that’s a lot calmer than i’d be if i worked for wolves tbh.
7 points lost in 13 games bc var can’t do their job is ridiculous
9 points*
They hated him because he told them the truth
Based.
how long does it have to keep going like this before something changes though? everyone sees something is deeply fucked with refereeing in the PL. the fans see it, the players see it, the staff see it. you can’t ban everyone
I mean he’s correct
Taylor alleged that Hobbs passed by him as he was leaving the field and remarked: "Absolutely f**** useless as usual."
The referee then outlined to Hobbs that his attitude and behaviour were unacceptable to which he, and assistant referees Adam Nunn and Gary Beswick, allege Hobbs replied: “We look forward to your apology again.”
Well worth the 1 game ban tbh
Based
This guy is my new hero.
Showerthought: abolish fines and bans for critisising referees, but in turn it’s mandatory for refs to trash talk managers and players during the match as well.
Let him talk.
Man punished for being right
If the crowd sings “The ref’s a jolly old wanker”, is the FA going to make the home team play without fans?
I can actually see it get to this point.
They are so intent on not letting the corrupt pricks get abused that its something they would do instead of actually doing their jobThey have no intention of doing their job, everyone with eyes can see it. But don’t worry, we actually have proof.
There was a big investigation endorsed by Kick it Out and the FA into the referee observer system, the pipeline that gives us refs from the grassroots to the top and it concluded that they were incredibly racist.
One observer is alleged to have told one referee: “You lot can all run fast, but that’s all you are good for.” Another is claimed to have said: “If you want to progress, you need to cut your dreadlocks.” Another made an offensive comment about throwing a banana
the FA’s 14-strong referee committee overseeing the diversity initiatives has no black, Asian or mixed heritage members. It is headed by David Elleray, a former referee who was sanctioned by the FA in 2014 after allegedly making racist comments to another official.
during one diversity meeting, a senior FA official had suggested that additional black referees could be recruited from among people leaving prison.
The fall out from this? They’ve “suspended” a whopping THREE assessors in two years.
With just two non-white referees in the professional game, John Davies, a current member of the FA Refereeing team responsible for refereeing observations, allegedly stunned colleagues during a session on anti-discrimination by saying: “I didn’t see any issues with the slave trade” and using the word “coloured” repeatedly.
Davies will serve 12 weeks with eight suspended for 12 months. He is the third referees’ assessor to be found guilty of racist conduct after the FA suspended another, Mick Ewen, for four months for similarly offensive language last summer.
And in January this year, another observer, Frank Smith, was suspended for just 42 days, told to complete an online education programme and fined £35 after he too was found to have used racially offensive language.
These assessors were not sacked. These assessors were not removed. The system saw no change.
Huh, I’ve always felt the prem refs are almost all white bald blokes, and found it weird. I’ve wanted to say there must be some racism involved but didn’t want to jump to conclusions, and well, there you go… This is so sad.
Damn that’s interesting as fuck, thanks for sharing.
It’s mindboggling the original news drop got almost no attention on /r/soccer.
This should be part of the discussion in every single conversation about referees but half the time it’s always deflecting to fixing abuse to fix the pipeline which nobody can do nothing about except moralise and handwringing.
Honestly they’re so thin skinned if the crowd started chanting “you don’t know what you’re doing” they’d probably have a mare over it.
Well a “Fuck Paul Tierney” chant was already ringing around Anfield a few weeks ago… surprised more wasn’t made of it in the media tbh
Watching the game could constantly hear “Premier League, corrupt as fuck”, so I expect a 7 point deduction for Wolves.
Unpopular opinion but all the ref and var hating the is ruining the game.
Wolves have reason though. Lost 7 points, received more apologies then one hand can count, and it’s not even halfway through the season. They’d be tied for 8th place right now with Brighton if that hadn’t occurred.
These also aren’t games like Newcastle/Arsenal where it’s like if Bruno had got the red we “might” have won, it’s they weren’t given penalties in game they either lost by a goal or drew in and most likely would have scored them to win.
The refs being the shitest they have ever been is ruining the game.
this bald fraud is ruining the game, there’d be no need to call him or VAR out if they did their job
Show me the lie
If the lie doesn’t fit you must acquit! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit!
One game? Hes not a player, what’s the point of the suspension?
This is a gutless punishment.
