Poor referee(-s)

Post by Marc van Arc »

I have never done this before, but after witnessing the game PSV- HSV I feel the urge to state that referee Micheal Dean and his (5!) linesmen were a bunch of very poor referees. Boooh!

I didn't see that game :?

Although officiating any sport is often a thankless task there have been some shocking football refereeing decisions lately.... Boooo, indeed

Watch football :roll:

I would rather stick pins in my eyes :shock:

I would find that more interesting than watching a bunch of overpaid nancy boys kicking an inflated pigs bladder around a grassy field into a fishing net held up by a few pieces of wood. :thumbsup:

Ok rant over :beardy:

As you may have guessed .... I'm not the worlds greatest fan :lol:

Thanks for this confirmation.
I know it's easy to blame the ref, but his performance was the worst I've seen since Russian ref Ivanov ruined the match between Portugal vs Netherlands in 2006.

The ref dudes that got France to the world cup at the expense of Ireland also need a good lambasting. Didn't watch that game Marc - loosing on away goals is always sore and having an idiot ref is even worse.
