so why not explain what happens? Willo never would....all we as fans see is referees getting worse and worse with NO punishment/sanctions whatsoever!!

your out of order, if you dont know what goes on, facts over fiction dont post until you do

This has all been done to death in Willo threads over the years since long before our know-it-all friend wandered in. Suffice it to say that if this "process" worked (which he now admits he doesn't know inside out after all) then the standards of officiating would steadily improve; instead we have seen a consistent and continuing pattern of decline and, last season, quite a lot of really embarrassing performances.

None of that is under much dispute round here and anyone who walks in singing the praises of Cl*****burg and claiming to be a Palace fan is bound to get flamed to toast for obvious reasons.

Ok when you get back tell us all what happens on a general basis, we dont wanna know names, we all know the bad ones.Just interested in what happens when they get a series of bad reports, as plenty of them must. If some of us did our jobs as badly as they do we'd be sacked, they never seem to be!

the report from ref is submitted to the league, the same is for clubs reports with a grading.
if below a mark of 51 they are then down graded if more than 2 match grading in a row are below 51 which has happened,
most league games there is a assessor who marks the refs performance,regardless what the assessor marks the clubs marks hold sway,
TV is used because there is 30 cameras to catch all foul play as i said before ref only has 2 eyes
So reason we still have the same refs are the clubs dont want todo the paperwork when marking ref below 51

Being a ref in football is one of the hardest jobs in football to get right, as you only give what you see, standing in the wrong position having players run across you so on and so on
Clattenberg has been the ref 23 times for us, but we all remember the final because he was so bad.
not defending him but showing how blinked we are when result doesnt go our way

He even admitted to thinking about his record refereeing us as he was doing so? If he was impartial, why would this matter? The least we should expect from a ref is impartiality but it often looks like there is a bias towards sides, in my opinion.
This was also backed up by research a few years back. Refs need a major shake-up.
My conjecture is that, when the Premier League started controlling their own refs, they were told to make the games 'more entertaining'; hence the controversial decisions every week.
