Referee (25 Viewers)

[Adge]

Yeah, when did these players disrespect you though as I thought you did the MJPL and Midlands Prem? Have you sharply risen up the ladder?

Yep-still do as well as other accredited leagues which are a good standard. Come back when you are on a par and I can take you seriously, then we can have a proper discussion.

I’d say it’s a very poor standard to be official, especially with a lack of referees unlike the competitiveness of becoming a professional footballer but fair play to you for doing it!

It’s not very poor standard it’s county level on a Saturday not that he needs me to back him up

 

[Chris1987]

We can all have our gripes with refs but unless you've reffed yourself I'm afraid you haven't got a clue how difficult it is. PL has been made easier with VAR (!) but how are refs supposed to actually officiate the game via the application of the laws when players are constantly diving and cheating ?
Those that criticise refs try it yourself

Sure for someone like yourself Pete. I think the person in question has higher standards however and it’s only fair judge to him by them - players half a dozen leagues higher have previously been described as dregs by himself.

Now the 9th tier is a good standard!

Referees have never been the most consistent

Academy level (including Coventry City) a poor standard? Hmm, maybe you’re right. Come to think of it, one of the players who was in the Academy team we regularly officiated still can’t take a corner…………..

Yes I remember you saying you thought his mate was better! Is he still in the game?

And just for future reference, the 9th tier is a “good” standard to officiate/play at?

Would you not say Racing Club Warwick-Coventry Sphinx-Atherstone Town-Hinckley-Worcester City et al is not a good (reasonable) standard for players and or officials?

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Would you not say Racing Club Warwick-Coventry Sphinx-Atherstone Town-Hinckley-Worcester City et al is not a good (reasonable) standard for players and or officials?

Yeah I would. I think you’ve called players who play much, much higher than that dregs though in the past?

So one minute you question and point the finger at “the 9th tier”
Your next response is yourself agreeing it’s a good (reasonable) standard for players and officials?

Think we’ll leave it there………..

Wow okay! Goodness knows what superlatives you would use to describe Lee Burge then, six leagues higher.

Has he? Trying to make his point and loads his gun based on professionals (which is their occupation) against Amateurs (including myself-some who do it as a hobby) which again is silly.

Oh don’t get him started on Burge of all players

just kidding @Adge

Most referees outside of the top flight are not professional. Hope this helps

Yep-Dregs. Please see team that got relegated to L2 for further information.

 

[Nick]

The one at the weekend been demoted?

If in doubt-play on words, or alternatively move the goal posts.

Most outside of the top flight isn’t one league? Do you know what most means?

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

If you take ‘professional’ to mean paid for their work, even those refereeing under 8 matches fit the definition.

 

[Adge]

Depends how far down the leagues/non league you would like to go. So move the goalposts to suit your narrative.
Most people would assume when talking about referees you are talking about the Prem and EFL? Your “most” would then be half of all Referees being professional………
Do you know what half means?

I said outside of the top flight. Most are not professional (their full time occupation). This is a fact.

You’ve had a shocker, rest up for that good standard game.

Quality! Best check your “facts” next time before you sell yourself down the river and make yourself look silly.
And remember “You’ll never be criticised by somebody who is doing more than you. You will always be criticized by somebody doing less”

 

[We'll_live_and_die]

I can't believe we have Anthony Taylor today. He wrongly awarded a penalty last week despite having VAR, so his punishment is to drop down a league and officiate a match with no VAR.

Seems crazy to me

He's an absolutely fantastic ref. Probably the 2nd best around.

A) In real time, from his angle, it looked a definite penalty
B) There is contact, despite how weak.
C) It is up to VAR to correct that or suggest review. Gillet on VAR didn't even suggest Taylor have another look.
D) I don't know the reason he is refereeing in the Championship today but he hasn't been demoted/punished that is fact. I suspect as PNE have made complaints about the refereeing recently this is to appease them.

You have had a shocker, maybe they'll bring VAR in to other aspects of refs lives.

 

[pusbccfc]

Another one. Pathetic.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Premier League quality apparently. Not on that evidence

We're getting quite a collection now. Robins has to come out and say something.

Slipped over. It happens often.

Slips over and grabs shirt? Doesn’t happen often. Stop making excuses. Just not good enough.
