Swinney and the Greens want to nationalise Clattenburg. Vile. Only a vote for Lord Botham will stop this.

Jordan Pickford taking out Van Dijk in the Merseyside derby. Awful, awful challenge. No action by either Referee or VAR.

Also without me sounding like a cop, let me be the latest person to say that I’m not a fan of the “ref you suck” chants at Audi. It takes away from what the players do on the field and I think the team actually doesn’t perform as well when the crowd is fixated on the decisions of the referee.

The Bengals have a long history with the referee calling Sunday's game at Pittsburgh.

And he's coming off a game in his crew called 22 penalties.

I think every club has at least one referee who they see as notorious, usually just on the basis of one match, not a series of games. Good performances are forgotten, bad ones (real or imagined) can stick in the mind permanently.

"If you exist in this back and forth between Congress and the White House, your principal role is as a referee between consumers, competition, and corporations. I've been on both sides -- corporate and regulatory. The job of a corporation is to develop returns for its stakeholders." (5)

They feel the need to protect referees and shield them from accountability because it’s difficult to replace them, as the number of people wanting to be a referee keeps declining. Ok so do something to make it more attractive!

So full disclosure, I used to be a referee (over a decade ago and not in the UK) so I understand how a lot of these systemic issues came about and I kinda sympathise with the arguments that it is incredibly difficult to make changes without causing an exodus

I think the Liverpool goal should have been allowed, but this stuff is very weird to me.

Yes, Sky Sports, making the first call on an offside is literally the main job of an assistant referee. It's why they have a big, colourful flag to lift. Not a conspiracy.
