stivesfox Posted 13 May 2010 Posted 13 May 2010 To late now to change decisions however not to let to air your grievances to the football league over these show pony referees, I wrote to the football league, and feel both Wiley and Webb should be hauled over the coals for the poor performances in these two games and most certainly the assistant referee over the far side of the pitch last night who was frankly shocking. Here was there response be good to hear if anyone else contacts them. ..................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................... Dear David, Thank you for your email. We receive numerous queries and complaints regarding individual referee's decisions and their overall performance. Although we are unable to respond on each individual incident, we can advise that the performances of all officials are constantly monitored by way of club and assessor reports, the match video or DVD and, at some grounds, the Prozone statistics. The match is also analysed by the Referees' Manager, a referees’ coach and the referee and, despite the perception of some, match officials are most accountable for their performance. Referees make their decision based on years of training and experience and what they see at that moment in time, from a position different from anyone else in the ground - he can only act on what he sees, assisted by the other match officials and not everyone will agree with the decisions he takes. Contrary to expectations, the Referees' Manager will not attempt to support a referee out of sheer loyalty. It is his responsibility through Professional Game Match Officials to identify training needs of not only individual referees but also of all National Group officials. The Manager also works with his group in a bid to constantly improve standards in a game which has become faster and more frenetic over recent years. Every match is recorded and referees are under closer scrutiny than ever before. We trust that this highlights to you the procedures in place designed to improve performances and thank you for contacting us with your comments.

Shrenchel Posted 13 May 2010 Posted 13 May 2010 Fvck me, give it up. Neither of them had a good game but it was nowhere near the worst refereeing I've seen this season. If every referee that got a few decisions wrong got 'hauled over the coals' then there'd be no cvnt left to officiate any matches. I somehow doubt you would have wasted your own time writing a letter of complaint if we'd dicked them in the shoot-out.
