Dark$ide Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 We had a blatant pen not given, and a second arguable one. Yet every decision seems to have gone against us recently. I honestly can't remember the last referee to actually 'give us anything' home or away ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustyfunk Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I'm starting to think that 'we only get poo poo refs' is turning not a self fulfilling prophecy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrickyTrev Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I understand your frustration mate but this is the sort of argument we used to take the pi$$ out of the pigs with, and there "everybody hates us" squealing. We have had some poor refs this season but let's not go down the conspiracy route that Adams, Carver, Speed, Blackwell and Warnick went down.

Paul G Wisbech Owl Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Don't think it is just refs either, assistants decisions have been appalling at times, they seem to ignore fouls on our attackers on a regular basis and do not understand offside rules.

mosleyowl Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Probably because when refs give us anything we all say "correct decision, well done ref" and then forget about it, its footballing nature. Although I agree yesterdays was awful beyond comprehension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mosleyowl Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Also, as we drop further in the football leagues, standards of officiating will drop. It shouldn't but it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelowl Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 agreed I mentioned this a couple of times GM loves to have continually have a go at the ref /4th official yes banter sometimes But I'm struggling to think of a ref that gave us anything this season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ak15 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 excuses, excuses, always flipping excuses if we always get poo refs then the players should be putting in twice the effort to make sure we get the result, right now the players couldnt care less Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjani Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 And to be fair the penalty we got at Oldham was very dubious... Thought the ref was shocking yesterday (although it was a pen) but when things aren't going our way we do seem to put more blame on the refs. Lets be honest, if we were 2-0 up at Half time like we should have been we wouldn't have given a poo about half the decisions the ref made yesterday.

horny owl Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I'm convinced many refs are bent because loads of decisions against us are laughable. We don't get as many penaltys as other clubs and even when our players get fouled it's often our player that gets booked for it. There's bad refereeing and bent refereeing and I'm starting to believe its the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets be honest, if we were 2-0 up at Half time like we should have been we wouldn't have given a poo about half the decisions the ref made yesterday. Doesnt matter if we are 2 up or 2 down....a pen is a pen, and we need all the goals we can get. If that ref gave us a pen the game changes, and we should have had the confidence to go and get more goals. Not an excuse for poor performances, but it's about time we started having a bit of luck.

31Dec1966 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Its very hard not to think more decisions go against us than for us. I watch games carefully and try not to see it all through blue and white specs. How many penalties ha ve we had this season, and how many at a crucial time? At Oldham the game was won. At Blackpool a few years ago Lee Bullen was fouled in the area in a vital relegation game, Nothing. In the cup this year Blackpool get a dubiuos penalty ininjury time to draw (Phillips missed at Everton!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMortimer Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Yes, I'm convinced it's a conspiracy and that if we were able to gain access to the vaults of the FA we will find a document signed by every single league referee that decisions should be falsely given against us. Bloody hell - some of us have really got the mardies haven't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesvegas Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 At Hillsborough they are so against being influenced by the crowd that it actuslly works the other way and they favour the away teams without realising it It is in most people's nature to side with the underdog So even if the refs dont do it on purpose it still happens alot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JC Saviour Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I suppose we don't endear ourselves to the match officials if after a couple of decisions that don't go our way, the chants start. 'You don't know what your doing' There human and they see the fans and the team as one, therefore, any 50 50's forget it. I honestly think they go out of their way to give us jacksh*t. Can anyone really blame them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
