Unbelievable

[bocadillo]

We have a player sent off and a penalty awarded against us - a penalty and red card that arguably cost us the game. The FA agree that the player shouldn't have been sent off and rescind the red card. The TV pictures show it wasn't even a foul. But the club get fined £3000 because the players made a bit of a fuss about it at the time.

Unbelievable!

The F.A. is an ass.

Exactly the reason why the players or fans don't respect ref's, the referee's association and the FA. The decision was wrong on 3 counts, the players had a moan and are punished. Awful stuff to protect poor ref's.

 

[Biff]

Surely the £3000 will be rescinded.........

 

[fludie]

Thats crazy, i could even see it was not a foul at all from my seat in the crowd. Stupid feckers!!!

So do you think players should be allowed to do what they want when the ref makes a bad decision?

It's right that the FA should be clamping down on the way players confront refs all the time, they should do it more often, it's getting out of hand.

If they sorted the ****ing refs out, they wouldn't need to be confronted.

If refs were shown more respect, more people might want to do the job and standards would improve. Who in their right mind would want to be a ref these days?

People, refs included, tend to get the respect they deserve. It's pretty clear to me that this bloke deserved none at all.

Human nature to complain against a decision that is blatently obvious, human nature is something that is impossible to irradicate from football.

They manage it OK in other sports, why should football be different?

In terms of pace and largely as a result of the better imported players in the premiership, there has been an improvement in the technical standard of the football.

Over the many years I have been watching, there has been no discernable improvement in refereeing standards. I have a general view that once upon a time the standard of English refs was better than continental refs. Nowadays, when the odd English ref gets to officiate in a top competition, it tends to end in embarrassment.

I think the FA and Hackett and the Refs Association are failing in as much as they usually implicitely defend with silence the indefensible when refs constantly bottle out from giving key decisions against the big club playing at home - it's not so long ago that it seemed that the tacit agreement at Old Traford was to extend added time until Man U scored. Also once a player of one side is red carded - you can almost hear the ref's brain ticking away as to how he can even things up. If a major mistake is made then again the ref will try to even it up. If a side gets one marginal penalty it seems from that point on that a player's leg would have to be sythed off for that side to get another one.

Obviously i am indulging in extreme generalisation but overall the referreing standards are very poor.

Bigger rewards when they win?


But then you knew that already.

I believe that the actions of the players was poor, but i also beieve that there actions were vindicated by the referees decision to overturn the red card.
If however the red card had stood and kisnorbo had actualy commited a bad tackle, the book should have been thrown at all of the players not there actual club.

If you see a massive decision go against you that you know for a FACT was incorrect you would not be able to hold back, if you casn then i would question your motivation, loyalty and desire to win.

You can have desire to win without losing your self control.

May i remind you that we are in a very precarious league possition, every single point matters, and every single horrifically bad decision matters.

When your fighting like we are, seeing such a pathetic decision given against you would make it very hard for any truely competitive sportsmen to walk away.

It's not only this game i know, but that sending off could have cost us points that could have sent us down.

Let us not forget that the FA need to recover the money they will lose out on by us not playing in the euro's.
