John Moss unfit to ref?

[adam]

I just don't no how he gets away with piss poor performances every week. Absolutely steeling a living.

Honestly, anyone who was with me in that away end at the City Ground in 2011 will agree with me that it is totally irrelevant what he has done in his career after that - he should be hung, drawn and quartered - but not made to eat faeces because we are a merciful group of fans who think people should be treated fairly.

You been sniffing bugle pal?

Has anyone ever watched a Premier League game, got through the entire thing then realised that Jon Moss was the ref, but you didn't notice because he has a quiet game?

 

No.

 

Which is exactly the problem. I don't even know what some refs like, say, Roger East, even look like, because they've never dropped an absolutely massive clanger to stick in the memory. Moss has to be the centre of attention in every game he refs, which is an appalling way to ref the game. He never should have got out the championship, and his continued presence is a stark warning that it can only be a matter of time until Darren Deadman, Gavin Ward and Bobby Madley's brother (holy shit there's two of them, one was already too many) start stinking out the Premier League too.

BBC match stats  has a foul count of us 19 Man Utd 8.....Enough said about his bias ???

[Vlad the Fox]

It was all part of his game plan. 

[Guest Col city fan]

It's no surprise really that there is a general lack of respect for referees when this clown is apparently a 'Premiership standard' ref. He's a truly terrible specimen.

Stringer was saying something after the game, can't remember what now (Emotions were running high - Angry with Moss/Happy with equaliser) but was basically sticking up for referees in a way and alluded to something similar - Defending referees, and it added to my anger even more by reminding me about Clattenburg's comment's the other week.

 

This is what Clattenburg has done.

 

He's made me question every simple refereeing decision, he's bought the game into disrepute, I can't believe more wasn't made of it, I can't believe there wasn't an enquiry into him, his comments and other referees.

[Jattdogg]

Con Moss would make a fantastic fifa president.

[FoyleFox]

I can't believe that's even a question! No, simple as...

He's auditioning for the World Cup

[Dan]

Jon Moss is an absolute indefensible disgrace of a ref. Anyone who watched that game and thought he was impartial has got a tough life ahead of them. He's totally out of his depth yet knowing the FA we'll probably send the bastard to the World Cup.

[mozartfox]

Moss of 'Moss Side' is not fit to be called a 'Bell-end'.  He must have some negatives of some big-wigs at the F.A. mounting a Donkey.

[Livid]

I'll be kind and just say he's very poor, but I'm reigning it in. I used the "C" word to describe him last night and I hate that word.

 

I would say it's his style of refereeing, but in the majority of games he only seems to apply it to one side. Like Atkinson he's too quick to give out the first yellow, and then doesn't hesitate to hand out a second.

 

He's bottom of the pile and literally unfit.

Just Google "jon moss hate" and see what comes up, every set of fans hate him

Did he HONESTLY do much wrong today?

 

Red card absolutely no question it was a red card.

 

The Rashford incident looked like a penalty at the time but on closer inspection kasper actually got a hand on the ball and pushed it onto rashfords shin. It was actually an excellent decision and not a dive. Whether by luck or judgement.

 

Smalling jumped with maguire possibly with his arms around him, but i dont think many refs would have given it personally. Debateable.

 

Mahrez DID dive. It wasnt in the box but Hererra drew his foot away. So that was a correct decision but outside the box.

 

Problem for john moss is he has a reputation and nothing he can do will shake that off now. Its like the scapegoat player, his performance is prejudiced by the past.

In all honesty he got 75% of his decisions wrong for both sides but definitely favoured them. Personally I thought Rashford thratrically fell to the floor after a perfectly good piece of play by Kaspar thus trying to con the ref. He could easily have stayed on his feet. The first Amartey foul isn't a yellow for me in fact is there actually any contact? Agree that once he's given that then second foul is a second yellow. The Smalling foul on Maguire is a definite penalty. I can't even be bothered to catalogue all the other errros all over the pitch.

He was consistent in his inconsistency and general poor decision making.

 

He shouldn't be allowed to ref at this level ever again.

[ARTY_FOX]

It's unbelievable what he let pogba get away with in the first half. He was playing rugby and it only got blown up the odd occasion, most of the time with no difference to the one he'd been allowed to get away with. He's a joke.

Well no, he screwed the pooch with that. Once pogba had got to 60 minutes without a booking, that ceased to be a red card. By never booking pogba he'd made it clear that, while body checks and slight nudges were fouls, he was going to be lenient and allow you a fair few before carding. To then change immediately to automatic yellow regardless of offence count is taking the mick. To be right there, he had to do the same from minute one - in short, for amarteys red to be justified, pogba should have been sent off within the first ten minutes, given he was grabbing shoulders with every tackle.

TOTAL KNOB

[CosbehFox]

He’s actually unfit to do the job. The ball hit him at least three occasions and he slipped on his arse at one point. 

 

Hes certainly one of those refs if one team has a word with him, he holds it against them for the duration of the fixture. 

[Freeman's Wharfer]

The thing with Moss is that you can look at the big talking points from a game he's refereed (of which there are always some) and take incidents in isolation to say whether or not he's got them right. But that's not putting them in the context of the whole game.

 

Last night, you can look at the two Amartey cards and make a point for why they're bookings. But that doesn't account for the fact that he'd been on the pitch for about 10 minutes and that to give both of them and ultimately a red card is overly harsh. A better referee uses his discretion and, realising that he's given a harsh one just a couple of minutes before, has a word to say that any other discretion would result in the red.

 

Moss makes life difficult for himself because he gives the strictest possible sanction in any given situation. In the same regard when Vardy got his two yellows the first should have been, at worst, a free kick or a quiet word, but, because Moss had gone straight for the yellow, when he dived later Moss had given himself nowhere to go other than the red because of his earlier decision.

 

With him it's not even just the big calls. It's the little ones here and there that he gets wrong (e.g. Shinji being penalised for a perfectly good tackle on the halfway line last night) which cause frustration and anger which only intensify the pressure on the bigger calls that he has to make later.

 

Google his name or search Twitter and it's a nationwide opinion that he's a terrible referee yet he's allowed to continue. Why?

 

We've enough evidence from last night, Forest away a few years back and the West Ham match in the title-winning season to request that he never officiates us again. If Spurs can get Kevin Friend removed from the Stoke match just because he happens to live in Leicestershire then we should never have to suffer this pollock ever again.

 

The guy must be on first name terms with the stewards who have to escort him to the tunnel in our stadium after he's delivered yet another despicable performance.
