Prem Officiating Abomination Journal 24/25

[Ian Nacho]

The last two games really highlighted big team bias for me whether it's conscious or not. It's those 50/50 decisions that almost always go in the favour of the bigger team.

How can it be possibly stopped?..

Yeh it's like death by a thousand cuts: it's not huge glaring decisions, it's the little ones. A big 6 player falls over and the free kick is given almost every time.

Michael Oliver and his love of Man City the way he was all over them shaking hands having a laugh with them you know that every time one of the Man City Players fell over he’d give a free kick to them, along with them fouling our players they got away with so much he only gave 1 yellow card but should have given out a few more to them especially when Soumare was taken out injured and nearly had his shirt ripped off by Foden, not forgetting when pacing ten yards for a Man City free kick it was more like 10 yds and a couple extra for them. 

 

This big Six biased Bull💩is frustrating each week a different ref same biased 💩it’s criminal the decisions they dish out to kiss the Big Six Ar5es, we have the best football league in the world but we have the Worst damn officials in the world and as for VAR can they please sort out this incompetence get in ex players to help judge scenarios and decisions and get someone in who can draw a fuching straight line and in the right angle to show if someone is offside or Not !!

The failure to give a second penalty today. 

[Chelmofox]

My imagination, not a single yellow card today? Couldn't see shit so there were probably about 10.

[Bezzanator89]

Another abomination. 

VAR would have given that second penalty.

Terrible decision. Thought he let too much go today.

[Vlad the Fox]

He had spells where he wouldn’t give anything, particularly after Vardy’s second penalty shout and then periods where he’d give anything and everything.

[Vlad the Fox]

Was nice not having var slowing the game down. I think it must have been about a minute from Vardy’s penalty being given and him converting. 

[Ian Nacho]

He was absolutely appalling yesterday. Zero consistency. Makes you realise the state of officiating in this country when you get given an EFL ref.

I thought the same thing. Gave them a hell of a lot of innocuous ones, whereas one of our lads needed to have been a GBH victim to get any sort of decision. 

[fazzyfox]

Also noticed the immediate flags for offside rather than seeing the move out before flagging, it really keeps the flow and rhythm of the game. An offside is accidental by the attacking player, not a real offence so there’s no need for it to be a major stoppage (Arsenal try and fit a water break in), just put the ball down and take the free kick.

Lose 2-0 and we can’t even moan about the ref tonight

I can. Blowing full time one second early.

Got the vast majority right. Did miss a foul on Muñoz first half, could've carded their keeper for wasting time.

 

Decent to be fair.

Can the Fa please remind all officials what the Shoulder Charge Law is?

 

A shoulder charge in football is when a player runs into an opponent using their shoulder or upper arm to make contact. It's a challenge for space, and it's only allowed within playing distance of the ball. 

 

Rules 

 

• The charge must be shoulder to shoulder. 

• The player can't charge from behind or into the chest. 

• The player can't use excessive force. 

• The player can't be careless or reckless. 

• The player's arms must be kept close to their body. 

Examples

• A player might be sent off for a shoulder charge if they knock an opponent off their feet. 
   

• A player might be penalized for a shoulder charge if it's careless, reckless, or made with excessive force.

Proper shite

 

Not seen the replays but seemed like there were decent penalty shouts in both halves that seemingly didn't get looked at?

There’s a half hour interview with Coote on YouTube. Haven’t got the time to watch it right now - amongst what’s happened I genuinely hope his mental state is getting better.

Wasn't even a free kick and the lino is fvcking blind

 

Literally a perfect offside trap

 

Edited 7 February by moore_94

[StanSP]

Lino gave a blatant throw that was ours to them as well 

 

Clearly on the take. 

[Corky]

Did he think VAR was available? That is staggering.

Infuriating

[niyaminski]

Feels like it’s always us.

 

Honestly I think they’ve accidentally done us a favour. It’s good that we’re out the cup and not having to play an extra 30.

 

But my days the officiating in this country is woeful.

[Spiritwalker]

Thought the ref was decent, that linesman was shocking.
