If memory serves a Forest player was retrospectively sent off for doing similar to O’Hare in 21/22

It’s ok it’s a justice kind of thing really winds me up people not owning what they do
At the very least one of our beasts should have gone over and saud they’d seen it and he should watch himself the rest of the game
Absolute wanker coward
You definitely want a bell end like that to get some comeuppance!

Someone said it earlier in the thread, but the problem is largely that they are picking referees from a tiny pool of people. If you don't cast the net wide enough you end up with fucking idiots refereeing championship games

Part of the reason that people don't want to begin refereeing is the dogs abuse and lack of protection they get at lower league games. There's not a chance I'd put myself in a position where I'm getting called every name under the sun, threatened and blamed for £50 plus mileage.

The solution I think is to take all referees for professional English football and make them full time, pay them £50/60k a year - so that it's a viable and attractive career.

This next bit is anecdotal and I don't know if its true, but I play cricket with a lad who is refereeing at step 6 currently and on a fast track course. Apparently they never demote a referee, so the bloke yesterday won't see repercussions for a bad game. He will remain a championship level referee, because they worry about the implications of sending somebody down to league 1 etc.

If that's true, then again, it's no wonder they're fucking useless.

Ref was terrible, I agree with that. But am I missing something with that Sakamoto one? I can’t see an elbow. Looks like he’s body checked him then pushed him to the floor in one movement.

Did you see the second video? I mean I'm with you initial contact looks like shoulder then he pushes him to the ground... in the face... with his elbow...

Should be like a drivers licence. First offence you get a reeducation course, after that points and if you get too many points you’re banned and can start again down the bottom.

"Can you see that foul from 20metres away?"

Would they get abuse if they weren't so shit?

How many players in their 20s end up getting released and not making it? Wonder if they've ever considered training up some of those and fast tracking them to EFL level as they already know the game. With all the money in the game it shouldn't be impossible to have half decent officials occasionally

Imagining the Referee’s Association representative turning up Men in Black style outside training grounds cornering dejected young footballers.

“How would you like revenge on those they kept on, son?”

I’m sure in one of the women’s games the other day they said the ref was playing in the World Cup 8 years ago. I’m guessing the girls are doing it. Think it would be a good idea, personally.

Been saying for ages part of their scholarship should be a referring qualification. Would give them a much better understanding of the rules and the pressure.

So much effort is put into getting kids to think about coaching etc a a fallback, but almost nothing on reffing.

There's no excuse for missing that challenge on sakamoto, it was an arm to the face on purpose. He didn't even want to give a foul for it as he was too busy thinking about how he can give Swansea their next free kick.

It should be looked at with a retrospective red card as he wasn't booked.

You do get sanctioned but not demoted and as a lot is subjective you’d be surprised by what is judged as bad

For instance to prove the bollox from the old boys network my lads first assessment the only negative was his shirt wasn’t tucked in

What a banana. There was lots he could have said about position and decision making and talking and whistle use etc but no tuck your shirt in

Most academies do it. Maybe some and maybe only a couple

Pretty sure there’s quite a large pool of professional refs

He’s in a poor position to see it and the assistant is the other side
Their player is a coward he knows he can’t be seen and he takes a cheap shot
Sometimes the players need to take things into their own hands

Really? Do they have to get an actual qualification? Do they have to do stuff like reffing lower age groups?

Makes you wonder why there's so few refs available and also why they give so much grief to refs.

Just noticing the women refs are as fast as the players

Like they did when their striker committed about 7 bookable offences and nothing happened?
Should be yellows but that ref got castigated by the press and forced to apologise for booking a player for what refs have been told they must this season
