Good grief you would have thought the Sky Sports pundits were experts on football the way they are talking like they know more then Pep Guardiola.:rolleyes:

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Well that was bracing to say the least. Good to go to a lower league game for a change, Latics much the better side but no cutting edge. Only one good chance the whole game but decent standard of football al the same.

Absolutely shocking sending off decision at West Ham.:rolleyes:

Ridiculous, typical Fusspot Mike Dean, can see him trying to even things up later. :(

Re: Football Season 2016/2017

Good grief Mike Dean seems to do it in threes.:td::(

It just gets worse, Zlatan well offside, I suppose he will say he deserves a bit of luck after Saturday but the quality of officiating is getting worse. They surely have to bring in video playback ASAP.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Yes they certainly have to do something Jim as it can't go on like this.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Well I will always take a win, but that felt so unsatisfactory. :(

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

A win is a win as you say as beggars can't be choosers.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Not sure about beggars, more 'swings and roundabouts' :)

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

I have said all along that he Refs, in the PL need a total revamp. Dean was terrible today. He had to opportunity to send off another player in the second half for a 'similar 'incident that had the red card in the first half.

The second goal for United was offside, and the amount of shirt pulling, wasn't even picked up by the linesman. And he was within sight.

I think that officials have been told by there so called Joke company, mis the silly incidents. And give cards, when they indent is on Tv.

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

Erm, how did you see the silly incidents then Arthur, unless of course they were on TV or you attended the game?

Re: Football Season 2016/2017
 

I didn't attend the game. But the incidents were caught on TV. And l used to be a referee.

The officials were terrible. Its like the Arsenal game, when the ball was definitely over the line. An Cech was complaining that it was on the line.

I have been a fan/ref for many years, and only quit reffing about four years ago.

Silly Incidents like pulling the shirts, or grabbing the player in the box. This should be classed as a penalty. And when you elbow the player in the neck, or 'studding' a player, this should have been seen by the linesman. But never given.

This happens in many games, but not given in them.

Instead of whistle blowing EVERY foul, let the game flow. The rules of the game, as now been made silly. Diving for a foul, should be a card.

This is what l am saying about 'silly incidents'

Nice to see Arsenal showing their very reliable title winning form.;):D

A great watch for the neutrals.
