Anyone see the decisions in the QPR vs Swansea game?

he standard of officiating in the Prem is diabolical. Green should have been sent off; ditto Henry for trying to remove Routledge's leg, who himself sees red for 'retaliating'.

Shambles.

thats UEFA mate - it would be financially disastrous for them if Swansea and Southampton made it into the CL rather than us, liverpool & United.

Some awful decisions yesterday, including liverpools first pen. But the ones that annoy most are those where the red clearly sees it and just completely bottles it. Like staring at Smallingss starman handball from literally 5 yards away and somehow deciding it wasn't a penalty, or deciding that the foul on Sanchez in some way was not preventing a clear goal scoring opportunity.

That Harry Kane looks a player, thankfully he'll be off to Madrid in the summer. 5-3 fucking hell, Jose making up his excuses already the fucking horrible prick.

average. one good game against a hungover chelsea. hes scored 7 league goals. the rest in mickey mouse competions against part timers.

spurs are shite. always will be.

bar lloris the whole squad is bang average. been exceedingly lucky agaisnt swansea, hull, leicester, villa, united, burnley and palace only deserved to win against everton who are equally crap.

swansea, leicester, burnley, villa and hull all should have been draws. palace, united and should have won. spurs were 2nd best in all those games, some by a big margin yet still won (burnley for example).

there c untiy luck will run out soon enough and they will get what they deserve.

the quality of refereeing in the EPL has been the worst officiating i've seen in ANY professional sports league, EVER, for the last 5 years. I've made threads about it before. something needs to be done. it's like these shithole refs don't have to answer to anyone for any of their mistakes.

it should be mandatory for every ref to have a press conference at the end of each game, with a monitor there that has instant replay...so that they can fucking try to explain their shit decisions they made in the game.

I thought that one of Howard Webbs big policies was that referees were going to start explaining decisions after games.

It is a very hard job but you look at some of the decisions this weekend - Smalling handball, Routledge red, Liverpool penalty, Southampton non-red card - and you have to think that it's not just a case of poor decisions but referees bottling it.
