I’ve been referring for 10 years & I thought I’d seen it all … Today I had to Abandon my youth game after being assaulted on the pitch leaving marks on my chest from a punch & shove ! Very shaken from it tbh& we are expected as officials to stay calm & composed in that moment …

@BenGrahamUK When was the last time you went to church? Are you a regular member of a congregation? What does a ‘Christian country’ mean? Do you go to church on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday & Easter Sunday? Or do you just eat chocolate & get ‘offended’ when it doesn’t say ‘Easter?’
English
Britain has been a Christian nation for over 1,400 years.
Through wars, plagues, and countless kings, Easter has always been celebrated.
Yet now, Cadbury won’t even use the word ‘Easter’ on their eggs.
When did celebrating British traditions become controversial?

@DorkingWDRS Good to see a manager admit that the referee was correct to send him off. The appeal will have zero chance of success. But at least he’s managed to deflect his team’s poor performance onto the referee, eh?

@CharlieStfcc @refsupportuk @Arsenal @ManCity Charlie, with a ‘suicide’ awareness post as his pinned Tweet; talking about people’s mental health, then continues to abuse people on social media. Don’t be like Charlie.

Over 400 people liked this post not realising he is 4th official at Wembley Stadium for the Carabao Cup, @Arsenal v @ManCity 😆😆😆😱🤦♂️🤦♂️

Thomas Bramall has been given the weekend off. No Premier League or EFL fixture for the referee who sent off Leeds United's Gabriel Gudmundsson last weekend👇 #LUFC yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/football…

@terrychristian You’re better than this Terry. The clubs are complaining because they want to deflect from their own failings. The two challenges were not ‘exactly the same’, despite what Andy Cole would have you believe. Everything’s ‘disgraceful’ when it comes to a referee…
English
it's disgraceful that the game wasn't stopped to let V.A.R check . Especially considering that a margin of 2 points dropped at the end of the season could cost the club upwards of 20 million quid plus the rest

Manchester United set to make a formal complaint today to PGMOL after the failure to award a second penalty in last night’s draw with Bournemouth. Club will argue Amad was clearly wrestled to ground with no attempt to play the ball. Manchester United are angry at what they perceive to be a clear VAR error. It is also noted similar penalty incidents were treated differently in the same game leading to Harry Maguire being sent off. #MUFC also unhappy with nine minutes of added time being played in the game.
English
@terryflewers I think the decisions were right on balance. The crying is just deflection as to why United played badly so the referee gets blamed and not Carrick or Maguire.
English
Jamie Redknapp is killing football, this decision will be defended in the media. Its a disgrace!
English
@henrywinter Another post with cries of ‘we need more refs at grassroots’ with out even looking at why there aren’t enough. Easy to say in a Tweet without thinking it through. And zero accountability for cheating players but 100% blame for the referees. Henry, you’re part of the problem
English
Decisions, decisions. Amad Diallo was a penalty. That gets given as a free-kick anywhere else on the pitch. It’s even more a penalty than the Matheus Cunha penalty (which was a pen, however “soft”). Amad was just less theatrical. Penalty not given. Wrong decision. Harry Maguire was a penalty and red card. DOGSO. Penalty and red card given. Correct decision.
Understandable debate over the decisions and inevitable frustration for Manchester United. But United have benefited from decisions that go their way this season. All clubs have these issues, examples, frustrations. The main issue here is …
1) General standard of officiating in the Premier League. Amad decision was poor. Even more investment required in grass-roots refereeing, in fast-tracking talent, in training up academy graduates who don’t make it as pros, and in continued work to improve further the Select Group refs. PL has some good officials. Just need more.
2) Football belongs to fans, not officials. Fans deserve to know what is going on in real time. When decision/incident being discussed by officials, audio should be played live. The authorities don’t want to, feel it places too much pressure on officials so content themselves with brief explanation when announcing decision and clarification on PL Match Centre. Fans in the stadium and tuning in pay a lot for tickets and subscriptions, respectively, and shouldn’t be kept in the dark.
Audio works well in rugby union and cricket (and acknowledging those sports have more pauses in play). l went to a VAR demonstration (not PL) earlier this week given by an elite official. Hearing the audio between officials gave insight into the process - and respect for what they are dealing with at speed, especially with players trying to con them.
You are never going to get complete consistency over decisions. There’s always going to be an element of subjectivity with so many incidents. But fans deserve more transparency and accountability. It might restore some trust. #BOUMUN

@DarrenArsenal1 The journalistic standards have really fallen. This is embarrassing for SKY, yet they still promote. They’d be better with David Brent asking the questions…

@SkySportsNews Embarrassing questions. A desperate journo trying to get clicks and create something ridiculous. Surely SKY have better standards than this? This is like watching David Brent interviewing Pep

@1882_Tottenham Arteta is living in your head. It’s hilarious how Spurs fans always deflect because their own team is so so bad

Just a reminder Arteta called a PL referee a disgrace continually after a Newcastle game and received no consequence 👌

BREAKING: Tottenham Hotspur’s Igor Tudor has been charged with misconduct following comments that he made after their game against Fulham on Sunday 1 March in the Premier League 🚨

@grassrootsrefJa The league need to get on top of this gamesmanship. It’s easy to fix but they need to have the desire to do so.
English
@101Referee If he moves then he just gets accused of being weak and letting Chelsea do what they want. The only people looking silly in this are the Chelsea players and the Chelsea manager with his comments about it.
English
As usual Jay Bothroyd talking rubbish, why should Paul Tierney move for the players? The players create the issue by surrounding Paul Tierney so they are the problem not him.

"Why does he have to stand there?!" 😳 The Ref Watch panel react to Paul Tierney's decision to stand in the middle of Chelsea's centre circle huddle ⚽️

@kane_richards10 @Bmunn93 Show is a video of your whole performance and then we’ll see who needs investigating. I bet you made some terrible passes and mistakes during the game. And what on earth are you hoping to investigate? The intellectual level of your comment is off the chart - in the wrong way!
English
These refa are getting worse, can someone please explain how this is a second booking. Apparently the ref saw me kick him off the ball 🤔

@The_Forty_Four How about some punctuation in your Tweets so they make sense?

@GoonerTaIk @o00007001566813 Educate us - which ‘letter of the law’ are you talking about out?
English
@o00007001566813 By the letter of the law it should’ve been. We had 13 players on the pitch as it went in. Fair play to VAR for not being cunts.
English
@HACKETTREF Keith, you’re wrong. It’s a penalty. Look at the reverse video. Come on, you’re better than this….at least you should
English
@Spurspapers Haha - my God, the delusion. What about the red card for VdV that wasn’t given. Spurs; the gift that keeps on giving!
English
Am I crazy to think without those 3 slips that was a decent Spurs performance. Essentially it’s 2-2 and without the drama of the 3 mistakes we could have actually won it. We had same shots as Atletico and only marginally less position. 1.41 Xg away in Europe.
English
@WhiteHorseFinal @billyw27 @thecountycorner If fans actually took their anger / frustrations out on the players who commit the fouls, and who constantly try to cheat and con the ref, rather than the referee, and try to show just a little understanding of refereeing, then people might actually take you seriously.
English
@billyw27 @101Referee @thecountycorner If these ref accounts stopped defending the indefensible people might actually respect them.
English
@CW_Designs1 @IpswichTown 😂 - it was a penalty. Right call. Maybe you should take your anger out on the player who let your team down on the 96th minute. And why would it be corrupt? Who would want Ipswich to lose over Stoke? Hilarious take
English
@IpswichTown WTAF fucking corrupt!!!!!!!!!!!!! A fucking joke just everything is fuck Ipswich isn’t it so fucking corrupt it just keeps happening every fucking game contact and they give it to the opposition and never anything to us something has got to change
