What part of "I have nothing to add. I'm not going to get drawn into any further debate on this matter" is it that you have difficulty in understanding

Fair enough ref was crap. However, the main problem was our lack of bite up front, we missed 3 clear and pretty easy chances. One mistake at the back less or one cleaner strike and it would have been a draw or a win for us. We can't change how crap the ref is but we can, for instance, stop pretending Benteke is going to score.

Red and Blue Army!

Ref bottled it because it was 5 mins in.

More than 10 mins into the game and he gets sent off.

It is unusual to get pens/red cards in the first 5 mins of games, because refs are not usually put in that situation so early.

Its a real issue though as referees need to give the same fouls on the halfway line as they do in the area, and they need to give the same decisions in the first minute versus the last, but they just dont. Human nature perhaps.

Maybe there is a culture of fear with the refs to not make a mistake, and they would rather NOT give something and make a mistake, than give something and make a mistake. There have to be repercussions for poor displays but when you make refs afraid of making a bad decision then they will tend to bottle it rather than give it.

Lets face it we have had plenty of times when we should have had a guy sent off and it didnt happen, albeit this was a real nasty one.

Luck generally evens itself out over the season. We got away with a pen vs Fulham and coughed up a dodgy one versus Liverpool, for example.

We have also had occasions where the opponent was down to ten men and we looked WORSE. lol.

But lets face it, Souness was right, he absolutely bottled it, probably because it was the first major thing to he had to do.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

That wont ever happen but I would like to see the reports they put in I don't see why they shouldn't be public.

had the ref not given him a yellow then we would be seeing him get few games ban.

The biggest issue is the rules the game has changed and its either a contact sport or not because just look at the chelsea penalty yesterday that was a very good tackle yet because theirs contact after he has first touched the ball it's deemed a foul what is that about this sort of thing has destroyed football same with how you flick a player he does down holding his head.

Surely ut should bd if he gets the ball first but then follows through dangerously it should be a foul (like vardys sending off). Schars follow through was hardly dangerous and IMO shouldn't havd been a penalty. It's basically banning the sliding tackle, because it's almost impossible to slide in, win the ball, and not touch the player.

Can you show me where it says that on the fa rules, because try as I might I can't see anything saying that. Or are the refs just making up their own rules now.
