Westwood52 I can’t stand Liverpool FC ;probably because I grew up with them winning the League nearly every year.However,how can that be a penalty for Everton’s second goal ? TAA is just lying on the ground,when Calvert Lewin just goes over him.

Franconian Royal I'm not even sure that any of the refs played footie, let alone know the rules properly.

Franconian Royal Have to say that the refereeing in the UK has been atrocious for many years.
I mean, just look at the pool of Prem refs, they are the same idiots every week. I'm not even sure that any of the refs played footie, let alone know the rules properly.
I'm going to give my 10p worth and call me names all you like. I think he refs that we've been assigned in recent weeks have been at the bottom of the bottom. There were numerous 50/50s at the weekend where I thought that the ref gave too easily. Was João fouled numerous times by Fry at the weekend? Yes, I think he was. What happened to protecting the players? Fry was literally pushing him around. This is probably the reason why Porno and Moore had a go at the ref at HT.
In my opinion, VAR should also be used in the FL as well as Prem. It's not right that there are contentious decisions every week and we don't have VAR to fall back on. BUT, and this shows that I've been playing Footie Manager for too long, it should be used properly and not just for the sake of it. IF, the decision is still too hard to decide on, then VAR shouldn't be used to solve that issue (whether it be pen, red card, offside goal etc).

This comment is full of soundbites, cliches and pretty much anything else other than actual content or facts to back up what you are saying. 99.9% of ref's have played football at some time in their life. Referee's are treated atrociously behind the scenes, literally like the bottom of their shoe. Not allowed to speak to the media, blanked at boardroom level and we see the disregard and abuse they take from players and fans week on week. Yes you have the elite refs who are paid a fair wage at Prem Level but end of the day it is a hobby or second job to those at Championship level.
Whether phone calls at home (hope you can sleep at night) letter in post (we know where your daughter lives) followed home in car needing police escort are all worth it for the total lack of respect they get is a matter of opinion. (all those things i have experienced).
Refereeing more than now need to be cut some slack.

Rusty royal Football needs rugby union stile refereeing, only the captain can "talk" to the ref. It is rare that a rugby player "argues" with the ref and they are man enough (the ref) to admit a fault after the game. I agree that sometimes mistakes are made but players make it to easy for the ref to make that mistake, how can the 4th official (on pitchside) give a penalty from the halfway line, it's absolutely ridiculous. If (var which is too complicated) or a match monitor (mic'ed up) was up in the stand within the commentary area, they would have a better view and could just say "penalty" "corner" or whatever decision was needed. Perhaps it would stop a lot of refereeing mistakes, plus better training for them.
There is far too much money in football these days and it has ruined the game I used to love, playing and watching. Give me rugby every time now (yes I played and watched a lot of that too)

Millsy I think they should make people who want to be referees go through some sort of training so they learn the rules and how to implement them. Surely we can't just continue to go by people being referees because they own a black kit and are free on a Saturday.

so you think referee's appointed to local league matches and beyond just turn up on the day after a bit of googling perhaps?
Dont follow detailed weekly course, undertake an exam, regularly assessed, work through the leagues etc etc?
