Not seen a great deal of football myself this weekend but the bits I have seen it seems the refs and their trusty assistants are having a mare again this weekend. I'm often quick to defend them with the split second they have to make a decision but fuck me half these fuckers need to get to spec-savers these days!!
I saw the Everton City game on MOTD and the Fellani handball " just outside the area......." was simply unbelievable and I believe something similar happened for Norwich at Sunderland today.
Watched a bit of Wigan Newcastle and I must admit I've always found Halsey one of the better clowns but not good today, the challenge by Mcnanaman was shocking, I'm guessing Halsey's view was blocked as for me a straight Red and he didn't even stop play ffs! Looked like handball for their last min winner as well. I guess Wigan are gonna start their usual come to life mid March and spawn an escape. Sympathy for the Geordies today, on the wrong end of some shocking decisions.
Had enough of this League back when fuck all was done for Van Persie's elbow. Not paid for one Prem game this season and don't intend to for a good while. That foul was one of the worst i have ever seen, so high it is unbelievable... Usually bad ones like that are lower.
And as for the hand of god shite, baffles me to the point i wonder why i watch all this shite these days anyway.

Agree to a degree which is why I often defend some of them but fuck me there are more and more shocking decisions where they don't need replays just eye tests imo.

Talking out of your arse, Dennis Wise as your avatar, makes sense.
The 'nice lad' has done it before,
"Taken from the match report for the Manchester City v Wigan Athletic U21 league game on March 1st, 2011:
John Guidetti scored a late winner as City's Elite Development Squad returned to winning ways against Wigan.
However, the gloss was taken off the victory when former Barcelona youngster Gai Assulin was stretchered off in the 90th-minute following a reckless tackle by Latics' Callum McManaman which led to his second yellow and resulting red card.
As yet, there is no update on Assulin, who left the pitch in a leg brace, or the extent of his injury.

He clearly goes for the ball, it bounced up at knee height, he actually touched the ball before the player, albeit not enough of the ball. You looked that up? Get a life.

Agreed, but the game is so fast these days. 10 times quicker than it was in the 80's, 90's. Bashing referees is all part of the drama for sky.

He went in with his studs raised how can you not see that

Tackling without your studs raised is very difficult.
There was never this furore of moral outrage over bad tackles in the 80's and early 90's. Looking up match reports from his under-21 games is embarrassing.
