BSTYou asked if Fergie was right to say that he would shoot refs.He didn't say that.
Looking around the Leagues there seems to have been some controversies at all levels this weekend:Watford v Southampton. Watford player scores equaliser with his hand.Newcastle v Swansea. Newcastle defender saves a goal with his hand.Middlesbrough v Fulham. Boro denied a penalty as blatant as ours and then concede one from a dive (at least the diver should cop a ban over that).Lincoln v Notts County. Cowley sent to the stands for protesting about a goal.And just now... Bournemouth v Arsenal. Referee misses an Arsenal handball despite being perfectly placed.Should give the FA food for thought, but I won't hold my breath. All referees involved (except at Lincoln) are full timers.
It just showed the copps penalty shout on sky sports and even David Ellary said it was a definite Penalty and he would have given it 😠
A big question has to be asked of the lino, it was under his nose and he never gave it

This is week in week out. It’s a not funny any more. It needs sorting.

The ref has 1 chance in real time

The incident when Butler went to ground started outside the box, he waited till he was inside the box to go down.
Credit to the officials that the Liverpool v City game passed off without any and everyone was able to concentrate on the football.
... and as I always say (and will continue to bore people on here no doubt) we need a Ref in each half DF was right in one way saying Refs are "unfit" but maybe he should have gone on to say "in relative terms to the athletes they are chasing about these days"Give them just a half each to rules over and things would improve somewhat but would still be open to errors like the foul on John Stones or the Penalty shout when Copps was fouled with the Refs ideally placed and one with a Lino exceptionally well placed as well
I think I'm right in saying that some refs delegate fewer responsibilities to lino's than others. Maybe Saturday's lino was told not to get involved in penalty incidents.
