Blind Bastards aka Premiership Refferees

They really need eye tests every week, the amount of stuff they miss and get wrong is amazing. The argument of human error doesnt hold up. Why should human error by someone not in your team cost you points? Its been said a lot but i really think its time for video replays to be introduced. People wont abuse it if its used the same way as american football does it. You have a limit as to how many times you can get a replay looked at during a match.

West Ham vs Arsenal.
1. Van Persie about 10 yards onside and near trough on goal, linesman says offside so attack ends unfairly.
2. Hleb clearly hacked down from behind 8 yards from goal, should be a penality, ref waves play on.
3. Flamini kicked and shoved to the ground just before West Ham goal, ref waves play on.

With video replays none of that would have happened. Their are hundreds of incidents like this i just used these three as an example today. Its things like this that are ruining the game for everyone. How can you enjoy it when the refs are making so many mistakes and costing teams points like this every week.

Video replays introduced = fair play in football.

What do you guys think?

i may not be a huge soccer fan but i do know that lets say they do nfl style you get like 2

ill take your first instance so the ref says hes office you challenge the call and they reverse the decision the only problem is it ends your attack sure you get a free kick and all that but still that gives the other team time to get back and into position so really you are killing your attack, the other ones sure youd get a free kick but once again slows the play down way too much

challenges/video replay dont work as well as in soccer as they do in football bc football you stop after each play soccer you are always going and having to wait like 2 minutes while the ref decides the call would kill all momentum

Ya, suffys right, yea it would be nice to have them but it would really kill the pace of the game, They are only humans and they will make errors its how the game works. I would just like them to after the game look at replays and catch if the player dived, I know it would be to late but you could extract some kind of punishment on them, it would cut down on it and make the game better.

its the in-game decisions that could decide your season. three points could be the differance between finishing first or second, playing in the champions league or uefa cup, playing priemership or championship next season

Yeah, well, nice to see your starting to realise that playing 3/4th place two weeks in a row and winning them both easily is no mean feat. And United have done that. Face it, best team in the league at the moment.

now your just lame dave, this tread has nothing to do with utd, its about refs.
