Sorry I'll rephrase the land that time forgot that's long since been forgotten ;)

Been to Hanley lately? is Wyatt Earp still in charge?

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

But we deserved to get something out of the match but the referee was a absolute homer in every decision he made.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I honestly think that some of the decisions by the referees need looking at, but there again, they will get away with it.

When is a penalty, not a penalty ?

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I like the idea of a review after the game, as mentioned on sky sports (credit to them, no copyright worries :D)

4 professionals, deciding if someone has dived, if they have, 4 game ban. That would stop diving, and give referees the confidence to give penalities. i think half the time they are struggling to guess if the player has dived or was fouled

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I believe, if a player dives - straight red.

I done a Sunday game a few years ago, and the player dived in the box and he was at least a foot away from the player, and l sent him off.

Diving is cheating, some players will look up and smile if they get the pen, The big problem is l have seen it loads of times over the last couple of season's, the worst offenders are Terry, Rooney and Nani, and the worst is if it happens at Old Trafford or Chelsea, nine times out of tens, if the players goes down in the box and its a dive. RED CARD.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

Absolutely agree with you. I actually think it is getting worse, and the diving is starting to get marks out of 10 for form..how best to throw yourself up in the air...sniper's bullet style. All that is missing is the judges holding the cards showing the marks :D

Half-time will be the only interesting part to watch, if Delia is on the booze. Woy could share Delia's booze... he needs it -no personality whatsoever

I think we should have Clive Thomas back as the head of referee's, he never put up any old crap from players.

Trouble is we have a head of referee's now that l think allows a lot to go, but will support his colleagues.

In the time l did it, l complaied bitterly to County FA and the FA in general, and l never got one reply, this respect lark is a load of crap, thats why l gave up the whistle.

But the game was marred by a sickening collision near the end of the match involving Mark Schwarzer and Junoir hollett.

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

I agree with this and posted a few weeks ago about how fed up I am with all the diving and cheating going on.

Saw one today where a player slide in for the ball that was out in the open, won it, then a player fell over his legs and the ref gae a free kick. What's the player meant to do after he won the ball, make his legs disappear ?

This needs to be done at FIFA \ UEFA level though. There's no point the FA being clean if we can go back to cheating when we play in Europe

Cleverley out for a month, no break, just ligament damage..:rolleyes:

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

He certainly didn't - but I think there was more respect to officials back then - oh and he's 76 now - surely deserves a retirement :)

Re: Football Season 2011/12
 

He was a great ref, l used to work for a company that he a director of, respect of officials today is poor, we had an incident over the weekend where a player from Liverpool, l think had a right old go at the lino.

And then we had the game yesterday with Webb, disallowed two blatant penalties and the one with the elbow in the face, definate pen, that the offical should have picked up - respect of officials, whats that,

What players don't realise is that WITHOUT officials there would not be a game.
