I've no idea about the premiership as I don't watch those games, but the standard of refereeing down in Leagues 1 & 2 is awful.
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?
