English refereeing's darkest day?

This is typical of your posting, it's all jokes, fun and games when it's Liverpool then you go full on Maude Flanders when it's United.

Homer you have me mixed up with someone else.

nope, your first reply to this thread was to say the following about david gill, which was in relation to the fact that Liverpool fans felt agrived at the decisions in the Everton v Liverpool and Chelsea V United games -

Look this is going to be hard to sound unbiased...,

but there is no fücking way a club official should be vice chairman of the FA.
I would hold this belief if it was my team who had their CEO as vice chairmen of the FA.

Honest intentions or not they (FA) will always be open to such scrutiny and rightly so.

Does Lionel Hutz know about this?

I actually asked you to explain at the time what he was attempting to do. Do you have an answer now?

I really do dislike Suarez. He has so much talent but he dives and cheats at almost every opportunity.

Edit: Jeez thats a despicable thing to do in the .gif posted just before me.

He has been at it all season tbf. Rakes of similar gifs doing the rounds. None of the tackles are as dangerous Keane vrs Haaland, for example, but he'll eventually injure someone. seems to do it out of frustration.

Anyway, back on point, English refereeing's darkest day was probably that ghost goal Reading got a few years back. Mental decision.

wrong on both accounts!

I never once mentioned David Gill and clearly stated that I would have the same concerns if the LFC CEO was made FA chairman. It's there plain to see.

I also stated that good intentions or not the FA will always be open to scrutiny and backlash for this moronic appointment.

It's a big jump from you to say my post all boiled down to David Gill and a decision against Everton when my OP was clear as day

Wasn't Liverpool's CEO or somebody to do with them involved with the FA a while back?

Here's another one,so he has form.



The thing about Suarez is that he simply doesn't care about peoples opinions,he cheats,dives,racially abuses players but doesn't give a fiddlers what anyone thinks of his actions.This trait of his is what makes people hate him even more.

Arsenal.

Stupid appointment also.

J. Marston

I don't think it was deliberate but I understand why some people think it was, he does have a bit of form for it. I'm not talking about the Ghana thing either, I think he's been booked for it already this season.

I know the Arsenal one. pretty sure there was a Liverpool one as well. not sure how I'd go about finding it out but I'll have a look.

Edit: Noel White. Was director for Liverpool until 2006, chairman for a while in the 90s and VP of the FA from 96-02.

you really should actually read the thread again, before posting....just incase there is something wrong with your boards access, ill refresh your mind, here is your next line on the topic a few minutes later.

Leiva wrote: »

Yes but that was also a crazy appointment. It doesn't make Gills appointment anyless bizarre.

your point about Liverpool CEO or whatever is redundant as all you are doing is attempting to add some mystical muscle to your argument when the reality is you wouldnt give two f8cks if it ever happened.

in a thread about bad decisions, your first point was to give our about the fact that United CE was on the FA board. you are trying to deny this, which is sad and i have since proven that you are telling porkies.

i take it on this evidence and your subsequent dose of Alzheimers about the topic, that you no longer believe that conspiracy theories exist when refs makes mistakes and that, you are outraged by the performance of Marriner and his 3 colleagues today?

write a letter to Mr Gill and tell him as such please and it should make you feel better.

Could probably link filty tackles from Rooney, Fellanni and a host of other players if that's the game.

Some of the best players have a wild streak.

Link us one with Rooney doing this.

Where should the appointment come from? Outside of football? No matter the club or the level there's always going to be accusations of bias because that's the way that football fans are. I'm struggling to see how this problem can be addressed to your satisfaction. I'd have thought that given the nature of the role it'd have to be someone involved in the game, in club football. Does that not make any appointment suspicious? Doesn't it also seem a little nuts to evaluate the role like that?

Suarez has been particularly bad this season, tough. Haven't seen much from Rooney in a while but he has his moments. Fellaini is filthy, tbf. Doubt anyone will deny it. Not sure what the point is, though, considering people were talking about Suarez. What they do doesn't negate Suarez's actions.

Are you for ****ing real accusing me of pulling a topic out of my arse and then accusing me of trying to deny it?

The OP asked a question (2 posts before mine)

Does David Gill's position within the FA make for a conflict of interest?

I clearly posted my views in a reply directly on it trying not to sound biased, and deliberately not mentioning names in concern that the thread would go the way you have just made the last few posts on this page.

Then someone mentions David Deins appointment to which I did reply with Gills name, but that was after the event (original reply) and the thread had evolved.

Don't try and make out I was lying when in your last post, and you deliberately ignore to mention how the thread envolved and unfolded.

I'm done with this.
Don't try and make out you were all about officials missing decisions when your true intentions was to bring Man Utd and previous comments into the Frey........something I intentionally tried to avoid!

This only became an issue when somebody affiliated with United took over the position. not a dickie bird when it was a Liverpool director or a former Arsenal chairman. And rightly so because it's all conspiracy theory mentalness.

I thought this thread was about the standard of refereeing in the english game, why the **** are people posting gifs of suarez.

If he's so bad why aren't the FA doing something about it then?

Against Swansea in November.



He seems to have a lot of accidents on the pitch,maybe like the handball today,these were accidents too.He's more accident prone than Mr. Bean it seems








He was quoted as saying: "If I am obliged to stop a ball in the last minute and we win, then I will repeat the action. Success for Liverpool is more important to me than anything else."

Ordinary man

You're right, there should be a thread devoted to suarez' antics. It could contain his best handballs, bad tackles, racist rantings and blatent diving. We could update it every few weeks and see how far he can push the boundries til some player decides to give him a dose of his own medicine;)

This is a thread about referees and decisions. Your Suarez obsession should be posted elsewhere. Can I suggest the Long Term Illness thread?

Yup the same fans who defended racism. They don't belong in the game tbh.

Resurrected due to the cheating of one player today.

Wall of gifs could be even bigger if you like.

Even the fans behind the goal had a delayed reaction before celebrating today as they seemed to expect the whistle to go for a free out.

kryogen

Whether or not Luis Suarez is a piece of **** or not is not up for debate on this thread afaik, the answer to that question is already known by most anyway.

Officials have a tough job, some of them make life very hard on themselves and others. Better training and more accountability and help for them would help

He said that about his handball for Uraguay

And rightly so

Anyone got a gif of Rooney attempting to murder McCarthy by elbowing him in the head?

It's a scummy thing to do. But he's not near the level of Suarez. I wonder will Liverpool fans defend him so blindly when he gets his move to a big club?

steve french

he apologised because he would not have had his ban reduced if he didn't.
and i'm pretty sure he apologised first for getting sent off, not for kicking the montenegro player

Any chance you could stick up the one where he kicked the keeper a week or two back? You seem like someone with plenty of time on their hands so I will let you figure out which match.

Is was a question before the FA cup semi iirc. From some rag.

Stick two sentences together and idiots who read rags lap it up. But that's the idea isn't it

Watching the incident again-there was a clear line of sight from the linesman to Suarez,so how the hell did he miss the handball? It's not as if he was trying to see if a ball crossed the line among a scrum of players.
