petcharlie   10 #1 Posted October 25, 2017 Carlos has had a go at the standard of refs and I have to agree with him.There seems to be more bad ones than good.Also the consistencies of refs decisions are just not working.I understand it is not the easiest of jobs and you can only make decisions on things you actually see and it is not all ways possible to see everything.What decisions are made during a game by the man in black seem to deviate from ref to ref and from week to week.Dare I say they do seem to lean towards the big six teams in the land with their decisions compared to the smaller clubs.So yes Carlos I think you have a valid point the standards just are not good enough .

redbig   10 #4 Posted October 26, 2017 Been some poor decisions. But to focus on them as the reason we're losing is wide of the mark. It gives Carlos a get out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

top4718 Â Â 838 #7 Posted October 26, 2017 I've asked a question many times but never got to the bottom of it - Â Years ago when refs mostly wore black ("who's the ******* in the black") they were largely amatures doing the job for a few bob for travelling expenses and whilst they made mistakes they were not too bad. Â Todays refs/linesman are fully paid professionals who I believe are managed by the same body but seem to be totally inept, the K Lee and G Hooper goals recently and the Keogh handball at derby last season were shocking decisions, with the money at stake in football why has making officials a professional job made the standards much worse??
