Thought About Referees

[morris1234]

Now i dont usually do this but im bored! but ive recently watched a lot of football on tv and have gone out my way to do so, as you know, because the season has ended and have been thinking about referees especially in the recent internationals.

Now when you get a foreign referee and foreign technical sides such as brazil etc (or in englands case U.S.A, i know they were average but they are a techincal side compared to ours) you sort of accept and expect that the referee will adapt to that sort of style of play. What i mean by this is that teams like brazil are not as physical in games and go down (in the famous john barbers words ) like they were picked off by a sniper, and obviously their players play similar for their clubs.

Now when somebody is refereeing a match involving these sides, like i said, they wrongly adapt by giving away wayyyyyyyyyyy too many cheap free-kicks even though the referees where told to clamp down on diving etc and its not an official law to give more, so if the referee understands a team is not as physical and decides to give away free-kicks where in another league or competition it wouldnt a foul surely then the rules need to be changed! You dont see them making special exceptions to more physical sides such as england, scotland etc by allowing more free play! especially when a physical team will play a more techical side( e.g. england v brazil), see who gets protected more by the referee!

now i know all referees are different ETC ETC ETC and i know referees will always be a talking point in football but sorry it does my nut in! Its like when a ref gives a penalty because a certain team is at home when if it were the same situation but away then they would have not recieved it! i know this isnt provoked by any bad decisions in recent matches but i just watched a bit of the ireland - colombia match and f**k me, most of the colmobians are double the size of the irish and they are proffesional athletes in peak condition that decide 'im not going to look bad by losing the ball, i know ill fall over and roll around a bit'

discuss!? ahahah

Can you edited and put some paragraphs in as it's totally unreadable as it stands.
