It seems very rare that a game result isn't influenced by an absolutely shocking decision - often one that most of the crowd see but the officials don't.
Has the standard really dropped over the years, or are we more aware of the gameplay and have a clearer view from block G row 37?  |
Its actually rotten from the top down. The Premier League has gradually gotten worse over the years. This year was shocking for refereeing decisions. The FA literally do nothing. In some scenarios they might as well be encouraging it by refusing to comment or take action on it.

5 years ago we were being told to lay off referees and avoid over-criticising. That's happened. However it's now reached the point where we're just ignoring how bad its getting. At least then it was debated weekly/monthly. Now it's slipping towards becoming acceptable.
