On Saturday Arsenal were awarded a penalty after about seventy minutes against Man.City. The linesman took his position on the line watching the goalkeeper's position while the ref. concentrated on the spot. Van Persie shot, Smichael saved, but the linesman had seen that the keeper had advanced a yard or so from his line and signaled this by waving his flag and then placing it across his chest meaning that the kick should be retaken of course. The referee for some reason which I have yet to fathom chose to ignore the linesman who's specific job was to observe the keeper's position  The worst bit was that Van Persie was my fantasy team's captain  |

also how was the spurs penalty not given!!!
I can understand if it happend on the edge of the box and the ball was going nowhere and he says ball to hand but when its in the 6 yard box, its an open goal and the balls clearly going in and brown dives down to stop it how can he not give it?

The ref at our game on Saturday was awful. He was not even going to give the penalty until the linesman flagged although he was closer to thr play than the linesman. Also it was very strange that the linesman flagged about the keeper moving but the ref did nothing. Saying that though Every keeper moves forward off the line on every penalty but nothing is done and normally nothing is said. The fact is the penalty wasnt good enough.
Bolt, maybe Im biased but I watched the Man utd game yesterday and Im not sure if it was a penalty or not. from one angle it looks like it hits his chest/ side and the other angle it looks like it hits his arm. I have seen it several times and Im still not sure. The ref sees it once and if he is not sure he cant give it. It is also very very funny not to give spurs a penalty, and Mendes shot never crossed the line a couple of years ago either.

The ref was clearly a numpty in the Arsenal match but in the Man U/Spurs game, you often get decisions that can go either way in these bottom of the league clashes - one team always leaves feeling that they've been hard done by  |

If you want better refs, stop giving them so much stick.
More people will want to be refs if it's a better gig. Larger base of the pyramid, higher the peak yadda yadda, so the best refs will get better innit.
Keep nailing their arse to the wall and you'll just need more nails, and more walls. (or something)

I'd hate to be a ref, I can't see the appeal. Some get death threats, things thrown at them during and after matches, no thanks from people when it goes well but so much abuse if things don't go so well. It's not like they get paid a fortune to do it either.

If brown had stuck his arm out I'd have agreed with you, but as his arm was by his side as he jumped to get his chest to the ball I'd say that it was ball to hand. |
