I have been saying it for several years. He's not the only one, but he is certainly the worst offender.

The main talking point from the game seems to be the protracted arguments between Chelsea players over who would take Chelsea's penalty with the score already at 4-0...:confused: 2 challenges in the box, Palmer caught from behind, play continues until Madueke is clattered by Tarkowski on the...

More blatant "simulation" has gone unpunished this season. I sense the overturned Bournemouth penalty is one they will argue the foul continued into the area, whereas United will say it was definitely outside and the attacker fell into the defender after the initial contact.

Thoughts on the United penalty for "handball"? Granted I am slightly biased as I moved to Bournemouth 17 years ago and have developed a soft spot for my adopted home town team, especially having worked on the design team for their new training ground, but looks harsh to me, very high on the...

Just seen this for the first time on TT, utterly ridiculous. Absolutely no reason why the Arsenal defender should be handling that ball. The law regarding the ball leaving the area was changed to supposedly speed the game up, not to allow teams to weaponise it, with players saying after you, no...

There was me thinking I was alone. Watched the first half of City Vs Arsenal and immediately thought had Taylor been refereeing Burney Vs Brentford in a Saturday 3pm game, he would have had no hesitation in pulling out cards for identical challenges/incidents he chose not to card in the Man City...

I have no issues with the 2nd penalty, although we have seen similar challenges not given or reviewed this season.

For the neutral, one of the games of the season, it had absolutely everything including a late 2nd yellow/red for Anthony Gordon for kicking the ball away. Any thoughts on West Ham's 2nd goal. Newcastle player down with what they claim was a facial injury, but West Ham were allowed to take a...

Echoes of Burnley Vs Bournemouth a few years ago when Bournemouth thought they had equalised, given onfield. VAR then recommended a review, the Bournemouth goal was disallowed and Burnley were awarded a highly debatable penalty for handball instead.

In one of the youth leagues I used to ref on, 8 out of 10 teams wore Black shorts and socks, used to be a bit of a nightmare at times! For a professional club to make this kind of mistake, especially a Premier League club when playing one of their biggest rivals, is inexcusable really. Barring...

McGinn's "challenge" was wild at best. Zero intent to play the ball and lucky it didn't result in a serious injury.

Sunny Singh Gill ref'd his first Premier League game yesterday taking charge of Crystal Palace Vs Luton. The main talking point from his first game seems not from his on pitch performance, but his reported decision to sign autographs as he left the pitch at half time. Former PL ref and now the...

If I have paid £50 for a match ticket as a supporter, I certainly don't want to watch a keeper standing with the ball their hand for circa 20/30 seconds or taking nearly a minute to take a goal kick (which we have all seen many times) multiple times a game. Just like referees ignoring keepers...

Burnley annoyed and understandably so as Bournemouth's Tavanier kicks the ball away from a Burnley player as he is about to pick the ball up for a throw in, no card shown on this occasion by referee David Coute. Burnley's manager Vincent Company was not happy. It's this kind of lack of...

Sky Sports link of the incident...

Footballers are never really known as the brightest of sparks, but Burnley's O'Shea has to be a candidate for one of the quickest and most stupid yellow cards of the season. Within the first 30 seconds of the game, O'Shea knocks the ball out of play and into the crowd and his momentum takes him...

Yet Webb himself was guilty of some appalling inconsistency when he ref'd in what he considered what was worthy of a penalty and what wasn't.

Well done for reporting it, even if nothing comes out of it... Had an "interesting" one in my penultimate season. Home team I had ref'd regularly over several years. Good bunch of lads on the whole, one of the players was a tough but mostly fair competitor, who's tackles occasionally stayed...

Think Nicholas Jackson could do with some referee 1-2-1 given the number of yellow cards he has picked up already this season, even managed to get himself a yellow after being subbed off against Palace for over celebrating a goal!

Pick the bones out of that one. Sheffield United goal disallowed after VAR review for offside. Stuart Attwell blew his whistle immediately and appeared to disallow the goal initially for a push or handball in the area by a SU player, but then goes to the screen, talks to the captains and then...
