Frankenstein Jambo. Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Just watching MOTD2 Refs down there every bit as bad as ours at times, the english FA seems to be as bad too with players only able to appeal straight reds but not yellows Not quite as bad but they are bad none the less. They dont tend to be as bias towards the big four like they are down here for the old firm. That "ghost goal" was the worst decision i ever seen through.

blackjambo Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Just watching MOTD2 Refs down there every bit as bad as ours at times, the english FA seems to be as bad too with players only able to appeal straight reds but not yellows They make mistakes - just like the players, but the difference seems to be that they start from the position of being neutral and don't see it as part of their job to support the big clubs. They are full time professionals so train hard, keep up with play and review their own performances in consultation with the referee supervisors. IIRC, they have to declare their any allegiance to a club and do not ref games involving that team. Streets ahead of the OF supporting mafia that we have up here.

Scotland football fans (non OF) could only dream of feeling they have a fair chance week in and out. The whole system in Scotland is corrupt from top to bottom. Any word on Walter Smiths date with destiny. Didn't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say What Again Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 That "ghost goal" was the worst decision i ever seen through. Really? Watch around 116 mins. Ball crosses the line, defender picks up ball and hands it to the keeper - play on! http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=xKuLtLXl7FI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun.lawson Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Sorry - this was the worst decision ever (and the one I presume Heartsfc1210 is referring to?): http://www.dailymotion.com/related/x6u0bp_watford-2-vs-reading-2-the-goal-tha_sport/video/x6tsva_watford-reading-no-goal_sport Honourable mention to: http://www.megavideo.com/?v=EWJPJWDI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well you blame him for everything else. Hearts win again so you can't really moan about that so you find a new subject to complain about. Are you a professional misery or just a gifted amateur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawaii Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 English FA haul up players and managers before them the week after match. Scottish FA wait until the disciplinary committee are due to sit in December to discuss what action to take since their last meeting. Spot any difference between a professional organisation and a corrupt cartel?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
