From Liberty to Injustice; the solution to the Championship’s referee woes?

💙 Blues leave the Jacks feeling blue The travelling Jacks left Birmingham empty handed on Saturday; with nothing except continued frustration at the EFL’s

I think it has to come, no question.

With the amount of cash floating around the Championship VAR has to come, like it or lump it. Its not perfect but 99% of the decisions like the disallowed goal at Brum should be sorted.

Either that or have more referees for the referees at the games... Dishing out cards every time the ref gets a decision wrong. But then, who referees the referees referee?? More referees?

The only problem with VAR is human error - an issue we've seen a number of times in the past. No system is without its faults, but it can't be any worse than it currently is!

there is also an interpretation problem within VAR especially over handball that is nowhere near being settled.

Automated Offsides is all that’s needed.

F**k VAR.

Bollocks to VAR.

Ask Premier League fans who go to stadiums every week about how it's ruined the game as a spectacle, then come back and tell me how it's enhanced the game.

Goalline tech and offsides, ok, fine.

But the rest can get in the bin. Worst thing to happen to football in decades.

Keep goal-line technology, and if you have to draw lines to decide if it's on or offside, then give the goal; simple.

Look where the linesman is, yep on the 18 yard box line. Look where VP is and the defender who played him on, yep, around 6 or 7 yards out! He might as well be standing on the halfway line and flagged. Better still why not get rid of linesman altogether , maybe that's a solution ! Of course I'm taking the p*ss but the question is why have them in the first place if they can't do the job they are suppose to do. You see them running up and the line and warning up at the beginning of the game yet they can't keep up with play. What is more crazy is, how on earth can he raise his flag when he's not up will play? Why didn't say on his headpiece I didn't see it? Of course they can't say that, they'd look like idiots right. So what do you call someone who makes a decision like that when he's not even seen it? An idiot or bias perhaps? What is quite obvious to everyone in the game is Swansea City losing points on the back of corrupt bais officials. I'll be conservative as at least 4 points, and if those were included we'd be in the top 3 right now! Club officials aren't allowed to make any negative comments about the Ref, only good one's like Hull City boss did! I'll call it for what it is, bais and cheating! Process of elimination is as Sherlock Holmes once said, "if you take away the impossible what reminds, how improbable must be true". He didn't see but made the decision. The question is motive. Either way you look at he cheated!

The technology works, it's the idiots using it which are the problem.

 

[Smurph]

If all officials were at competent standard we wouldn't need technology.

Even with things such as VAR and automated offsides they still find away to fuck things up.

Dropping a ref who has made a clanger in a premier league match in to the championship is utter nonsense. How is that fair on the teams in the championship or whatever league they are bombed in to as a punishment.

There should be more accountability placed on the officials for the blatant mistakes they make week in week out. Maybe they should be paid on performance match by match.

If any of us on here kept fucking up like they do we'd get sacked in no time.

 

[johnjubal1958]

.... Quick PS. Now take my comment to the FA and say, now deny that!

Spot on.

The worrying aspect for me is how referees and officials in general are being promoted to the top tier, fast tracked far too early in their refereeing career.
Our opening fixture at Boro was refereed by Fari Hallam who had officiated in a handful of game in the Championship the previous season. He actually made his league debut as a referee in the EFL in the last game of the 22/23 season, and between the last two International breaks he was the fourth official in a Premier League game.
When I see a long time serial offender in making mistakes during 90 minutes - Stuart Attwell - strutting around with the FiFA badge on his chest you know that there are going to be cock-ups during the match. God help us!!

God help us indeed!

I can't name one referee and think you know what he's pretty decent.
