only way we'll ever escape from the grinding corruption and endless bias against us, would be if the Sheikh were to set up some sort of European Super League and, in so doing, completely outflank Sky, UEFA, the PL, the FA, the media and PIG-MOB.

Not being a fan of the CL, I wouldn't find this either a palatable, or acceptable solution.

Martin keep playing until the rags score Atkinson to give him his full title.

I think if we have a shocking time from the ref in this game then the players should surround the ref and cause fuckign mayhem.....its the only way to get the message across to these cunts in PIGMOL.

Sadly Carl. as much as I'd love to agree with you, It would only serve to ultimately make matters worse for us by giving those corrupt authorities yet another chance to use their corrupt power punish us severely.
We could afford whatever fine they chucked at us but long term individual player bans that would follow could hurt us badly.

This issue must be driving our owners and administrators as nuts as it is us. As bad as we feel, Pep must be ripping his skull apart watching his and his players' hard work all week being shoved down his throat each and every game by some no mark twats with a whistle and flags,knowing that you are unable to complain without sanction or threat of a ban.

God knows how the players feel, it's they that feel the pain game after game, getting kicked, stamped on, elbowed in the face with no protection whatsoever.

Just get Bravo to call the ref a cunt. He gets banned and Willy is back. Everyone's a winner.

As I said before, all of the above would be bad enough on its own, but to then have the media highlight the smaller issues in the match and then proceed to berate the players and managers so that the wheel just keeps spinning is far worse.

Without one, the other wouldn't be nearly as powerful, but together they're just too strong. VAR is my last hope, but after the Spurs debacle there was no doubt left in my mind that we need all the help technology can give us at this stage. It's been building to the absolute state it's in for over 5 years now and the game for me is dying on its feet, so there's nothing to lose with VAR.

As fans in the ground we need to make it uncomfortable for refs to give shit decisions and we don't really
