Wouldn't give Kovacic a second yellow for sliding through the back of Rice's ankle, because he didn't want to ruin the game...

And that ought to have been a straight red, with how things are hereabouts (Gomes).Quote:

Now for Ref Watch and listen to Dermot Gallagher spout *******s about how it's actually a red card.Quote:

Tide is definitely turning now, as more and more people start to inform us that it is in fact a horrific tackle and a nailed on red.Quote:

What is really interesting is our respective records in the domestic and european games. For some reason, once we escape PGMOL we seem to turn into angels. 1 red cards in 41 games under Arteta in europe. 19 in 195 games domestically.Quote:

He used to be, got worse as he now believes his own hype.Quote:

Are there any good referees in the Premier League?Quote:

If you want to stamp your authority on a game, or raise your quote of yellows for delaying restarts/time wasting/ tactical fouls then we are the best target. Book or red card an Arsenal player and most of the country will laugh, most will defend it. Even an outrageous decision like this one has around 30% of people believing it was correct and that number is rising.
Watch how City interact with referees. Constant charm offensive. They get refs onside by being pally, and then turn on them to call in a favour when it is needed. I think that explains why they get the benefit of the marginal calls.
Your point about Europe is spot on.Quote:

People generally quite liked us that season. Since then they have started to despise us. Hate to say it, but I can see why.Quote:
